The sovereign citizen movement can be described as a form of witchcraft. They are ceremonies that people have convinced themselves have some sort of effect if performed correctly.
They feel more like a cargo cult to me. They've seen procedural law dramas and think that by doing the sorts of things people do on those shows they can arrive at the resolution they want.
What is a cargo cult if not a form of ceremonial magic?
That's a very fair point.
