Magician demystifies ‘black magic’

ABRACADABRA: Magician Krantikar tries to demystify black magic through a presentation at a magic show in Vijayawada on Friday.


VIJAYAWADA: As hundreds of girls watched curiously, ‘black magic’ was performed on a doll made of cotton in the seminar hall of Sri Durga Malleswara Siddhartha Mahila Kalasala on Friday.
Attired in black robes, magician Krantikar sprinkled turmeric and vermilion on the doll. In a few minutes, fumes began to emanate from the doll, while he asked the girls who watched him in a daze: “Do you believe that black magic can be performed on someone?”
Even as the girls remained perplexed, he continued: “As students of chemistry, you all know what will happen when potassium permanganate is mixed with glycerine. I mixed the chemical in vermilion and used glycerine instead of water to perform this so-called black magic.”
Coming out from a state of surprise, the girls gave a round of thunderous applause and said in unison that they would not believe in black magic or anything like that anymore. Combination of science
The special magic show, organised by the Chemistry Department of the college, saw Krantikar using various chemicals to prove that several beliefs were actually myths. “Magic is a combination of physics and mathematics. Magicians rarely use equations of chemistry in their shows, as it is very difficult to handle several chemicals of inflammable nature,” he said, before explaining the concept behind ‘Baanamathi,’ a well-known form of black magic.
As part of the show, he seriously looked at a matchstick and asked it to light up.
To the surprise of everyone, the matchstick ignited itself.
The secret behind it, as Krantikar explained, was dipping the matchstick in sulphuric acid before using it in the show.
“These are small tricks that are used widely by the so-called sorcerers in villages. We can create fumes in an empty bottle with the help of a few drops of ammonium and hydrochloric acid. By applying mercuric chloride to photo frames made of aluminium, we can make them produce a powder, which can be shown as ‘vibhoothi’ to gullible people,” he said.
Advising students to learn magic to improve their confidence levels, Krantikar said it was easy to learn a few tricks and he was ready to take classes for the interested ones. College principal J. Vasantha Kumari, head of the chemistry department S. Kalpana and others were present.

Voodoo Witchcraft

(Very Cruel & Deadliest of all)

Voodoo Witchcraft comes from the African continent & is extremely lethal. In the last few years it has spread into other parts of the world & is being mixed with other forms of Black magic to harm and kill people.

The clothes, hair, nails and picture are used to make a doll that resembles the victim; the heart area of the doll is kept open for the final ritual. A ritual is performed and a heart is pulled out from a live animals body while it is vibrating and placed into the heart area of the doll, at this point the doll is infused with life connecting the doll with the victim with an invisible psychic chord.

Once the doll and the victim are connected, 2-3 inch needles are pushed in the doll at specific acupuncture points to break the energy system of the victim. As the pins are pushed into the doll the victim feels as if a needle is being pierced into his body. The victim can be sitting thousands of miles away and will experience the attacks instantaneously. If the victim was made to eat or drink food and/or water that consists of "Masaan" (Ash of the Dead) infused with negatively charged energy by the black magician, the effects are life threatening and gives unlimited control over the victims Mind & Body. The prime focus of the black magician is to destroy the immune system of their victim.

In case of a man: head & temple area, thumbs & big toes are targeted to break the immune system. In case of women, breasts and private parts are attacked to terrorize & harm the victim. The individual can be killed using this technique in as little as 28 days (one Moon cycle). If the individual is physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually strong it becomes very difficult for the attacker to kill the victim within a specific time period and the attacks can continue for years until the victim or the black magician dies.

At present many forms of black magic are being used all over the world, the problem is rising at a horrifying rate and the governments are not interested in looking into the problem and making laws to punish the Black Magicians. In the past few years hushed up research has been done at the Stony Brook Medical College, New York. USA and they have concluded that Voodoo witchcraft can kill people.

90% of Vietnam is dominated by the practice of black magic; Parts of Asia including India, China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia are the areas where the science of black magic is spreading like wild fire. In the west: America, Mexico & parts of South America, England, Eastern Europe & Africa are some of the areas where Black Magic & Voodoo witchcraft is on the rise.

Here are some of the effects one can experience on the physical level if one has become a victim of Voodoo Witchcraft: In Voodoo the effects are not gradual but start instantly and the intensity of these attacks increase to higher levels depending upon the weakness of the individual.

· Waking up with a jerk and in fear within moments one falls into the first stage of sleep.

· A Dark or Grey smoke is seen in front of the eyes when awake.

· One's complexion turns dark & as the time passes it turns to darker shades of black.

· Stinging pains in different parts of the body.

· Shooting stinging pain in the tongue and one wakes up with extreme pain with a blister on the tongue.

· Burning of palms as if they have been put on fire

· Lips and other body parts get swollen in the spur of the moment for no medical reasons.

· Constant Fatigue/ Low Energy

· Mood Swings & extremely negative thinking that can lead to suicides

· Jerking/Twitching of muscles or body parts

· feeling of ants crawling on the body or body parts vibrate

· Heaviness/Tightness in the whole body or certain body parts

· In serious cases where spirits have taken control of the house where the individual is residing: one can experience dripping plasma from the walls, unusual activity of the insects & other wierd phenomenon that is unexplainable & unrealistic. Some of the unusual activity is only visible to the victims.

· Whether it is Black Magic or Voodoo witchcraft the effets are intensified on and around the Full Moon Nights and the Dark Moon nights

As the attacks continue the victim is torn down on multiple levels; gets bed ridden and eventually dies of no apparent medical reason. The doctor's cannot help him because the symptoms misguide the doctors into giving the individual stronger treatments with every passing day and one day the body gives-up.

Important:

The spirit activity increases 2-3 days before the Dark moon nights and the full moon nights. If you are a victim your condition will worsen around these periods. It will help you keep a log of the events around these periods. Please check the dates for the Full Moon Nights and the Dark Moon Nights that are listed below

INDIAN WITCH HUNT (National Geographic documentary)

Witchcraft is still widely believed in and 'practiced' in many backward parts of India. Jharkand in Ranchi has been dubbed 'the witch-killing hub of India' by journalists where women suspected of witchcraft are attacked and not seldom killed. Historians have estimated that, in Europe until the 17th to 18th century, ca. 40,000 women were killed as witches, often by burning at the stake. (The latest well-known witch trials in an industrialised or developed Western country were those at Salem, Massachusetts in 1692.)
In Jharkand, five hundred cases of witch hunts were reported in the 1990s, and they continue to occur. The State ratified an Anti Witch-hunting Law, resulting in 400 arrests since 2000. The journalist Sohaila Kapur - author of "Witchcraft in Western India" followed one headline-grabbing witchcraft killing for National Geographic TV Channel. A teenager, Gurudas Mardi took the severed head of his aunt Maina Mardi to the police station, having cut off her head while she was grazing cattle in her field. The reason he gave was that his eldest brother had contracted a fever and died within one day, his father had died within three years and his elder brother was currently ill in hospital with the same symptoms. Gurudas believed his brother would be cured due to his having killed his aunt as a witch. However, all agreed that Maina had long been as a mother to him. Gurudas was condemned for murder and is currently serving in Ghatasila prison in Jharkand.

There were 7 such cases in Jharkand in as many years. Most accused 'witches' are widows. Mostly, others benefit from their deaths or banishment from their home and property. Part of the witchcraft rationale is that, if prayers can heal at a distance, so can they also harm from afar. The belief in black magic is backed up by practitioners of it, such as - in this case - the Tantric 'guru' Baba Ramashankar of the popular Kali temple at Kamakilija. National Geographic filmed the 'guru' and three female disciples carrying our sacrifice rituals so as to obtain magical powers, including biting the head off a live chicken. The death spells they cast involved use of snakes and scorpions too. The 'guru' stated that the spells can cause love, hate and confusion.

Sohaila Kapur did a follow-up investigation on the deaths in the family which Gurudas Mardi believed due to his aunt's witchcraft. His remaining brother survived due to hospital treatment for TB. The doctor testified that both the father had died from tuberculosis and had infected Gurudas' two brothers.

Further, Sohaila Kapur filmed the local female witch doctor who Gurudas' family had approached and who had pointed the finger at Maina for witchcraft holding a trial in the village temple. While so doing Kapur was approached by a distraught man whose mother was about to be pointed out condemned as a witch by a same witch doctor in the village temple. A big local landowner's daughter was ill and many medicines had failed, so witchcraft was suspected. Because of the TV cameras, the priest dared not to make the announcement that the person was a witch and the villagers backed her up. Instead the witch doctor directed for a tree to be blighted and predicted it would die within two weeks. Of course, no effects on the tree were visible weeks later.

Black magic curses owls

New Delhi, Jan. 28: Superstition and black magic are threatening owls in India.

A six-month study of barn owls by a zoologist at the Maharaja Sayajirao University Baroda has revealed what he says is a uniform pattern of unnatural injuries that point to intentional twisting and breaking of wings.

“These injuries appear to have been deliberately inflicted by human hands,” said Ranjitsinh Devkar, assistant professor of avian biology at the M S University. In a collaborative study with the Gujarat forest department and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Devkar detected 30 birds in the city of Baroda, each one of them with a serious injury to a single wing.

A close examination showed that in each bird, the wing appeared to have been twisted to snap the humerus-radioulna joint, a bone on the wing. “The severity of the injury varied which would be expected if it’s done by human hands,” Devkar told The Telegraph.

Anecdotal accounts from veterinarians suggest owls with similar injuries have been observed in Indore, Mumbai and Ahmedabad, he said.

Staff at the Van Chetna Centre, a veterinarian clinic in Baroda, deliver first aid to the birds, applying antiseptic to wounds, trimming the feathers to lighten the load on the damaged joint to allow it to heal faster, and protecting them in enclosures.

Devkar has presented the findings in the journal Current Science, published by the Indian Academy of Sciences.

The dates of rescue overlapped with the Indian lunar calender. Nineteen of the 30 injured owls were picked up within three days of a new moon. This, he said, is a strong indicator that the injuries had to do with black magic practices.

“I’m not surprised at all,” said Girish Jathar, programme officer, Centre for Environment Education, Ahmedabad. “Owls have been victims of superstition that persists among tribals even today.”

Jathar, who has completed a doctorate in spotted forest owlets, recalled that he had observed owl wings and legs for sale in tribal fairs. His socio-economic study had suggested that 73 per cent of a sample of tribal people at Nandurbar in Maharastra believe that “owls feed on human souls”.

“There’s a widespread superstition here that killing a young owl boosts fertility,” Jathar told The Telegraph.

In one tribal fair in a hill station called Toranmal in Maharashtra, he had observed a woman selling owl legs for Rs 100 a pair, and the dry body of an eagle owl for Rs 350.

The Magic Color Of Life

Black Magic and White Magic are two opposite poles in the universe of attitudes that humans can have toward Life. In actual human behavior, in actual human beliefs, religions and discourses, within the complexity of any single person's mind, the two opposite attitudes may be simultaneously present, and their many instances interwoven, combined, and blended. The reality of human behavior oscillates between these two extremes, and more often than not yield shades of gray. But this gray doesn't mean that black and white do not exist: the very notion of shades of gray presupposes that black and white exist, that they can be separated and that you can be closer to one than to the other.

Separating white from black is not easy. Indeed, aspects are simultaneously present in traditional cultures and religions; the very same words will contain several meanings with radically different colors; and most people will conflate these meanings into a vague confuse concept that prevents them from distinguishing the opposition between those meanings. Thus, confused or deceiving people will often resort to patterns of thoughts that jump from one meaning to the other without most listeners noticing the mistake or fraud. And this permanent confusion is no sheer bad luck: Black Magic systematically develops deceitful appearances: it will impersonate white magic so as to claim its creations and thus to usurp power and legitimacy. Black magicians, the great destructors who dominate society, will dress in white, and claim to be great creators, whereas they will dress in black the enslaved white magicians who actually create.

Thus, people who believe what they are taught by schools and mass media will often have an inverted idea of what is white magic and what is black magic, of who is being exploited and who is exploiting, of what are the principles of creation, and what are the principles of destruction. The more gullible people will indeed invert black and white on a wide area of issues, wherever the official propaganda is efficient. Less gullible people will be confused into seeing gray everywhere. Of course, people find it usually obvious to distinguish what is constructive and what is destructive when it concerns themselves directly, so that the black magic propaganda can seldom deceive people regarding their immediate self-interest; but it can deceive them regarding their long-term self-interest, and regarding the self-interest of those people they don't know well. It inverts the long-range moral vision of gullible people, and induces moral myopia in less gullible people. This inversion causes a lot of confusion; it creates for each believer an intermediate area where everything is blurry or self-contradictory, between their correct short-range understanding and their inverted long-range understanding; this in turn induces a feeling of absurdity about life. In the end, this leads to a form of schizophrenia among those who accept theories too far from everyday practice , to self-destruction by those who will not adopt practices opposite to their theories; and to atrophy of the minds of those who seek to avoid mental conflict by rejecting theory altogether.

So as to understand the world, we must learn thus to untangle the tree of white magic from the parasite lianes of black magic that surround it. So as to assess the effects of various attitudes and deeds, we must examine the respective influences of Black Magic and White Magic in human behavior. Black magic always wins in appearance; you will always see it dominate the established institutions, glorified by formal rites and astonishing shows. But it is white magic that actually makes the world go round, even if it requires discernment to see that. Black magicians are expert in wishful thinking, idle imprecation, and deception of themselves and other people; but only through the dedicated work of white magicians does the world actually progress. All creation stems from the principles of white magic. White magic serves as the basis for civilization itself. And Black Magic itself can survive but as a parasite to White Magic, — for if there is no creation, there soon remains nothing left to destroy.

Black Magic vs. White Magic in Shakespeare’s The Tempest

“A man who governs his passions is “truly wise”…. The heavens have not seen nor has the earth borne a more glorious person than the man who always obeys reason. Not all the crowns of the world can adorn his head fittingly; only eternity can recompense one of such high virtue. To have a quiet soul is the only pleasure of the world” (Anderson 173-4).

Where is the line drawn between good and bad magic? Who decides which form of magic is evil and which is not. Why was there a Glenda the good witch and the wicked witch of the west (Wizard of Oz)? According to Robert S. Ellwood,

Magic is widely practiced in primal and traditional societies. In such contexts magic is not simply a pre-scientific way of attaining practical ends- it may also involve at least a partial symbolic recognition of the society’s spiritual worldview and of its gods and myths. In this respect magic often merges with religion, and indeed the line between the two is frequently blurred (Ellwood, Encarta).

Prospero definitely exposes the gray area between religion and his magic. He realizes that if he unleashed the storm, giving his brother and the ship’s crew the idea that they would perish, the fear and despair that Prospero felt upon first embarking the island would be felt. Prospero teaches his brother a subconscious lesson at sea. Prospero was scholarly, but magic surpasses book smarts, it requires a sense of society, the people that the magic would affect. It is also figuring how they could be effected, a manipulation of sorts to employ the correct means of magic, “magic attempts to affect the future, not merely to predict it (Ellwood, Encarta).

Black magic [wicked witch of the west] is typically used as a negative force, and White magic [Glenda the good witch] is used in a positive manner. “Prospero’s magic is White magic, not Black. He summons up no evil spirits, makes no compact with the devil, and does not jeopardize his soul. The forces he commands are these of nature…. (Smith 5).Because Prospero was so into books, the idea of science and nature as magic is more of an exploration of power than a malicious intent to destroy. Prospero induced the natural course of nature, a far more successful form of revenge because it is unpredictable, (like nature often is). He did not used man made tools like daggers or other hardware to kill, showing a significant sign of mercy towards the ship.

Magic is often confused with witchcraft, especially in the history of European religions. Modern anthropologists, however make the useful distinction between magic as the manipulation of an external power by mechanical or behavioral means to affect others, and witchcraft as an inherent personal quality to the same ends….Divination, the skill of understanding mystical agents that affect people and events, should be distinguished from magic in that its purpose is not to influence events but rather to understand them (Encyclopedia Britannica, 302).

What is important to recognize with the analogy of a ‘Divine Prospero’ is to know that Prospero is not made out to BE a Jesus. It is the essence of Jesus’ philosophy that is apparent in Prospero’s character, ”Jesus is not finally to be equated with Shakespeare’s saintly persons; rather in him we find a blending of saintly peace and universal assurance with the unrestful propulsive quality of Eros”(Knight 73).

A Brief Overview Of Black Magic

We explore the magical world of the dark arts and see how black magic is still practiced in the modern world ...

Mention the words "black magic" and images of bloody rituals and voodoo dolls come to mind - and for good reason! It is strongly associated with Satan and was thought to be practiced by witches who had made pacts with the devil during the Salem witch trials of 1692. This form of sorcery was believed to create toil and trouble for unsuspecting victims. In this article, we'll explore the magical world of the dark arts and see how it's still practiced in the modern world.

The existence of black magic can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians and Persians, but the practice was most predominant in the Middle Ages. Regardless of the desired outcome, the procedure usually included profanation of Christian rites, complete with evil masses to worship animals and reptiles. Some of these rites were soaked in blood. Animals and even young children were often used as sacrifices and orgiastic dances were performed.

For believers, practicing black magic or being the recipient of an evil spell, hex or other form of harm is very real. Black magic is used to call forth the powers of darkness and evil in an attempt to control natural forces through the use of spells, incantations and other means. Its counter force, white magic, is not thought to cause harm to others but uses the same methods. Black magic is also still practiced in many traditional cultural groups around the world including voodoo practitioners in the United States.

Thaumaturgy, sympathetic magic, and divination are all forms of black magic. Thaumaturgy is the act of miracle working and is commonly used for giving blessings, performing magical healing and in curses. Sympathetic magic is based on the principle of "like producing like." It's most common representation is the voodoo doll. Divination is used by fortunetellers in a variety of unusual methods. Cards, bones, the entrails of animals, runes and the stars and planets are all utilized by individuals attempting to glimpse into the future..

Countless men, women and children are believed to have fallen victim to the powers of black magic. The magic prowess of witches and shamans were once blamed for common diseases and mental illness. Dark magic was combated with amulets, talismans, herbs, incantations and even exorcisms. There are many people today who still believe in the magical world of curses and use magic to try to destroy their enemies.

What is Your Vampire Personality?

It’s not true that vampires have no heart, says Lapin, author of The Vampire, Dracula, and Incest. "A vampire has a heart, but it is imploded [psychologically]," he says. That's the origin of a vampire's need to suck blood.

"Vampires may have a psychological need to control others," says Barbara Almond, MD, a Palo Alto, Calif., psychiatrist and psychoanalyst at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. Vampirism could represent a fantasy – whether it’s a Halloween costume or a state of being. "The fantasy would be taking over and controlling others by bleeding them."

Vampire in Guadalajara Mexico

The story is told that long ago there was a vampire ghost who stalked the countryside of Guadalajara in the early 19th century. Livestock and newborn babies were attacked in the middle of the night and all of their blood was drained from their lifeless bodies. The local citizens were on alert and during the dark hours of early morning a man was seen skulking back into his house after another reported attack of El Vampiro. A mob was formed and they burst into his house and killed him while he lay in his bed. A crude wooden stake was driven through his heart and he was buried unceremoniously in El Panteon de Belen. The stick was fed by his preternatural blood and soon it grew into a massive tree that burst open the tomb of El Vampiro. Legend has it that if you cut a limb from the tree you will see blood mingled with the sap ooze from the stump. An old prophecy claims that one the tree completely overgrows the grave and pushes the coffin up to the ground, El Vampiro ghost will be free to rise again and take his revenge upon the citizens of Guadalajara.

his story fascinated and frightened Maria, and she would often stare at the opened hole of the crypt of El Vampiro ghost whenever she visited the cemetery. Sometimes she was sure she thought something moved in the shadows, but her mother told her that her imagination was overactive from watching too many movies on television. But as she grew, the fascination with the crypt and the certainty that something was moving in its stygian darkness motivated her to visit the grave more frequently.

When she was 11 she her curiosity about the site was peaked and she decided to investigate the grave up close without anyone to bother her. After her parents had gone to bed she snuck out of the house after midnight and stealthfully walked the busy streets of Guadalajara and climbed the walls of El Panteon de Belen. The caretaker was usually guarding the grounds with his dog but luckily for her they had retreated to some location or another and she was not harassed as she made her way through the moldy and decaying crypts to the great tree. When she arrived at the grave of El Vampiro ghost she stood undecided for a few moments as fear gripped her heart, but she then cast these feelings aside and boldly skirted the makeshift fence that was erected to keep out the curious and vandals during normal visiting hours.

The cracked top of the crypt seemed like a bottomless pit as she carefully crawled toward it. She saw no movement now, only a gaping black pit where nothing was discernable. Fear once again seized her heart, but she once again pushed these emotions aside and moved on with sheer determination.

She let her legs drop down into the hole and took out the small candle and lighter that she had tucked away in her dress pockets. With a quick flick she lit the wick and the small illumination gave her just enough light to find a footing in the crypt. She lowered herself down only to find herself in a cramped oblong tomb not much larger than the metal casket she stood upon. There was just enough head room for her to slouch while on her knees as she beheld the old iron casket in the dim light. The metal was thin and very rusty, and it seemed to give a little as she distributed her weight on its lid. There was some writing on the lid at the head and she scooted herself to get a closer look. When she did so the metal began to buckle and flake as the corroded metal gave way and a small hole began to form at her knee no bigger than a baseball. She shifted her weight away and leaned to read the writing, but it was too rusted and the lighting too dim for her to distinguish what the old lettering actually said.

It was then she felt something touch her leg.

It was ghost that was coming out of the coffin.

She screamed and bumped her head on the inner lid of the crypt, but the daze that overcame her did not prevent her from quickly making her way out of the crypt’s hole with remarkable speed.

She ran all the way home, and it was not until she opened the door did she see the blood.

It was trickling down her arm from a cut on the top of her head, and she had bled so much that the top half of her dress was a crimson stain. She managed to sneak in her house undetected and quickly disrobed and washed the cut on her head, luckily it did not seem that bad and the blood had stopped flowing. Her hair would hide it as it healed, and she washed her dress in the sink to hide all evidence of her nightly excursion.

She did not sleep at all that night though, for at every slight sound in the night or movement on the street outside of her window she was brought back to the terror she experienced in the crypt. She was sure El Vampiro was after her. After all, not only did something come out of the coffin and touched her, she had bled in the vampire’s crypt. Surely once he tasted her blood he would want more.

She felt sick the following day partially because of the lack of sleep and partially because of the throbbing headache she felt from the wound on her head. But she did her household chores without complaining or telling her parents what had transpired the night before. And even though exhausted from the previous night without sleep and a full day of work, that evening she could not rest but instead lay rocking in her bed for hours fearful of the thing in the crypt. Finally she succumbed to exhaustion and fitfully fell into a half wakeful slumber. She awoke to see a dark figure standing over her bed. It was a tall man with no discernable features who just stood there watching. Maria screamed and her parents ran to her bedside.

For two nights the mother slept in the room and even though she slept soundly the girl seemed to weaken. The wound also refused to heal. The doctor had no idea why the wound would seem to heal during the day but reopen during the night. Maria was adamant that it was the work of the vampire ghost that attacked her, but her parents just regarded this as foolishness. That all changed on the third night after Maria’s fateful excursion. The mother sat with Maria for a while, until she fell off to sleep. Then she made herself ready to retire into her bedroom, but first stopped in the bathroom to freshen up before bed. On her way to her bedroom she quickly checked on Maria. Peering through the half opened door she saw her daughter lying asleep in bed and what looked to be a man standing over her in the darkness. She screamed for her husband and burst the door open and in the half second before the specter disappeared she swore she saw at look up at her with glowing eyes of fire. And once again the wound on Maria’s head was bleeding. The family was now convinced they were dealing with no normal wound, but they had no idea what to do.

While Maria’s family was not religious, Maria’s grandmother was a stout Pentecostal and she asked her minister for help. Although he had no formal training in such matters he did believe in the supernatural powers of darkness and decided to help anyway he could. Rev. Guivez visited with the family one night and talked at length with Maria. He anointed the wound with oil and prayed over her and the family in her bedroom. Immediately a porcelain doll flew off a nearby shelf and crashed into the wall just above the Reverend’s head. The minister was shaken up but still having his wits about him immediately demanded that the activity cease and the entity that was appearing and causing the harm to the girl immediately leave the room. Within seconds the room became cold and a mist began to swirl next to Maria. Every person there swore it looked like it was taking the shape of a man. Reverend Guivez immediately invoked the name of Christ and demanded that it cease and desist, and to his surprise the mist began to fade. With new found authority he demanded again that the ghost entity leave the house immediately; and suddenly they heard the house cat in the next room screech in terror. The father turned to see it run frantically around the house as if insane and then jumped out an open window, and into the heavy traffic of Nardo street. It was run over and killed instantly.

The apparitions stopped and within a few days Maria’s wound began to heal for good. She never again went to El Panteon de Belen, not even to celebrate the day of the dead. She grew up to be a well adjusted young woman with a fantastic story to tell. After everyone in the church and the neighborhood heard of Maria’s tale, Reverend Guivez soon was called to many people and places where spiritual deliverance was needed. He quickly found himself doing more exorcism than marriages in his ministry at the Pentecostal church.

According to the e-mail that I received from which this story comes, the tree over El Vampiro’s crypt was cut down . Only a stump remains. There was no blood as they took the saw to the old wood. But that has not stopped the stories of El Vampiro’s hauntings. To this day his crypt has a vast hole on the top beckoning visitors to El Panteon de Belen to come in for a closer look.

If you visit this ghost cemetery in Guadalajara, do not be tempted to explore the crypt yourself.

You never know what you might find.

A Human hull transformed into an everlasting prince of the night, a Vampire. So much is gained, but not without loss.

One with so many powers is now powerless to gaze into simple looking glass. What does this malaise represent? Not turning back? A relese from mankind, yet the need for he mankind, in order to survive?

Do YOU believe in Ghosts? Do you think we, who do, are weird or strange? Read on and you might just assent to our belief.

We, who believe--not necessarily psychics--know there are many unsolved mysteries in this world. Those who don't believe, say there are no such things as ghosts, spirits, demons, vampires, haunting and so on, but rather strangely, will likely never agree to sleep alone in a graveyard at night. And some, are even paranoid of the dark. What gives?

Well, I hope you will give me and my fellow believers a chance to convince you about the "cosmic unknown".

Since you are still here, good, at least you are curious. Or maybe, there is more to your curiosity than you care to admit - please share with us if you dare.

Is Someone Using Black Magic On You?

Due to jealousy, heart burning or some base cause, the Tantriks use cheap tactics to overcome the adversaries, which ruins one's life. Are you also under such a spell?

We must have peace and happiness in life, and to achieve the same we work hard. But we do not get in return to the proportions of our labour.

We get very little even after the best of our efforts, we toil to get success in our business but the profits are too little. We do not want any discontentment or discord in our family life, but inspite of our best efforts, the peace and tranquility of our family is disturbed.

On the other hand people work very little, but get too much in return. Businessmen have ample wealth just be putting in little efforts, bit we are disappointed even after continuous efforts. It leads us to conclude, that there are some evil forces which make our strategies unsuccessful.

Tantrik Prayog : Major Causes

Whenever you face such situations, feel assured that someone has used Black Magic on you, as a result of which all your efforts become ineffective.

Though such prayog is not easy, but some Tantriks expertise in it and torture innocent souls at the behest of selfish and greedy people. Such Tantriks have made Black Magic their profession, and use it on others indiscriminately at the behest of their adversaries, to mint money. Thus the happy life of the people is spoiled.

Such so-called Black-Magicians, no doubt can harm others, but they do not possess the powers to counter such Tantrik moves. As a result the victim keeps on suffering and sometimes it leads to the death of the victim. It is in fact very easy to cause harm through Tantra, but very difficult to amend the damage done. In order to learn the art of saving, one has to undergo Sadhna and Siddhi, and only a Tantrik of high caliber can do so.
