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.
