What types of Black Magic are there? Black Magic is sometimes known by other names such as Witchcraft, sorcery, Voodoo, Kala Jadu and devil worship. In the Western world many people know about Witchcraft, devil worship and Satanism and think of these practices as the dark occult. There is no doubt that some of the stories about witchcraft, which date back to the middle ages, are based solely on fear and superstition. However, even in the Western world today witchcraft is still practised, although there is a distinct difference between a white witch and a black witch. Voodoo is a very similar practice carried out mainly in West Africa, especially the Caribbean and is also evident in southern parts of the United States. Voodoo like many of the dark arts has its roots in religion, and plays to the tune of Satan or the devil. It is thought that Voodoo originated in Africa around 6000 years ago and so is well entrenched in history and culture. In almost all cultures and religions in the world there is a form of anti-religion or the opposite of what a religion stands for. It’s the classic good and evil scenario, which has been played out so many times in every walk of life. Black Magic, or by whatever name it is called, is just one aspect of a practice or belief that can be used to control or influence people. This influence affects people mentally at first then manifests itself into a physical affliction. Complex Black Magic spells can take time to remove completely There are generally two actual types of black Magic in terms of severity or complexity. The first one being a “one time” process. This is when a Black Magic spell or curse is cast in order to cause pain, suffering, discomfort and even ill-health. This is a “one off” spell that can be treated by a professional spiritual healer. The healer or psychic will perform certain rituals, which in time will remove all the effects of the curse leaving the victim to recover and lead a very normal life. In general this is the most common of all Black Magic spells. The more complex spell or curse is when someone is affected and then later re-infected with the spell. This is obviously being directed by someone who is determined to inflict the maximum of suffering by whatever means are possible. It is an ongoing process that leaves the victim weakened, fragile and could even prove fatal. In this case the psychic would have to perform a whole series of rituals in order to cure the victim. With such a powerful and continuous spell it obviously takes a lot more time for the rituals to work. The victim will need to consult with the psychic over several sessions in order to monitor progress and to allow the psychic to determine whether the spell is weakening or getting stronger. If the spell is difficult to remove then it becomes a personal battle between the evil Black Magic practitioner and the psychic who is trying to remove the curse. It becomes a battle of wits.
