Mexico
From my experience, I wondered whether Pakistan was the only place where people blamed everything on black magic and made a habit of regularly visiting amils to solve their problems. I was surprised to discover this was not the case; people in other parts of the world also have similar beliefs. The following video reveals that in Mexico, the belief in magic and witchcraft is very common. The market mentioned does not only sells objects to be used in black magic but also provides services such as casting spells and removing bad spirits.
Pakistan
There is a striking similarity between this video and the one below (in Urdu) shot in Pakistan. In both there appears to be a place designated for burying black magic spells and the objects are burned to eradicate their harmful effects.
Africa
Black magic called juju in Africa is very prevalent. According to information posted on a forum from Africa, the belief is that a person has to be sacrificed in order for their blood to be converted into money. Many people have sacrificed their wives and children in order to make money and become rich. I agree with another person on this forum who states that it's a tool to fool people who are superstitious and a method of making money by people who are clever enough to fool others. It's also sad to see that people value money more than their own children.

Black magic is evil, exists for evil purposes and is practiced by evil people.
ReplyDeleteIt's something you see in horror films. I've never considered it as part of my life and it's never affected me in any way. It's a mystery to me as to why people believe and practice such things anyway. Boredom perhaps.
