Witchcraftism and ‘Black Magic’—The Biggest Scam


There has been, in this overly concentrated life—a need to find solutions to mounting problems as if life isn’t any fairer. And what do people do, or turn to in trying to ‘get things at ease’. The idea of hiring a so called ‘black magician’ who allegedly has these special powers—gifts that could heal people, put ones misery to an end maybe.

But the reality, with me growing up in a society where superstition is already a driving factor—people so blindly lean on withcraftry in order to ‘just get better’. There is a growing need to find someone who will spill out a few magic words, shift a few papers and fix it all.

Humans seemed to have evolved on the foundation that these self-proclaimed artists know how to solve it all. But the reality, an exaggeration of the lie that has always leapt forward but people could never see.

I know a thing or so about these ‘black magicians’, but what I know most about them is that they are nothing more than a hoax, one that has been cleverly portrayed. There is no rationality to it, all but a bunch of people who will snatch money from the vulnerable, the already weeping who think there is just no, and will never be an end to their internal conflicts.

While some claim that miracles transpire instantaneously, an interim thought still needs to be active that will question everything that is going on. The human mind is such a thing, out of empty playgrounds, being told to dance with the cosmos, yet presented with a scenario which may look so real that nothing could challenge it.

But, as everything needs critical thinking, scrutinizing every act is pertinent for our kind—always will be!

These ‘black magicians’ don’t know a thing, but what makes them is at the very core of our societies. You see, one may hear of a person allegedly healing people with his so called powers, and the next day—hundreds have lined up at his doorstep, trying so hard to ‘fix’ their own lives.

But to the realization, we fail to recognize that everything that happens—reasoning has always stood out from everything. There isn’t a cup that cannot be reasoned with, but our own race which becomes so reliant on the very idea of wizardry that no one could challenge.

I have lived, and continually come across people who think they have these powers, but my conscience, the inhibition to think for myself has always dominated.

And the only trend that one may witness, these people are getting wealthier as they feed on the vulnerable. It is as if there were no substitute, and every bell that even rings will require an expert in ‘magic’ to solve it. The power never is, but it is us who give them the opportunity to accumulate on their scams, up to a point when it becomes impossible to deny.
