Do All Religions Practice Witchcraft? by Fabrepass(m): 8:45am On Sep 03, 2015 |
This article is very long, read carefully before you comment. do not react to the headline. I believe it is worth sharing. Invite those who are experts on religious issues and let us roll together. ALL RELIGIONS PRACTICE WITCHCRAFT - PAGANISM IS THE ONLY ACCESS TO GOD (Part 1) By NAIWU OSAHON [b]There is too much religion in the developing world right now, too much pre-occupation with spiritually false and ineffective money spinning religious enterprises of con-artists, especially in the helpless African world of abject poverty and ignorance; resulting in the colossal loss or waste of precious and productive energy and time that all of mankind could have jointly harnessed to move civilization significantly forward. We spend the better part of the day and several vigil nights weekly, on our knees or butts praying endlessly and tirelessly to no avail because that is not how spirituality works. We are the most wretched people on earth. Our society is riddled with unmitigating violence; entrenching culture of dare-devil robbery and filthy and shameless corruption; dearth of basic infrastructure and degrading, decaying, primitive unnurturing, unfulfilling environment, because we are applying spirituality wrongly and we are not using our heads. We are wasting too much time on our knees instead of on our feet to work.[/b] Praying in the name of any God is not enough. If humans, who do not live in the same house or the same street or the same town or country, want to talk to each other, they do not begin to pray or shout or use loudspeakers in their rooms or churches or mosques and expect the other to hear them miles away; they use the telephone. Does it even make sense or show respect that you should be shouting in the name or presence of your God or Gods, unless they are deaf? That could be a reason they are not responding. Witchcraft is the telephone link with the Gods and the spirit world. The only link, and it is the highest level of science for man. How to effectively use it to engage the Gods is one of the greatest secrets of the ages. The secret is kept from most of mankind because such power could be misused in the wrong hands. To engage a God or deity to respond to you, you must do a number of things pleasing to the God. You must first knock (and knocking entails giving up something dear to the seeker of favours); and receive the response to enter the realm of the deity in question, before making your requests in form of praying or crying. To enter the computer Internet, for instance, we first switch on the electricity mains, then the computer, then the communication gadget to engage some special engines (or facilitators) such as Yahoo, Hotmail, Excel, Google and so on. These engines are the energizers of the Gods or deities such as Maat, Sango, Olokun, Yahweh etc. Surfing on the computer Internet to check out websites and send e-mails, is the equivalence of praying, meditating, asking, begging, wishing and crying. The practical activities of getting on, sending and receiving messages on the Internet, equate with witchcraft. Witchcraft is the Spiritual Internet link and information and action processing catalyst of human interaction with the Gods. All organized religions deceive followers that witchcraft is all evil but the elite of these religions are soaked in the practice. It is impossible to engage the Gods without some formalities that involve abstinence, meditation, fasting and ritual sacrifices. Sacrifices are paramount and sometimes include blood of some sort and so on. Christ was supposed to have sacrificed his blood for mankind so his devotees make a meal of his flesh and blood with bread and wine in communion. Another lie by modern religions is their claim to worship only one God. What the Christian and Islamic religions did was to pick Yahweh from the ten Jewish intermediary gods and substitute the remaining nine: Hokhmah, Binah, Hesed, Gevurah, Tifereth, Netsah, Hod, Yesod and Malkuth with Jesus, Muhammad, dozens of Saints, Anubis, Angels etc. Yahweh is only one of the ten Jewish attributes of En-Sof. Yahweh is a tribal deity and claims to hate Africans and others (i.e. Amorites, Philistines, Canaanites, Jebusites, Hittites). He threatened to wipe all of us off the face of the earth for his children, the Israelites. So, when someone tells you ‘God bless you,’ be weary and ask which God, which deity? It is important for all religious people, particularly African Christians and Muslims, to understand this. Yahweh is a Jewish tribal god and not the ultimate source of spirituality, which is Tu-SoS or the Jewish En-Sof. Tu-SoS (The ultimate Source of Spirituality), or En-Sof (in Judaism), is not a God or spirit but an energy source and is not worshipped anywhere in the world. Modern Africans, like their ancestors, do not worship Tu-SoS, which they variously call Olodumare, Osanobua, Chukwu. The Jews too do not worship En-Sof. The Jews, like the Africans, worship the intermediary Gods. African ancestors created all the initial intermediary Gods and Deities known to man. African ancient intermediary Gods include El, Thoth, Auser, Auset, Heru, Maat, Anubis etc., and in modern times, names such as Sango, the God of lightening, masculinity, fearlessness and hard work; Olokun, the Goddess of beauty, arts, culture, poetry, love, marriage, femininity and fertility; Orunmila, the God of wisdom, scholarship and learning; Obatala, the God of creativity and Ogun, the God of Iron and technology. The secondary intermediary gods or deities include Yahweh and the other Jewish adaptations of the original African intermediary Gods, and the ethnic gods and goddesses with a variety of names around the world today: Apollo, Venus, Jupiter, Adonis, Minerva, Diana, Brahman etc. The adapted gods and goddesses are not as spiritually potent as the original African spiritual Gods. If you go to any of the original, undiluted, African spiritual Gods, such as Sango, to make a request, the deity or Sango, would give you conditions to fulfill there and then. You would not have to go home and come back for Sango’s response, and if you meet the conditions set, Sango would oblige you with your request. It is as simple as that and it could happen within minutes of your request. If, on the other hand, you go to the diluted or adapted spiritual Gods like the Christian and Islamic Yahweh, to table a request, you don’t get an answer right away. In fact, you could be talking to a brick wall. You keep praying, begging, and fasting, hoping that someone is listening. A good example of this is the Irish priest who assembled a dozen barren, middle-aged, married women and passed six of them on to Baba-maven to use his witchcraft to alter their faith while he prayed for the other six. The priest decided the choice of candidates and allocated them. After six weeks of the experiment, five of Baba’s six candidates were pregnant for their husbands while the six the priest prayed and fasted intensely and fervently for, remained barren. If by any chance something favourable eventually happens, perhaps months or even years after you first made your request to Yahweh or the other secondary gods, you give the credit (or glory as it is often claimed), to Yahweh. But when a tsunami happens in your life, you blame your sinful self or the devil and not Yahweh for it. Your relationship with Yahweh is based purely on chance, and that is not how spirituality works. Spirituality can be asked and even commanded to make things happen although often at a price. Apart from being undiluted, African spirituality is more powerful than the rest because it relies totally on natural elements relevant and pleasing to the Gods. Artificial substitutes such as the bible, bread, wine, crosses, as means of reaching out to the spirit world, do not work, only natural elements such as animal blood or flesh, leaves or barks of plants, oils, etc., which the Gods recognize, work. The Pope, who claims to represent Christ on earth, would like to be able to perform miracles (which many African priests take for granted), if he knew how. The Mother-in-Israel, Pastor Folu Adeboye, wife of the founder and Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, in admitting the supremacy of Paganism, was quoted in the Guardian newspaper, Nigeria, of July 26, 2009, as follows: “As powerful as African Juju priests are, none of them possess the power to keep the night and stop the morning from coming.” But Paganism is not in competition with the ‘Source’ of spirituality; it is the only access to the ‘Source,’ or ‘God.’ Paganism can becloud the early morning sun to make the night drag longer but cannot stop ‘time. ’God’ cannot stop time either. The bad connotation given to the witch or witches, gives witchcraft its ugly meaning because witches are not necessarily all evil people. They could be white witches or geniuses in any given profession. It is the sorcerers or red and black witches and the demon diviner/doctors that are always evil, and they unfortunately predominate in evil witchcraft. Witchcraft incorporates all spiritual and religious activities including praying, telepathy, meditation, magic, clairvoyance, fasting, rituals and sacrifices. Priests, doctors, parapsychologists, traditional healers, diviners, magicians, astrologists, card readers, star gazers, palmists, heruspex practitioners, alchemists, Alfas, herbalists etc., are not necessarily all sorcerers or sorceresses, but could be experts or good witches and wizards in their various fields and practices. Witches are graded by colour, with white representing good witches and would never do evil; the red and black witches in all races are the wicked ones. They are the sorcerers, possessed by demonic spirits which they use to perpetrate their evil acts. They have no regards for family, friends and have no respectable, responsible attachments. They are invariably sadists, permanently angry, vindictive and at war with every one, and with society. Their sole preoccupation in life is to kill, maim and destroy, and from these they derive immense joy, satisfaction, and self-fulfillment. So, they deserve the public odium they have drawn to themselves. At the same time, the rest of us need to know that it is not witchcraft that is evil but the person (or witch) using it, or the use to which it is put. Witchcraft is like a knife and depends on the user. It is the highest level of science possible; human’s only link with the spirit world; the sacred telephone link with all the Gods; the one single source of spiritual power and miracles, and it has not been fully explored positively by man. All religions practice it albeit artificially, with varying results. We, therefore, have no reason to be so categorically dismissive or judgmental about witchcraft. We do not know enough about it yet anyway. Most of us do not know why or how it works, and it works for both good and evil, there is no doubt about that, and we are all involved in it through prayers, wishing, thanksgiving and self-sacrifices, at least. When we use it for good, we do not tell others about it but when it is used for evil against us, we scream to the high heavens. |
Re: Do All Religions Practice Witchcraft? by Fabrepass(m): 8:46am On Sep 03, 2015 |
The spirit world is enveloped in electromagnetism that connects with our spirit doubles and all other realities. Universal laws govern the realities and man is capable of transcending all of them. That is what spiritual evolution is about. It is the knowledge of these subtle realities and how to harness them for spiritual advancement that ancient Africans chiselled into the fine art used largely today by the Jews and secret societies to remain on top of the world. Egyptian-Nubians perfected the craft to an art and used it positively to launch the world into her merry ways of civilization. Thoth’s alchemy produced the long stream of African leaders, seers and priests who pioneered learning and civilization until the Mystery System of Egypt was finally outlawed by the Romans in 6 CE. The modern version of Thoth’s alchemy is a poor imitation of the original and yet it continues to produce outstanding results particularly among secret society members, and the mystery religions of Asia and the rest of the world. The only system close to Thoth’s alchemic programme is kabbalism. This is why the Jews are the most successful group of people today in the world followed by members of the secret societies. After the banning of the Egyptian Mystery System, twenty-two tablets of the System along with other invaluable documents and secrets of ancient Africans fell into British hands. Today these unique secrets of the world are kept in private volts of the British monarch and the Royal Library at Windsor Castles. The earliest of the secret societies set up, were the Brotherhood of the Snake and the Brotherhood of the Dragon, both of which still exist around the world. Other well known secret societies today include: the Order of the Quest, the JASON Society, the Roshaniya, the Qabbalah, the Knights Templar, the brotherhood of the Himalayas, the Egyptian Trismegistus, the Knights of Malta, the Knights of Columbus, the Jesuits, the Masons, the Ancient and Mystical order of Rosae Crusis (or the Rosicrucians), the Illuminati, the Nazi Party, the Communist Party, the Executive Members of the Council of Foreign Relations (USA), the Group, the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Britain), the Trilateral Commission, the Open Friendly Secret Society (the Vatican), the Scroll and Key, the Order, the P2 Lodge in Italy, the Priory de Sion, the Organization for a United Europe, etc. Paganism in celebration of Nature, Mother Earth, Mother Nature and the feminine cult, were absorbed by the secret societies. Stories about chivalric quests for the lost Grail were actually legends of forbidden quests to find the lost sacred feminine. Knights who claimed to be searching for the Chalice where speaking in tongues to protect themselves from a Church that had marginalized women, banished goddesses, buried Christian non-believers and destroyed Pagans’ reverence for the sacred feminine. The feminine cult, man’s first and most revered deity was symbolized by the blossoming flower imaging the female Instruments. The blossoming flower is epitomized by the Rose, which ties to the five-pointed pentacle of Auset (Isis), the Mother of femininity. Rose is the anagram of Eros, the Greek God of sexual love. The five petals represent the five stations of female life: birth, menstruation, motherhood, menopause and death. Other relics of femininity absorbed by the secret societies include: Delphi’s labrys axes, sistrum rattles used in ancient Egypt to dispel evil spirits, Tjet ankhs resembling small standing angels, gold caducei wands, statues depicting Horus being nursed by the goddess Isis. The secret societies believe that the masses of the world are immature minds that need to be led like a bunch of animals or like sheep led by the shepherd. While the able intellect learns the Mysteries or the esoteric truths (advanced witchcraft), the masses are taught literal or exotic interpretations of reality. In other words, the masses worship the five senses, while the select few use their superior intellect (the sixth sense), to manipulate and dominate even their followers. The initiated elite of these societies communicates directly with deities (through witchcraft), who communicate back with them while the rest of mankind worship symbols that can neither speak nor hear. The elect are illuminated with the knowledge of the African Mysteries and are known as the Illuminati or the illuminated Ones, or the Guardians of the Secrets of the Ages. Judaism and the Secret Societies’ gains proved to be African loss because after the banning of the African religion by the Romans, Africans fought back by withdrawing almost totally into necromancy. As they got increasingly frustrated in their long painful unsuccessful efforts to liberate themselves, they began to turn the venom of their sorcery on each other. Slavery, colonialism, racism, neo-colonialism and the self-denigrating alien religions (particularly Christianity and Islam), further worsened their plight by reducing them largely to unquestioning, senseless, self-hating human species similar to those of the pre-Neanderthal era. Africans are a deeply spiritual people and their foreign faiths are too spiritually shallow, unbinding and dishonest to hold them in deep awe. Africans have no qualms about taking oaths on the Bible or the Koran, which they dare not do on a cutlass (Ogun deity symbol), for instance, because they see the Bible and the Koran as spiritually powerless even if they do not publicly admit this. They try to spiritualize their foreign faiths by lacing them with native flair, ethos and deep devotion. The individualism fostered by their deceitful, spiritually powerless, foreign religions (Islam and Christianity), has created a new, strange and peculiar breed of Africans, who thoroughly hate family, friends, and every body else. We have lost self-esteem and we are confused. We do not know our history, traditions, religions or where we want to go. We are in limbo because we are neither white nor black in orientation. In fact, we are no longer a family of thinking people, who love one another. Animals have better family cohesion than we now have. This largely is responsible for our lack of progress right now. Close relatives, friends and neighbours do not want each other’s progress. It does not matter what religion we profess, we are gradually becoming the most wicked group of people on earth. We destroy the most successful among us because our powerful religion intoxicates us. Many physical human problems and all spiritual ones are caused by people who hate, envy, or resent us. Such problems are traceable to someone close to us or someone who knows us casually or someone set up to hurt us. Even bad people we have no business with, can target us from hearing or knowing that others in their wicked world are targeting us. We incur the wrath and envy of close relatives, friends and neighbours, simply by buying a new car, or buying one better than theirs, or getting married, or having a new born baby, or acquiring a new home, or getting a job or promotion at work, or doing well in business, or looking happy and successful. Rather than engage in positive endeavours, siblings, parents, neighbours and supposed friends, busy themselves trying to annihilate the hard working ones among them. Some call it the pull down syndrome, it is assuming a terrifying dimension in our race, and it is the main reason we are the most backward people in the world today. Apart from these horrible people, we all have witches in our extended families whose only daily preoccupation is to maim, kill and destroy without just course. Some educated women and four in five of all illiterate women above the age of 40 tend to be witches or implacable sadists, potentially extremely diabolical. They live mostly in the villages or rural areas and mentor particularly, grand daughters (dealt bad faiths, as in early loss of parents, family hardship, being unable to go to school, or serving as their helping hands). Such children are often the house maids and wards, recruited by urban dwellers, so the den of evil thickens and spreads. Unfortunately also, our own secret societies, cults and shrines serve as burrows of sin and wickedness. Most of our very ‘best brains,’ ‘best achievers,’ are dead before their prime, from our envy. Those still alive are alive just. They find that they have to spend 95% of their valuable time, resources and acumen, trying to survive the evil machinations of relatives, friends, neighbours and even strangers, who do not want to do anything to help themselves. Imagine what that 95% of our time and resources could have done for all of us, had it been allowed to continue to flower? What negative people need to know is that the more people there are who succeed around us, the more the opportunities that are available to pull all of us up together. The increasingly unrelenting material stranglehold of spiritually powerless alien religions, coupled with acute poverty and deprivation, have in recent times heightened the culture of evil witchcraft in Africa and around the world. All manners of disagreeable projects seem to be raked up and you are told that if you scale through them unscarred paradise would crown your efforts. In a society where nothing works and most people have lost hope of ever making it, nothing is too scary, strange or difficult to try now and again. [b]Evil witchcraft does not entail deep spirituality nor does it adhere to the spiritual codes of not hurting those who have not hurt you, and loving humanity and nature. Evil witchcraft is dominated by charlatans with a little knowledge of magic, some expertise in human psychology and the conning of people; sorcerers (red and black witches), who exploit the innocent for personal gains and some priests, pastors, Alfas and low level rank and file traditional faith diviners, acting out of greed or hunger. They are all largely in communication with evil spiritual forces. Because of public persecution, evil witchcraft practitioners are forced to withdraw into secret groves for their rituals and to create terrifying mystic around themselves for protection and to intimidate their victims. Alternatively, they use church and mosque fronts to present neat, modern façades during the day, and at night the pastors and Alfas join their other colleagues in the weirdest form of witchcraft activities imaginable. They meet between 12 mid night and 3.00 am in spirit, to take decisions on matters that have been tabled before them by the living. They are involved in unwholesome, sometimes repulsive practices that tend to put the modern person off. The rituals are usually very demeaning and could involve bathing with or drinking animal or human blood, or shrines’ stagnant, dirty, worm infested water, exposed to the elements for years.[/b] It is barbaric and unnecessary, for instance, for practitioners to shed human blood, paint their faces with red and white chalk, or resort to smelly, unhygienic surroundings to perform spiritual rituals. Menstruating wastes sometimes serve as substitutes for human blood, but clean fresh human blood and body parts (particularly eyes, breasts, tongues, hearts, livers, kidneys, and male and female private organs) are the most sort after for the ultimate evil witchcraft rites. Apart from evil witchcraft usage of body parts, there is a booming export business to Europe and America for refrigerated human organs such as livers and kidneys and, of course, the extraterrestrial beings controlling us with witchcraft need our organs to sustain their race Almost everyday, these days, we read in the newspapers about ritual killings and innocent victims who have lost their eyes or private parts to people looking for pregnancies, long life or material fortunes. An average of two persons are declared missing in some urban cities in Nigeria daily. Many are probably not reported at all because the families of the missing persons lack access to the media. A kid going to school may never get there. A father who goes to work in the morning may fail to return home to his family in the evening. People travelling long distances in public transport between cities could be hijacked en-mass along the route and delivered to some remote jungle shrines where their heads are decapitated for ritual purposes. Even boarding commuter buses in the cities have become sometimes risky. The other passengers in the vehicle could be a gang of ritual killers. Many people are known to have disappeared this way or to be mugged and thrown out of moving vehicles. Not too long ago, an army officer who had boarded a public transport already carrying about a dozen passengers was overwhelmed and gagged on a lonely side of the route where his penis was cut off before being dumped on the roadside. He told his story at a clinic where some good Samaritans had rushed him bleeding profusely. He survived his ordeal for only a few days. So too was a young girl whose eyes had been plucked out by ritualists and left as dead at a deserted school premises some months earlier. The environment and circumstances in which evil witchcraft rituals take place often defy logic. There is this well documented 1998 case of a Mr. Clifford Orji who in every respect looked like he was off his rockers and was living in a marshy, not too accessible groove under a bridge, at the Toyota Bus Stop, on the Oshodi/Apapa Expressway in Lagos. He had been enticing victims particularly women and children to his hideout by promising them one thing or the other, including talisman. He ran out of luck when a woman by the name of Awawu, who he had administered his concoction to and taken for dead, (the woman died not too long after), suddenly started crying for help. Passers-by heard her cry and went to her rescue only to be assailed by a gory scene. Human bones and decomposing body parts littered the place in heaps among charms and intimidating witchcraft paraphernalia. Some of the parts had been roasted and there was a shallow pit reeking with human blood. The man had two mobile telephone lines at a time when such phones were luxuries in Nigeria. Police investigation revealed that he was not only a body parts merchant, he had clients in high places (which is why he needed the telephone lines), who relied on him for one charm or the other. The rumour was that his clients who were among the politically and financially powerful in society, tried to free him from police custody. He ended up at the Kirikiri maximum security prison, where he has been since, awaiting trial. Recently, we read in the newspapers that he had turned a born-again Christian evangelist in prison. Witchcraft, evil or not, is not peculiar to Africa. It is more secretive outside it that is all. It is practiced all over the world even by heads of states who regularly consult diviners before taking any action. President Ronald Reagan of America was known to regularly consult a soothsayer every morning before confronting decisions of the day. The husband of Britain’s one time Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, was known to be a leading member of the secret cult called the Smiths that to all intents and purposes rules Britain today. Many workers on the London Bridge died during its construction until the spirit of the body of water around the bridge was pacified. Every August since then, an elaborate ritual incorporating human sacrifice is secretly performed by a British cult group from a dead ship anchored at the mouth of the bridge. Covens of witches are still very active all over the world. In 1944, during the allied armies’ invasion of Europe, a Mrs. Helen Duncan, described as a spiritual medium, was sent to prison in Britain for activities connected with witchcraft. The prosecution drew caustic remarks from Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister at the time. The British Witchcraft Act was finally repealed in the 1950s. Children’s dolls today are the images of fallen ancient gods and nursery rhymes are laced with the sorcerers’ spell to induce calm and sleep. Cicero wrote a book on divination, which highlighted the significance of dreams, premonitions and the flight of birds as illustrating the purpose of the gods. A married German couple, Daniel Ruda and wife, showed no remorse when convicted in a German court in early January 2002, for the murder of their neighbour and friend, to perform a weird witchcraft ritual of a cult they belonged to. [b]The six and seven books of Moses are about simplified aspects of witchcraft in Kabbalism. The Israeli Seven-day war was won with severe witchcraft. The Rabbis kept busy, they called it divine luck. The Arabs suddenly stopped advancing, on the verge of overrunning Israel ten men to one, and with far superior weapons and conquered grounds. The breather provided the scared Jews the opportunity to infiltrate behind enemy lines in peach darkness to plant bombs. In fact, current societal progress and civilization would have been impossible without esoteric witchcraft because spirits often sensitize scholars to what to do and science and technology are the rudimentary stages of divine witchcraft. Modern communications utilize electromagnetism, as does witchcraft. Tapping into radio waves is witchcraft. Sending crafts to the Moon in defiance of gravity is witchcraft. All Chemists perform witchcraft by mixing chemicals (the same way witches mix their brews), to induce certain results including healing. Essentially, magic is an aspect of witchcraft but modern man tries to distinguish between entertainment witchcraft, which is called magic, and commercial (evil) witchcraft, which they ignorantly think is the same as divine witchcraft. When witchcraft generally is carried out by rainmakers, shamans, diviners and witch doctors today we frown but when priests, Alfas and scientists do the same thing we hail them as divine. [/b] The elite of modern religions do not see or call what they do witchcraft. It is God’s miracles, they say. Great crimes are being committed in the name of God in mosques and conventional churches. Imams and Pastors take advantage of the spiritual naiveté of their followers to intimidate and suppress them to collect tithes. There is the handkerchief racket you buy to wipe away your sins or the give me 40% of what you have and the Lord would multiply your fortune a hundred fold, preacher-swindlers. Tools of criminal activities are being blessed by some pastors at a price and Churches and Mosques often serve as sanctuaries for society’s miscreants. |

Witchcraft in Islam African Muslim clerics are more potent than their Arab counterparts because of the superior African spiritual power. A group of Islamic scholars I told that religion without witchcraft was no religion told me how their Alfa died when his home was bombed by a rival religious sect. Their deputy Alfa had to fortify himself with base witchcraft. It is normal or do I want him to be killed like a chicken, they asked? When the well-loved Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Bola Ige, was assassinated on December 23, 2001, the question on the lips of many Christian and Muslim Nigerians was why he did not reinforce police security with witchcraft from his village, Esa Oke? There are blood cuddling stories of dictators who took their bath with human blood regularly to ensure their permanent hold on power. Nigeria had, at least, two of such leaders of military extraction, who were of the Islamic faith. Since such leaders still lose power after a while or are killed in the process, the spiritual gifts garnered through the blood sacrifices would tend to be transient at best. In any case, there is always a price to pay for evil gifts, ranging from early death of the seeker, to the loss of life of a dear one or impotency etc. Witchcraft was planted on the land of a chap I knew. The idea being to scare him off his land or kill him. His staff, who did not believe in such things, dug up the contraption and threw it into a near-by bush. That evening, his right hand began to swell painfully and before long he was feeling like he was going to have a partial stroke on the left hand side of his body. The Imam invited to his rescue copied some verses from the Koran, and washed the writing into a cup for the patient to drink. Slowly, over a couple of days of continuing to drink the concoction, the swelling began to subside. But to permanently disconnect the witchcraft, which included cowries mounted on a piece of wood, a cock and a hen were sacrificed by the Imam who used the blood along with other objects and heavy incantations from the Koran. Obviously, some electromagnetic force had to be battled in the fierce encounter to release the patient from the grip of the witchcraft contraption. I stumbled on an elaborate witchcraft ritual one early morning in the compound of a Lebanese Muslim neighbour in Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria. Alfas, Imams and family members of the Lebanese were involved in the apparently solemn event that included the skinning of a sheep alive. I retreated quickly because the faces of the participants in the event did not suggest that visitors were welcomed. A few days later, the Lebanese neighbour had the opportunity to explain to me that the skinned sheep was buried alive in the compound and that it was a part of an Islamic ceremony to invite good fortunes. He said other versions of the rituals could include writing the messages (requests), on the body of the skinned sheep in what is called Hantu (i.e. special ink), with Kalam (special biro), before burying it alive. Tabati Ada is a potent witchcraft ritual not fully spelt out in the Koran for obvious reasons. It involves the summoning of the relevant ‘Spirit’ at mid night with the blood of a black goat and peering into the sun the following noon day with naked eyes to demand specific favours. Of course, the entire ceremony is more elaborate than this, laced with an almost endless monologue of spoken Koran verses relevant to the purpose. Every Muslim knows about Ya’si involving a number of brothers moving into the home of the fortune seeker to pray 1600 times each day and night, usually for seven days and nights at a time, using appropriate Koran verses. Politicians rely on it for winning elections. Women swear by it to capture spouses. Business people use it to trap untrammelled wealth and many swear it works especially when wrapped in raw witchcraft. Ya’si is in the water or wrap, under the wings of the cock by the water, and the smouldering fire in a shallow bowl-size well in the public room. The cock crows every morning to wake up the fortune seeker until the seventh day when it enters the fire of hell guaranteeing success. The fortune seeker might be required to ride a female donkey to a market place at past midnight to be intimate with the donkey, pull out on the verge of release, and collect his sperm for the final rituals. Christian Witchcraft. For example, the Holy Communion with wine and bread representing the blood and flesh of Jesus respectively, is criminal witchcraft cannibalism, but the Church faithful prefer to deceive themselves. All these are the surface programmes, much else go on behind the curtains with incantations, incenses, candles etc. Abraham sacrificed a ram to spare his son’s life but human sacrifices are not sacrosanct to the Gods. Yahweh supports human sacrifice. (Ex.22: 29 – 30). Yahweh revels in blood sacrifices including human, and in elaborate, archaic rituals. Yahweh killed (Num.16: 35, 21:6; Deut. 32:39; 1Sam. 2: 26; Psalm 135: 10. Yahweh ordered killing (Lev.26: 7 –8: Num. 25; 4-5). The daylight human sacrifice of Luciano (Catholics prefer to call it the ‘miracle’ of fresh human flesh and blood), proves the true nature of the Communion host – the Eucharist. All modern Churches: the Protestants, the Apostolic Faith, the Church Missionary Society, the Celestial Church of Christ, the Roman Catholic Church, the Cherubim and Seraphim, the Qua-Iboh sects and the Pentecostal variances, to name a few, are involved in serious witchcraft called miracles. The priests heal with magic words and herbal mixes passed on as holy water or the blood of Jesus. Bread replaces human flesh, and wine blood, obviously to get high and speak in tongues. In most Christian sects, licentiousness has been developed to an art. Women looking for pregnancies are taken by priests of some of the sects to lonely beaches at night or in the early morning hours and fingered mercilessly in the guise of allowing the holy spirit to enter into them, before being raped singing Alleluia to every bang, heightened with the mention of the name Jesus. Another version is called ‘Abe Abo’ for protection, which literally means to sleep under the priest for 3 to 7 days at a stretch. This goes on all the time in Celestial churches for instance. A married woman desperate for a child is given some liquid concoction to rob on any penis (but her husband’s), before sex, to get pregnant. The pastor would pretend he is not interested in the act so as to be begged by the woman to oblige there and then. It is decreed by Jesus, the one and only Son of God. Pentecostalism is the latest vogue in town. The prophets, pastors or priests rely on witchcraft for their magic and pass these off as miracles even on television. Their greatest con is reserved for healing, stage managed with paid people posing to have been cured of some ailments in the spirit of Jesus. I saw a man who appeared on two healing programmes of two entirely different Churches on the same Sunday. He was on an early morning television show claiming to have been cured of spinal cord problems. Six hours later he was on another television show with a different Church, removing his braces to prove his miraculous cure, after being pushed to the ground by the priest stretching his right hand in the fake patient’s direction. Ailments caused by emotional problems can be cured psychologically, especially through counselling. None spiritual ailments respond to orthodox medicine and spiritually caused ailments are cured only spiritually. In reality, there are no miracle cures. All ailments are caused (a) through physical means such as by germs, wounds, defective organs etc., which can sometimes be treated with orthodox medicine or herbs, or caused by (b) spiritual means, with the attacking spirit or spirits attaching to our bodies to perpetuate the ailment, or the ailment sent by remote control through the wind, powered by electromagnetism. Spiritually caused ailments copy physically caused ailments in intensity and details and range through all forms of ailments from headaches to cancer to AIDS. All spiritual treatments use other spirits (deities) to detach the spirit/s attacking or to cut off the remotely controlled electromagnetic link. Spiritual healing happens immediately following the detachment of the attacking spirit, that is why it seems to be like a miracle. Miracle cures in Churches, therefore, affect only spiritual ailments and intense prayers are not enough, severe witchcraft quietly summoning a spiritual deity or deities for intervention, is involved. The miracle priests and pastors are dishonest about their sources of power. They pretend in public to be tapping their energy from the Bible or Jesus while in the privacy of their homes they are involved in diabolical witchcraft to sustain the power. No miracle is possible without witchcraft. As we are misled in believing, when ‘Spirit’ kills, devil takes the blame. When ‘Spirit’ gives good health, wealth, children and long life, God takes the glory. God is society’s convenient and acceptable alibi. The first activity of a Pentecostal church pastor is to learn magic and witchcraft. All the big names, Adeboye, Joshua etc are not ignorant about this. A leading Lagos pastor working miracles currently, received his spiritual energy from a well-known powerful witch doctor. Six pigs are sacrificed yearly at a Pentecostal leader’s Ifa shrine in Ijebu Ode, Nigeria. Because they are not honest about their sources of power, their spiritual gifts tend to be transient and a great price is paid in private to sustain the deceit for any length of time. The second activity of the Pentecostal priest is to employ a standby witch doctor far more potent in the craft than he is, to continue to guide him. Then he dreams up grand names like: the Mission of God Incorporated or the Fire on the Mountain Mission or the Angels of God Caravan etc. Before building his church premises, his witch doctor must ritually bury any number of live cows from a dozen to a hundred, depending on means, in the foundation of the building. The intention being that the thousands of maggots that would invade the carcasses of the dead animals would translate into the crowd of worshippers the new church would attract and they do translate into such a crowd. A pastor told me recently that when he prays after 12 mid night, especially when he begins to call on the Holy Ghost to exorcise the demons around him, he experiences serious body vibrations and his room begins to spin around him until he gives up and goes to sleep. A German preacher, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, who visits Africa several times yearly, admitted the other day that he comes to Africa regularly to spiritually re-charge and that Africans do not know the high level of spiritual power they are blessed with. Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua is the leading Christian priest in the world right now because he is African. [b]There are traces of invisible use of power and methods of spiritual development as symbolized by rituals, gestures and thoughts, which are still practiced in the Church today, which the Church fathers hope followers would not try to understand. During the Xmas holidays of 1999, Pope John Paul II had cause to go through a once in fifty years’ witchcraft ritual. There is a room at the Golden Gate of St. Paul’s Basilica at the Vatican, which is opened only briefly once every Jubilee year by the reigning Pope. The room contains relics, including skeletons and bones of special ancestors, such as of the African original God Ausar (Osiris), wife Auset (Isis) and Virgin Son Horus. Also in the room are fetish symbols like ancient crosses, urns and regalias etc. Pope John Paul II was seen by television viewers worldwide knocking on the door to the room three times (like Ifa priests do before entering their shrines), before entering the room alone and closing the door behind him, obviously to try to collect mysterious powers from the skeletons, bones and artefacts in the room. He emerged from the room a few minutes later, with the door locked firmly for another fifty years. What is witchcraft but the worship of fetish objects and idols?[/b] Africans serve many Gods by offering sacrifices and prayers through such intermediaries, but what are Christians doing when they say Mass through a plethora of subordinate deities such as: St. Michael, St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Jude, the Archangel, the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ etc? Christians say they do not believe in ancestors, but what are their dead Saints and Jesus to them? Christians say they do not believe in reincarnation, but they are waiting endlessly for the return of their ancestor, Jesus. In the Catholic Church for instance, the process of recognizing a saint has not changed since the 16th century. The first step, beatification, requires at least one confirmed miracle. Canonization, the final declaration of sainthood requires at least one more. The Canadian medical historian, Dr. Jacalyn Duffin, put the study of miracles in the Catholic Church under her microscope for years and found that out of the 1,400 individual saint-making miracles; more than 500 were validated in the 20th century. The most recent miracle healing on her list took place in 1995. Duffin, a physician, claimed that supplicants walked away from seemingly incurable diseases, ranging from the suppurating wounds and raging tuberculosis of the pre-antibiotic era to today’s diagnoses of metastatic cancer. What the church and Duffin are calling miracles is the spirit of the saint or others acting on being summoned spiritually to detach the spirit causing the dire illness. [b]Christians wear medals, crosses, crucifixes, rosaries and other objects of their religion as pendants; eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus in Holy Communion; wrap psalms in pouches or scapular charms, made from pieces of cloth, to carry about on their bodies or in their vehicles as talisman; sprinkle blood of Jesus all over the place or bathe with it to ward off evil forces; put bibles under their pillows and crosses on their walls for protection; kneel before priests and fetishly stuffed alters in supplication; retreat regularly for vigils to pray and chant endlessly clutching rosaries, pendants, and other religious symbols to their ancestors (saints, Jesus, Yahweh etc); go on pilgrimages to their holy lands to touch and kiss stones, walls, or worship rivers and mountains. When African traditional faith followers, such as Sango and Amadioha adherents, do these same things for their deities, the Africans are described as being fetish. Both are into base witchcraft rituals, the only difference is that while one relies on artificial or man made objects (such as bread, wine and rosaries), the other remains faithful to natural elements, and we all know who is more potent.[/b] NAIWU OSAHON Hon.

There are certain things in ur post which I have been trying to tell the gullible ones in my thread but they can't see.. They have been spiritually blinded... A times I blame them, a times I don't... What I don't believe in that post is d use of blood for a ritual.... It's against the law mehn... Because we are higher animals won't make us to use the lesser animals for rituals.. They are living in their own world... Animals can only be use for food not for ritual The church practice the witchcraft, but when a pagan does something to heal or help people it's tagged evil.... Some don't know that the finger rosary and the rosary is a talisman... But when they see me with my rosary of 108(cos I flaunt it) they will be like, hAaaaaa that's evil and demonic.. Madam the one u r holding is what? Abegii Like I said before religion is the greatest enemy of Man.... The gods didn't cut us off from them, religion did 3 Likes |

I agree that virtually ALL of the great religions of the world practice a form of Magick, I wouldn’t say witchcraft since that is a particular discipline in its own right. It doesn’t matter how much the Christians howl or the Muslims mutter, they are all at it….and they know it. The main reason of course is that a spiritual vacuum exists because the average person is cut off from beneficient spiritual guidance. We live in a culture that has largely done away with beneficial spiritual guidance, we are surrounded with dogmatic religions that tell us how to live our lives, but which largely fail to nourish our spirit and enrich our lives. Instead we seek out that nourishment in vanity and peer-validation. We get a high from looking amazing in brand new shoes and from having friends who are jealous of our new cars or homes, we create envy. These things might feel good for a moment, but they do not nourish the spirit. The result of people's collective ignorance of the spiritual dimension of things, is the inadvertent creation of pseudo-demonic forces with which people surround themselves. This translates into a recipe for allowing spiritual pollution to flow through the conduit of morally bankrupt religious leaders. |
