I read a story just 2 years ago about a Prime Minister arresting several hundred people because he thought he was being bewitched. It's still happening at top levels of government in some placea.
It is in many places. In my country it is not uncommon for people to go to a witch doctor to be cured. He would spit or put rock salt on your belly to remove diseases. In rural areas people usually know of a resident witch who makes curses usually by taking your hair or communicating with dwarves.

As an Indian I can confirm you inspite of developing some rocket science here we have to suffer with these beliefs every single day and this problem runs very deep in our society. Black magic,racism,feud between castes and all possible evils run with hands in hands. And yeah we are talikng about digitization now a days without having a proper sanitization, healthcare system and the list can go on.......
one day my grandfather woke up with his eyes bleeding and they took him to hopital he went blind but they managed to save one eyes and had no reason to why this happen . years later something happen to the plumbing at the house and they had to dig and fix the problem ( mom uncles etc) when they were digging they found a 5 gallon paint bucket filled with tequila and a rooster blind folded inside. they said she tried to blind him so she could bring men home after the bar , as a kid she would bring a man home name jimmy and he would give us dollars to be quiet . they never slept in the same room and the story gets even deeper

Thank you vice . apparently mainstrean media still avoids NE ,which has always been there. But such coverage from you guy will really help in creating more awareness.

I personally belong to a tribal group which could be ostracised for practicing "dayyan pratha " earlier in my eastern state of india... However I would go far as to say we have moved much away from primitive thought of belief.... Me writing it can very well stand testimony to the fact that certain groups have moved and became really progressive..... my parents are doctors and I am gonna become a doctor too...so it is only fair to say that we believe in western school of thought .... I felt I should share my side of the story too....
I have met at least two senior doctors from prominent hospitals in India that have both a professional practice and deep interest in Tantra (which is known by different names). The two are not contradictory to each other. Neither is Tantra "primitive". As you meditate, you move to higher planes of consciousness and your perception of reality changes.
These possessing spirits are demons, not witches or ghosts. I am a witch, and I have spent the last 20+ years freeing people of these negative spirits. In my tradition, a shaman and a witch are the same thing. They are not using negative forces, rather fighting against them. I never asked for this job, but it is, regardless of my feelings, MY JOB. And it takes so much out of me to fight for people's freedom from these entities, that I am forced to take breaks that can last for years from the fight. I also work to free souls of those who have passed that have either gotten lost upon death, not realizing they are dead, or their soul is being held here by the same negative entities who oppressed and possessed them during their lives. They must be released so that they can move forward with their soul's journey.

When I read the title thought this was talking about today's trend of "Goth Witchcraft" or something like that among western teenagers and was like "Whaaaaat", never could be more wrong
The problem is not believing in the mind‘s ability to heal or harm others itself. It is going to an extreme where every single negative effect is thought to come from black magic or evil spirits and thinking spiritual methods are the only way of treatment. Such a belief is superstition - not only from a modern, western, scientific point of view but also from a purely traditional spiritual one. This kind of superstition and the western materialist superstition that mind is nothing more than the flow of electricity in the brain are two opposite extremes that any reasonable person should avoid. If you believe someone is doing black magic, just treat the problem with purely spiritual methods like the shaman in the video did, and avoid any physical actions, then all sides will be satisfied.
As an indigenous person and Sicilian as well the craft i practice is NOT glitter n etsy cute. Its become a trend almost when ppl dont realize mt ancestors even to family now have given their life for our beliefs and customs. We truly practice and believe in what we do. Let me put this in another perspective as well there are elders who found a plant to relieve migraines/headaches and other common pain. They were killed or beaten for what we know as ASPIRIN today.....
hoodoo practitioners use glitter all of the time. Alchemists do to. Just because things look nice doesn't make it bad. I wish this nareative would die out already.

I am a scriptwriter and I have been on resarch and doing case studies for quite some time. To write a script so that I can bring it to the mainland India. It is very threatening and real to our society. Thank you for bringing it up.
I am gonna say it - Some things are real and only because you don't understand it, doesn't make it superstitious. Yes I also accept that there are many people who feed on the fear.
NE has been so neglected in the Media that I have not seen anything on it related to covid since the pandemic started. P.S.:- Common media and politicians people in NE also bleed Saffron, white and green just like the rest of us. There is NO difference.
Irrelevant, but me as a bengali guy from dhaka, Bangladesh, could understand whatever they were saying. Assamese language is very close to the Bengali dialects spoken in our country
Theirs another aspect of it too, in states like Bihar, Rajasthan and Jharkhand, theirs law against calling someone 'witch'(Dayan and stuff like that) these laws are routinely used to blackmail people(mostly men) in Civil disputes because punishment are quite harsh. Perhaps a law like that will help in Northeast since sometimes it's called capital of black magic(especially Mayaon).
This video is very applicable to our community till today, because numbers of people suspect yet,, this witchcraft accusation is the great anti-social activities among tribal community Assam. The question is that is there anyone can practice witch and can kill someone ?
Because this isn’t Harry Potter. Witchcraft is a utilization of energies, but in the case of protection spells, if someone, especially if it’s multiple someones, are trying to kill you that in itself is a powerful energy that a protection spell might not be able to work against. Think of it this way, a protection spell is like a castle wall. Castle walls do very well against a few people trying to overcome it. But the wall is more vulnerable against an entire army with ladders. Even more vulnerable against a battering ram. More still against a catapult. Castle walls are breakable and breach-able. It is the same with protection spells. Also it’s very possible that the women in this video DID cast protection spells since they have lived to tell the tale. One of the women was even accused twice.
@michael weibel that would be $0 since I don’t use essential oils. It’s curious how bothered you are by what I said. People who practice witchcraft do believe, in some form or another, in the exchange or use of energy. It’s no sillier than Christians ritually consuming the body and blood of Christ during communion every Sunday. I happen to be Jewish and find that whole idea strange and revolting, but I don’t condescend to people who think differently.
@@hXbradshaw 🙄🙄🙄🙄 you wiccans always say that yet the Bible forbids witchcraft and communion is symbolism if you read the verses you would know there's no actual eating of flesh or blood 🤨 you say you don't condone yet you call Christians silly. How can you be Jewish yet practice witchcraft? How can you even still practice it when you come here to watch videos on your own religion and see stuff like this. Did you ever see in the Bible where the apostles literally drunk his blood and blood fell out of his mouth or his flesh? Or do you see Christians in communion doing that or is it with juice and bread 🤦🏻♀️
First of all, I’m nit a Wiccan. As I stated before I’m Jewish. And I did not call Christianity silly, I said witchcraft rituals are no sillier than Christian rituals. Meaning BOTH have merit. And OBVIOUSLY it’s symbolism. But it’s symbolism used to an effect. The wine is blessed and considered holy once that has happened, so much so that most denominations require the priest to finish any thst is leftover so as not to spill the figurative blood of Christ. That is a ritual, an act of symbolic transmutation which is the SAME idea that witchcraft utilizes. A Christian prayer for protection or healing is no different fundamentally than a witches spell for protection or healing. You’re both arriving to the same destination but the roads you take are different.
@YVNcarlos what’s the point of any religion or spiritual path? To have a better understanding to the world around you, to connect with the divine, to find solace from the harsh realities of the world, and even to influence the world around you. There’s really not much difference between a prayer and a spell. A lot of people pray when they want something, whether that be health, wealth, love, etc. other people perform spells for the same reason. But just like there are many religions - Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist - there’s also many different types of witchcraft. Celtic witchcraft is going to look different from Romanian witchcraft, which is going to look different from Mexican witchcraft. Some people even combine witchcraft and whatever religion they follow. For instance, Santeria combines a lot of elements from Roman Catholicism. Long story short, the point is people want to find meaning in the world and witchcraft is just one of many ways to go about it.

My parents have roots in Assam, not trying to defame but unavailability of proper education in breaking the age old stigmas & stereotypes results in these, it's just not women the only victim. I also live in a constant fear of getting lynched by a mob in the capital of the state itself. This ain't something new or different, humans do have a tendency to treat what they think are foreign with violence & no tolerance behaviour to what they believe is to save their society from outside alteration. Though the panorama is changing, but yeah it still exists and will.
This reminds me of spirit children in rural Ghana. Spirit children are just the ridiculous belief of a child who is born with an attached spirit of sorts who brings destruction and misfortune onto the family, village, etc. It mostly is seen as a child born with a disability, tho it has been used an excuse to blame people for anything such as you have an affair and the mistress gets pregnant the child must be a spirit child and needs to be killed. Even though it is most described as children with disabilities anyone can be branded as a spirit child: mental disorder, physical deformity, crying too much as a baby, someone falls sick so the child is blamed, even adults can later be claimed as spirit children such as widows. It's bogus and pathetic and similar to witchcraft a ritual needs to be performed after to " clean" the village. The only way to prove your not a spirit child is if a man proves it for you and even than it can be said that he was influenced by the bad spirits and than you are killed either way.

It is in many places. In my country it is not uncommon for people to go to a witch doctor to be cured. He would spit or put rock salt on your belly to remove diseases. In rural areas people usually know of a resident witch who makes curses usually by taking your hair or communicating with dwarves.

As an Indian I can confirm you inspite of developing some rocket science here we have to suffer with these beliefs every single day and this problem runs very deep in our society. Black magic,racism,feud between castes and all possible evils run with hands in hands. And yeah we are talikng about digitization now a days without having a proper sanitization, healthcare system and the list can go on.......
one day my grandfather woke up with his eyes bleeding and they took him to hopital he went blind but they managed to save one eyes and had no reason to why this happen . years later something happen to the plumbing at the house and they had to dig and fix the problem ( mom uncles etc) when they were digging they found a 5 gallon paint bucket filled with tequila and a rooster blind folded inside. they said she tried to blind him so she could bring men home after the bar , as a kid she would bring a man home name jimmy and he would give us dollars to be quiet . they never slept in the same room and the story gets even deeper

I personally belong to a tribal group which could be ostracised for practicing "dayyan pratha " earlier in my eastern state of india... However I would go far as to say we have moved much away from primitive thought of belief.... Me writing it can very well stand testimony to the fact that certain groups have moved and became really progressive..... my parents are doctors and I am gonna become a doctor too...so it is only fair to say that we believe in western school of thought .... I felt I should share my side of the story too....
Cool man good for you
I have met at least two senior doctors from prominent hospitals in India that have both a professional practice and deep interest in Tantra (which is known by different names). The two are not contradictory to each other. Neither is Tantra "primitive". As you meditate, you move to higher planes of consciousness and your perception of reality changes.
I'm glad this issue of my community is being noticed

People so worried about witches, you should be worried by the people deeming them witches.......
These possessing spirits are demons, not witches or ghosts. I am a witch, and I have spent the last 20+ years freeing people of these negative spirits. In my tradition, a shaman and a witch are the same thing. They are not using negative forces, rather fighting against them. I never asked for this job, but it is, regardless of my feelings, MY JOB. And it takes so much out of me to fight for people's freedom from these entities, that I am forced to take breaks that can last for years from the fight. I also work to free souls of those who have passed that have either gotten lost upon death, not realizing they are dead, or their soul is being held here by the same negative entities who oppressed and possessed them during their lives. They must be released so that they can move forward with their soul's journey.
Knew some Alexandrian white witches back in the day. A lot more is going on than we admit. Not something that they advertise just for these reasons.

Congratulations Vice. An actual docuementary like the good old days when you were great journalist's.
The problem is not believing in the mind‘s ability to heal or harm others itself.
It is going to an extreme where every single negative effect is thought to come from black magic or evil spirits and thinking spiritual methods are the only way of treatment. Such a belief is superstition - not only from a modern, western, scientific point of view but also from a purely traditional spiritual one.
This kind of superstition and the western materialist superstition that mind is nothing more than the flow of electricity in the brain are two opposite extremes that any reasonable person should avoid.
If you believe someone is doing black magic, just treat the problem with purely spiritual methods like the shaman in the video did, and avoid any physical actions, then all sides will be satisfied.

hoodoo practitioners use glitter all of the time. Alchemists do to. Just because things look nice doesn't make it bad. I wish this nareative would die out already.

Muh culture
Theirs another aspect of it too, in states like Bihar, Rajasthan and Jharkhand, theirs law against calling someone 'witch'(Dayan and stuff like that) these laws are routinely used to blackmail people(mostly men) in Civil disputes because punishment are quite harsh. Perhaps a law like that will help in Northeast since sometimes it's called capital of black magic(especially Mayaon).
in my country, witch not someone with magic or rituals instead someone who bored with fingers, phone and internet. believe me, they are scary.
?
This video is very applicable to our community till today, because numbers of people suspect yet,, this witchcraft accusation is the great anti-social activities among tribal community Assam. The question is that is there anyone can practice witch and can kill someone ?

What do u mean other choices? When he takes away my iq? Just in a heartbeat? The vegetable
Can they not just use a protection spell
Because this isn’t Harry Potter. Witchcraft is a utilization of energies, but in the case of protection spells, if someone, especially if it’s multiple someones, are trying to kill you that in itself is a powerful energy that a protection spell might not be able to work against. Think of it this way, a protection spell is like a castle wall. Castle walls do very well against a few people trying to overcome it. But the wall is more vulnerable against an entire army with ladders. Even more vulnerable against a battering ram. More still against a catapult. Castle walls are breakable and breach-able. It is the same with protection spells. Also it’s very possible that the women in this video DID cast protection spells since they have lived to tell the tale. One of the women was even accused twice.
@michael weibel that would be $0 since I don’t use essential oils. It’s curious how bothered you are by what I said. People who practice witchcraft do believe, in some form or another, in the exchange or use of energy. It’s no sillier than Christians ritually consuming the body and blood of Christ during communion every Sunday. I happen to be Jewish and find that whole idea strange and revolting, but I don’t condescend to people who think differently.
@@hXbradshaw 🙄🙄🙄🙄 you wiccans always say that yet the Bible forbids witchcraft and communion is symbolism if you read the verses you would know there's no actual eating of flesh or blood 🤨 you say you don't condone yet you call Christians silly. How can you be Jewish yet practice witchcraft? How can you even still practice it when you come here to watch videos on your own religion and see stuff like this. Did you ever see in the Bible where the apostles literally drunk his blood and blood fell out of his mouth or his flesh? Or do you see Christians in communion doing that or is it with juice and bread 🤦🏻♀️
First of all, I’m nit a Wiccan. As I stated before I’m Jewish. And I did not call Christianity silly, I said witchcraft rituals are no sillier than Christian rituals. Meaning BOTH have merit. And OBVIOUSLY it’s symbolism. But it’s symbolism used to an effect. The wine is blessed and considered holy once that has happened, so much so that most denominations require the priest to finish any thst is leftover so as not to spill the figurative blood of Christ. That is a ritual, an act of symbolic transmutation which is the SAME idea that witchcraft utilizes. A Christian prayer for protection or healing is no different fundamentally than a witches spell for protection or healing. You’re both arriving to the same destination but the roads you take are different.
@YVNcarlos what’s the point of any religion or spiritual path? To have a better understanding to the world around you, to connect with the divine, to find solace from the harsh realities of the world, and even to influence the world around you. There’s really not much difference between a prayer and a spell. A lot of people pray when they want something, whether that be health, wealth, love, etc. other people perform spells for the same reason. But just like there are many religions - Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist - there’s also many different types of witchcraft. Celtic witchcraft is going to look different from Romanian witchcraft, which is going to look different from Mexican witchcraft. Some people even combine witchcraft and whatever religion they follow. For instance, Santeria combines a lot of elements from Roman Catholicism. Long story short, the point is people want to find meaning in the world and witchcraft is just one of many ways to go about it.
Unfortunately as long as we have religion, we will continue to have naive people believing nonsense ☹️

My parents have roots in Assam, not trying to defame but unavailability of proper education in breaking the age old stigmas & stereotypes results in these, it's just not women the only victim. I also live in a constant fear of getting lynched by a mob in the capital of the state itself. This ain't something new or different, humans do have a tendency to treat what they think are foreign with violence & no tolerance behaviour to what they believe is to save their society from outside alteration. Though the panorama is changing, but yeah it still exists and will.
Let's hope they can put this stuff behind them after their corona insanity ends
This reminds me of spirit children in rural Ghana. Spirit children are just the ridiculous belief of a child who is born with an attached spirit of sorts who brings destruction and misfortune onto the family, village, etc. It mostly is seen as a child born with a disability, tho it has been used an excuse to blame people for anything such as you have an affair and the mistress gets pregnant the child must be a spirit child and needs to be killed. Even though it is most described as children with disabilities anyone can be branded as a spirit child: mental disorder, physical deformity, crying too much as a baby, someone falls sick so the child is blamed, even adults can later be claimed as spirit children such as widows. It's bogus and pathetic and similar to witchcraft a ritual needs to be performed after to " clean" the village. The only way to prove your not a spirit child is if a man proves it for you and even than it can be said that he was influenced by the bad spirits and than you are killed either way.
