The Enigma of True Black Magic: Can It Exist and Where Can It Be Found?

(Introduction)

Through the ages, the concept of black magic has been a subject of fascination and fear. The belief in its existence varies from culture to culture, with some attributing it to the work of supernatural beings or individuals with specialized knowledge. Today, we explore a true story from Nigeria that questions the plausibility of black magic and its supposed witnessed accomplishments.

A Reality Check in Nigeria

During my time in Lagos, Nigeria, the Eko Bridge, which spans the lagoon, faced a perilous situation. The bridge was undergoing crucial repairs to prevent structural failure before the rainy season began, a period when water levels rise significantly and most activities are suspended.

The local company responsible for the bridge, Julius Berger, was running out of time before the onset of the rainy season. The possibility of work ceasing for six months had many concerned. To address this urgency, Julius Berger turned to an unorthodox solution: a witch doctor. This Afro-British expatriate witnessed a true story that sparked contemplation on the reality and efficacy of black magic.

Employing Witchcraft for Real-World Needs

The story goes that Julius Berger hired a local witch doctor to delay the onset of the rainy season. This decision was met with skepticism but was also covered by local newspapers, adding an air of legitimacy to the claim.

What unfolded was a remarkable phenomenon: the rainy season arrived 6 weeks later than anticipated. This delay was so significant that it was considered unprecedented at the time, dating back to 35 years before concerns over global warming dominated discussions about erratic weather patterns.

The local population, initially scoffing at the idea of witchcraft, was now left questioning the plausibility of the claim. It was a stark reminder that, in the midst of modernization and technology, ancient practices and beliefs can still hold ground.

The True Reliability of Black Magic

The delay in the rainy season, as claimed, raises the following questions:

Is black magic real? Can it be used to influence natural phenomena? If possible, where can true black magic be found or practiced?

The Global Perspective on Black Magic

The story of Julius Berger is just one of many accounts where black magic has played a significant role. In many parts of Africa, the Caribbean, and South America, witch doctors and voodoo practitioners are revered for their traditional knowledge and ability to interact with the supernatural.

While the scientific community might dismiss such claims, the belief in black magic is deeply ingrained in the local culture. It often serves as a means to explain natural phenomena and influence outcomes, providing a sense of control in a world full of uncertainties.

Conclusion

The story of Julius Berger, though anecdotal, adds to the ongoing debate over the existence and potential power of black magic. It challenges us to differentiate between superstition and reality, and to consider the role that ancient beliefs play in contemporary life. Despite the skepticism surrounding such claims, the narrative of the delayed rainy season underscores the enduring fascination and belief in the practices of true black magic.
