Witchcraft, the extra-natural interference in the welfare of the community by women has long since ceased to be a source of major concern. Witches remains a very active and vital image in the consciousness of Nigerians. Belief in the witch and in her powers is all but universal.

The study of witchcraft raises a number of interesting questions:

(1) If witchcraft is not a genuine phenomenon, why is the witch fantasy so prevalent in so many different cultures throughout the world?

(2) What is it about the human female that provokes such similar pictures of her magical malevolence in such diverse cultures?

(3) What changes have occurred in culture that have allowed the witch fantasy to lose its erstwhile potency?

This write up will expose witchcraft and answer these questions and lot more...

If you want me to continue, drop your comments. It is going to be an interesting write up

Witches In Nigeria

Certain women once went to "Eshu" to ask for the power of witchcraft. Eshu was willing to give it to them but he had to refer them to Orunmila.

Orunmila would not allow them to go out into the world with the power of witchcraft until they promised to honour certain signs and materials to serve men as protections against their power.

They agreed to this but it was necessary for them to go on to Olorun to make their agreement binding.

This transaction is mentioned in certain ancient Ifa verses of unknown origin which are used in divination.

"ldi ogbungbun, aworo niye"

They went to Alara's house and kill him

They went to Ajero's house and kill him

They went to Orangun's house and kill him

You pluck the Okro of Ejiwo

You eat the Camwood of Ailoran

You kill the stammering water of Owu

When Eshu came, you left for a place in the sky and it received you not

Then you went to Orunmila and when you got there

You greeted him and he asked you where you were going

Then you said you were going into the world to be killing people and to be debarring their progress

It is a forbidden act to eat soap

Then Orunmila said that he would not allow the gates to be opened unto you

Unless you go to the Almighty God

When you got there

You explain yourselves to Him

Then almighty God said:

"Spittle once out of the mouth

Will not come back to the mouth again

The grass that the elephants tread will never rise again

Therefore you must not change your agreement

And anybody with this sign on should be honoured'."

PLS NOTE: Recite The Above Incantation Whenever You Are Confronted By Witches!

Is this a joke?

Is this a joke?

NO, you don't joke with things like witchcraft

Hmmm

Witchcraft is a feminine art and has its power from Eshu and was sanctioned, if somewhat reluctantly by Orunmila (lfa) and by Olorun.

This power is generally attributed to older women but young women or even girls can sometimes be involved.

Witchcraft power is a kind of immaterial substance which may be kept in a calabash hidden in a hole in the wall of a witch's house or in a hollow tree.

The power itself may be lodged in the roots of a tree or even in a young child (age 1 to 8 years).

In the latter case the witchcraft power will not harm the child but on the contrary will protect the child from other witches as the child is serving one of them as a refuge.

The red tailfeather of the parrot is used as a sign of witchcraft power and may be placed in the calabash or in the tree containing witchcraft power.

I have seen women vomit witchcraft out. It was like a stone or a hard ball of something. They were not killed after that.

The spirit of witches after death becomes a restless and disconsolate ghost who wanders about the world in a distraught state.

The power is usually passed from mother to daughter but it may also be bestowed as a gift or may be purchased.

When passed from one person to the other it is often given mixed with certain foods.

It is sometimes held that a woman can not die possessing witchcraft power but must pass it on to someone before her death; in fact, she will not be able to die unless she does so.

Witchcraft power is like a breeze, you can't see it but it has effect. A woman can't die possessing it-when she dies, she vomits out the invisible witchcraft and it passes to her daughter.

A person can buy witchcraft power or may, as well, inherit it from another person.

This mostly depends on the interest or love the witchcraft woman has in the person that is going to possess it.

But it is necessary and matter of must, to give this witchcraft power to somebody before she should die.

In this case, if she could not get anybody either to buy it or to give it out as a gift to her friend outside or to have a daughter she loved that can inherit it, she has to take it to an Iroko tree that is very young.

This will become a spirit in the tree. Other witches will be coming to this tree to have their meetings. It is such trees that we native doctors carry our sacrifices to in case we have a patient that is seriously sick.

Witchcraft bought with money is not given directly, it can be given through foods such as baked beans (Akara), Kola, Porridge, red Yam and many other native foods.

When this is taken, the power will start to grow, until when the person will start to fly at night.

Yes a man can be initiated into witchcraft. Have you heard about Oso? That is the name of male wizard in Binin. You can ask a Binin person what I said and he or she will explain better to you but the modus operandi of a male witch is slightly different from a female witch. Male witches are very few compare to female witches!

PLS NOTE: A babalawo is not a wizard (Oso) but he has the ability to travel to the invisible worlds to attend different coven meetings, marine meetings and other spiritual meetings to advocates and release his clients from witches bondage.

Any babalawo that is a male witch (Oso), his powers will be very limited. He cant attend different meetings like the marine meetings and other spiritual meetings because the marines are far far higher than witches. A male witch babalawo is limited only to his coven and there are millions of coven that he cant attend but a non witch babalawo can attend all as long as he has his Ifa staff, he is safe and no evil can befall him. I can snap my Ifa staff and post it here with my nairaland name on it if you havent seen an Ifa staff before?

Malevolence is volence, valence against males usually concocted in females owing to chemical changes in their blood and body. I like to know more about witches and what makes women so corrupt and wicked and so aggrieved when hurt.

Babalawos:


Thank you

Babalawos:




Really? Not all adventures ends well. So which area of witchcraft will you like me to explain?

i am a paranormal investigator and i know things about witchcraft including the seven occult kingdom of d cosmological verdict of d order of astral and terrestrial hierachy.
I would like u to tell me what u know about mermaids and d marine kingdom

Op, been a keen follower of ur post for sometimes now.. A big thumbs for your acute maturity when replying comments.

I have a question and it goes this:

Why are witches associated with filth and dirt?
Are there no modern civilized witches or wizard that represents wealth, progress and forwardness?

Is it true that most great inventions are achieved with the use of witchcraft?

If there are so great witches in Nigeria, why the political and barbaric religious backwardness?
