Witches around the world  email this discussion to a friend?

I was kinda curious how different are the witches from every country around the world, We are all familiar with those Fairy tale British and Germanic perceptions of witches which is an ugly old lady that rides a broom, has a pet black cat and green or blue face. The wicked witch has been a a fairy tale staple for a long time. We also have the White witches which were known to be kind and friendly witches. Trinidad and Tobago,Africa and Haiti have those powerful and feared voodoo witches and the healing Witch doctors. I also remember that Spain have the gypsy witches, I dont know what makes them different though. What are your knowledge about the witches in your country?

hello albert,

well as far as i'm concerned the witches that i know here in our place are those who can give unknown diseases to people. or was that even a disease?
well, i have heard a lot of stories about them (mangkukulam & mambabarang) and its all scary and its difficult to mess with them or else your life will become miserable...
i don't know but i think they do really exists...doing some rituals and spells, i said that they exists coz i saw one of my neighbor before being cursed by her witch mother...she acted like crazy and when the faith healer came to heal her, she starts talking in a way that she don't usually do and its really scary watching them...

The mambabarangs are the scariest local witch we have because of their ability to manipulate insects, those insects will penetrate the body of the victim and makes an exist to the pores of their skin or even in their mouths. Its very gnarley and disturbing.WHy dont the government hire some witches to fight the terrorist, that would be freaking awesome.

huh! i guess no one will admit that they are 'mambabarang' its difficult to mess with them...
i don't really know if i will belive on these 'kulam' or what but i have seen my aunt before being a victim (well they really believe that she was) coz what happen to her is that, she can't walk and can't even stand...she walks on her knees to the point the she wants to crawl coz her feet are really hurting...
they bring her to the hospital but the doctors don't see anything...everything seems to be normal, but when they call on a faith healer...huh! after giving some oracion on her and some 'hihip' and put some leaves of i don't know...just the day after she goes back to normal and was able to walk as if nothing happens!shocked

I think Mambabarangs can attack a person with her insect friends just by knowing its whole name and just by having its picture. Thats how powerful they were. WHy dont they use their powers to all corrupt politicians. I mean They cant be tracked by the cops.

yeah and some of them also uses needles & their dolls!

haha, you think its true that there's a lot of them in siquijor or capiz? hehe

are politicians there not corrupt?lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Watch the Thai Horror movie "Art of the devil" It makes me think their witches are scarier than what we have in Siquijor, Yes Siquijor is our Witching Capital, Salem on the other hand is the witching capital of US. (I hope I'm right)
