Witchcraft in the Balkans

[Mortimer]

When I got diagnosed with shizophrenia my mum took me to a old witch in serbia. She should take away black magick from me. She said I have no black magick on me and then she said I should everyday paint with a black liner, a cross on my head and wash my face with eggwhite/eggyellow. I refused that my mum was a bit upset, and she wanted to force me to do it but I refused it because it was clearly witchcraft to me and I was scared. I then didnt do it. After some years a week ago I have told my mum about it or reminded her of that, and she agreed that Im right, I think she didnt realised it back then, but now she realised it. She didnt remembered that well anymore though.

Im not sure about psychics though, or foretelling the future, I guess it depends, in Christianity there is a tradition of prophecies, so it isnt neccessarily witchcraft or magick.

JK Mortimer. But you should know witchcraft isn't real.

I believe that some mediums are from God though, "test eacht spirit if he is from God" how otherwise do you explain the Message of Fatima, of the three kids, and they knew something about the future too.

Did you ever heard of Fatima?

I think it means that they seek guidance from spirits other then God. That they turned away from God. I agree, likely those psychics who also are into some form of esoteric etc. are not christian. Mediums with chakra stones etc. but technically someone can be guided by God. I dont know if in Christian philosophy there is anything about Astrology or something.

There's many old pagan traditions from both Slavs,Thracians and Bulgars that remain in Bulgaria.

I look at them the same way I look at the dominant religion - its something that holds historical value but it should not be taken seriously out of the context of just admiring history.

Great interesting topic for a new YouTube video for my channel. Feedback please, also from other Christians like Loki what they think? Im not claiming I know it all.

I don't believe in literal gods or The God, but I think that all this stuff including Christianity, comes from either of these two sources - human imagination or a genuine phenomenon of which we know next to nothing about. I am sceptical enough not to dismiss every single experience with the strange stuff people report all the time as a delusion or hoax.
