Yes all spells are a form of voodoo or occult practice that use demons and their demonic power, you need the Holy spirit of God not the devils fake power! Read John 3 and get that spirit!

yes, they are real practices. no, they don't actually do anything. all magic and spiritual crap is just mind tricks... which is why there has never been any proof for the existence of any supernatural phenomena.

It is true that our thoughts create our reality. What you think, you experience. It has been pr oven that our thoughts effect reality on a sub-atomic level. They have to conduct testing double blinded because if the testers know who gets the real drug and who doesn't, it invalidates the test because their beliefs change the results. So spells, voodoo and Santeria are very primitive but can have results, albeit inconsistent. But there are higher forms of the same idea, wherein one trains ones mind for the benefit of all beings.

They are real enough to those who believe in them. I personally do not believe in magic, but I recognize the power that strongly held beliefs can have over the mind and body.

I believe that the magic in Santaria, and Voodoo are real. I am a christian, however Im not so sure that this power is necessarily demonic in origin. I have no personal experiences.

I have only read about Santeria but I have talked to many people that prat ice the religion. It is a real religion but it is still kept secret because of modern day persecution. People still see it as a mysterious and evil religion. It is nothing but.

I have practiced folk magic for about 8 years now. They have always worked good for me. It took a little while before I was able to work without any of the extras but it is a good way to be an active participant in your life. It helps you to bring about the changes you desire or need.

I am mostly a visitantNTr practitioner of vodou. I have been part of this beautiful religion for about 2 years now. I am still a beginner. Vodou is not only a way of life but it really does take a lifetime of learning and even then you may not know all the mysteries. I attended a fet this past weekend. We honored the lwa that have been working really hard for the house and its members. As always the lwa came, danced, and gave thier blessings. We managed again to donate alot of food to the local shelter. And we were host to some students from colleges in the area. The students came as part of thier religion class. It helps when the teacher is part of the house.

My experience with vodou had been nothing but great. I have been blessed with a great paying job, financial stablilty, a great family life (which was a little shaky), better health, and a better sense of my spirituality and the spirits that walk with me. It a religion that I will be a part of me for the rest of my life and into the next.

You ask are they real. Well I live the life everyday and yes the religion, the spirits, the energy, is all real. Vodou is a big religion and it can be practiced by anyone. Here is the website of the house I belong to. I have given the link to the information area. There you can read about the history of Haiti and Vodou, the holidays, the ancestors, the regleman (ritual order), and of course a little about some of the lwa that are served in our house. http://www.sosyetedumarche.com/Vodou_Info/vodou_info.html

Enjoy!

I think that those activities are not real in the sense of being truly supernatural, but I do believe that such a spell could possibly produce a psychological effect upon the intended subject, particularly if that person is aware of being the proposed victim of "black magi ck". Because the brain as an organ operates via the exchange of electrical energy, it seems to me that the energy, if directed outward toward a potential human receptacle, especially one whose mental state is fearful, that person might possibly do the bidding of the more the powerful transmitter. There are recorded cases of victims succumbing to such spells, although their reliability may be questionable...
