Filipino Witches

Filipino Witches are the scariest, most interesting people in the history of time. Although their existence is considered a myth by many people, they are believed to be the most powerful in South Asia countries. They are the users of black magic, sorcery and satanism from the country of the Philippines. They include a variety of different kinds of people with different occupations and cultural connotations which depend on the ethnic group they are associated with. The concept of 'witch' is different in these countries, unlikely the western countries.

Filipino witches practice a kind of black magic, particularly a malicious use of sympathetic magic, which is attributed to Indigenous Philippine religions. These spells often cause harm to health, money, home, relations or even society. Witchcraft was introduced to the Philippines by the Spanish colonial people. Today, it is said to be centred in Pampanga, Talalora, Western Samar and Sorsogon, etc. The curses and other magics of witches are often delayed, countered, cured, or lifted by Filipino shamans associated with the indigenous Philippine folk religions.

Filipino Witches are believed to cast life-threatening spells. Filipino witches are believed to have powers that cause damage to other people covertly. Healer-sorcerers who practice this kind of magic usually justify it as a form of illicit punishment, as a widespread belief is that black magic does not function on innocent people. Their targets are usually "wrongdoers" like criminals, adulterous partners, or territory grabbers. There are also "true" wizards who are said to have inborn sorcery s powers. Unlike healers, they do not consider the judge of their activities. The use of sympathetic magic, also known by various names like kulam, away (Tagalog); Barang, hiwit, lágà (Visayan); tandem, may (Ilocano); and the pancake is quite common. 

In some instances, the elements of the ritual themselves specify the effects. For example, adding seawater to a boiling pot "linked" to a victim is said to cause the victim's belly to swell and ache in time with the tides. They also have the ability to kill another person instantly with magic spells, the ability to cast curses or the evil eye, the ability to "abduct" a person's soul, or the ability to send evil spirits or familiar animals to possess or harm the victim.
