THE WORK OF WITCHCRAFT (Black Magic)…
I get many emails about negative spirits; people asking, “How does witchcraft work?” Witchcraft (also known as black magic, brujeria, or wanga) is used negatively to spiritually attack an unsuspecting person (the target) and it can work in a variety of ways. The opponent usually fits into three categories: rival, adversary, or enemy. Let’s define our players:
Player 1: Rival/Competitor: a person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field. An example would be two or more people competing for the same job or same position in a relationship.
Player 2: Adversary: someone who is against you or opposes your position. An adversary is someone who is against you in some way. Many times this word is used interchangeably with the word enemy.
Player 3: Antagonist/Enemy: someone who actively opposes you or your position. An enemy is hostile to someone or something. One that seeks to harm or weaken someone or something else. An enemy is one who fights determinedly and relentlessly; seeking to injure, overthrow, or confuse an opponent. An enemy is someone who will continuously use witchcraft (some form of black magic) to attack someone until they get their desired outcome.
Player 4: Target: the individual under attack. Many targets are unaware of the fact that many of the problems in their lives are not natural or normal. Misfortune, loss, illness, confusion, accidents, mental instability, relationship breakups are many of the signs that a spiritual attack has been initiated.
A rival, adversary, or an enemy can be:
anyone that you personally know like a friend, family member, or someone you frequently interact with like a colleague at work; or
anyone that you have seen in passing or had a brief encounter with like a neighbor; or
someone that you have never met.
“When asking protection from spirit guides and/or ancestors, you can ask them to protect you from known and unknown enemies and adversaries.”
It is important to distinguish between an actual adversary/enemy and a rival/competitor. The person or persons (usually some kind of spiritualist) doing the attacking would be known as an adversary or enemy. I like to call them “spiritual bullies” because they hide behind and use spiritual means to harm or intimidate those whom they perceive as vulnerable or weaker in some way, and for whatever reason. Because the enemy assumes that they are anonymous, they feel embolden, cocky, and function from some kind of superiority complex where they believe:
1. they are stronger and have the upper-hand over their target; and/or
2. their spiritual abilities (know-how) and their access to other spiritualists, spiritual mediums and tools are superior to that of the person(s) being targeted.
In fact, the truth is that the enemy will use witchcraft (black magic) to defend some kind of delusion or as a defense to feelings of inadequacy and/or insecurity in some way. No matter the reason for the attack, the enemy is a threat to your peace and happiness, therefore, you MUST find ways to protect yourself and all the areas of your life.
An example of a delusion in a work/career situation: you are a hard worker, you come to work on time, you are resourceful, and you understand your job very well. The enemy, usually a person filled with jealousy or envy would perceive you as a threat when, in actuality, a threat doesn’t exist. The threat is in their “head.” This enemy is insecure so they spiritual attack you so that your performance declines and you begin to feel less than your true self. Then over time, a series of petty/bad incidents start affecting you, your job performance, and how you are viewed by others. At first you may think you are just having some bad days or that you are stressed and less focused when in fact you have become a victim of a spiritual attack.
Now that we know the definition of the attacker better known as the “enemy,” let’s move on to our question.
question: I feel that there are negative spirits bothering me. I’m being attacked and I feel that I may be the victim of witchcraft, what should I do?
The first step in answering the above question is to have divination done to determine:
1) if you are the victim of some sort of spiritual attack; or
2) if you have conjured up a self-created "demon" that is attacking you. A self-created demon is a mass of energy that grows every time you obsess negatively in your thinking, actions, and behaviors. Self-created demons usually stem from psychological or mental and emotional traumas. This created mass of energy can take the form of an entity that can bother or torment you. Many people do not realize that they can self-create a mass of energy that takes the form of an entity that appears to have consciousness and functions like an abusive, negative, and evil spirit. In addition, this self-created demon can attract a variety of other negative spirits and entities that can add to the problem.
what to do, if you are the victim of A spiritual attack or some sort of external/environmental influence:
you need to be able to defend and protect yourself. This is where divination comes in. Divination or some sort of spiritual investigation will help you to determine: a) the level of spiritual attack or influence; b) the type of person or entity attacking you and why; and c) how to cleanse, defend and protect yourself.
"the best defense is a good offense is the idea that a strong offensive action instead of a passive attitude will preoccupy the opposition and ultimately hinder their ability to mount an opposing counterattack, leading to a strategic advantage.”
“Mao Zedong opined that “the only real defense is an active defense”, meaning defense for the purpose of
counter-attacking and taking the offensive. Often success rests on destroying the enemy’s ability to attack.”
what to do, IF YOUR ATTACK IS SELF-CREATED:
divination can help you to determine if you need spiritual help, professional psychological help, or both.
you need to analyze yourself to see in what ways you could be creating self attacks. You need to look at the different ways you are contributing to the chaotic, disruptive, and negative happenings in your life. Remember, you can create a mass of energy from your own thoughts that can transform into a living entity that will disrupt and cause blockages and limitations in your life. This is how self-fulfilling prophesies work. Self-fulfilling prophesies are based on false realities. For example, if you believe everyone to be an enemy, out of paranoia, then you will find it difficult to have any kind of friendly relationships with people. In your mind, every time there’s difficulty with others, your prophesy comes true. But in actuality, you created a living energy mass (demonic entity) from your negative thoughts and paranoia that makes other people feel that they must defend and protect themselves from you and your energy; thus putting the relationship in conflict.
Also, when you have too many negative thoughts and feelings, spirits that like this type of energy will flock to you, bother you, even torment you. You must understand that all spirits seek out people, places and things of similar vibration or of similar interest.
For instance, if a person suffers from depression then it will be easy for that person to attract entities (spirits) that are depressed, sad, lost and confused. If a person is negative in mind and heart then their thoughts and emotions will attract spirits of similar vibration. Say that you are a decent person but you just have low self-esteem. You could potentially attract spiritual energies of low vibrations and these spirits will attach to and feed off of the low thoughts that you have of yourself. Simply put, a person will only attract energies similar to what exists within his or her self. As the law of attraction states, like attracts like. This is why it is important to remain in good character and have superior and positive thoughts.
Thoughts are just as real as the cell phone that you hold in your hands. And when you have certain thoughts over and over again it forms a mass of energy that is called a thought-form. Thought-forms can be harmful as well as beneficial. Each time you have bad thoughts your thought-form will grow into a negative mass of energy. Each time you have good thoughts, your thought-form will grow into a positive mass of energy that can be helpful in your life. Your negative thoughts and positive thoughts can, also, cancel each other out leaving you to feel stagnated. If your negative or pessimistic thoughts out weigh the good, then you will more than likely experience negativity in your life. However, if you are more of an optimistic and positive thinker then you will more than likely have experiences of things working out for you in good ways even in the midst of chaos.
now ask yourself, Have you created your own demon with your thoughts and bad feelings?
Yes, this sounds crazy but it happens all the time. In Yoruban culture, a self-created demon is called “elenini” – your own personally created antagonistic monster.
Elenini is created when a person resists change; they hold on to thought-forms that resist self transformation. These individuals are not learning life’s lessons. They have restricted their personal growth on some level and are internally conflicted to the point of self-destruction. They love having obsessive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A self-created demon also happens when a person persists to hold onto problems. They worship the problem, complaining and making excuses as to why the problem exists therefore keeping the problem alive in their hearts and minds. Energies are then created to support the distorted view of what’s happening in their lives. In this, they continue to suffer but only at their own hands. For these individuals, they have made themselves believe that it is easier to live this way than to deal with the painful truths that live at the core. This unresolved conflict eventually leads to tension in the body, tension in life, resentments and anger. Elenini feeds off of negative energies, thoughts, and emotions – getting bigger and stronger by the minute. A person can create an elenini for any area of their life. Some people have created an elenini in the area of love; no matter what they do, they cannot find a partner. The elenini has become the invisible partner “cock blocking” anyone who even dares to take an interest. Others have created elenini in the area of money and finance; their thoughts about money is so negative that a monster was created to ensure their suffering and poverty. Eleninis have also been created out of fear and trauma.
Excerpt taken from “Ifa Theology – Inner Peace” by Awo Falokun Fatunmbi says, “If a person is avoiding transforming ibi [inner conflict, resistance, or change], they will look for someone else to blame for their problems. If there is no one to blame [like in witchcraft] they will create an imaginary demon that they can claim is responsible for the disruption in their life. If the need to create a demon is strong enough the thought form will take shape and the monster will materialize in the physical world giving apparent confirmation that the problem is external and not internal…In Ifa this phenomena is called elenini. Real spirits always respond to the power of the word. If you tell egun (general spirits) or Orisa (deities) to leave, they leave. Elenini does not respond to the power of the word. The more you try to dispel it in a ritual context the stronger it gets. If a ritual exorcism is effective, the old elenini is replaced by a new manifestation far more powerful than the original. The only way to destroy elenini is to starve it to death. By this I mean you have to slowly work away at the internal conflicts that feed this spirit.
The only person who can destroy elenini is the person who created it. This won’t happen until the person is ready to accept responsibility for the real problem. If you try and banish an elenini in a ritual context the person who created it will view the ritual as a threat to their identity, they will resist the process by attacking you. There is no easy solution to this problem. My best recommendation is to refer the person with the elenini to a mentor, someone who has effectively transformed the real issue. The ritual cleansing ends up looking more like a twelve-step program than an offering to spirit.”
Your thought-forms and your emotions have tremendous power and this energy is alive. Most people do not know how to use this power and they stay stuck in negative thinking about everything. These people are internally conflicted and self-destructive on many levels. Most times the destruction is slow and subtle. This is a part of their self-sabotage. They obsess so much in bad thinking and feeling that nothing goes right. This energy has to go somewhere, “so it stays home to roost”. These negative thoughts turn into masses of energy that manifests into the physical taking on a character or a personality that you have given it with your bad thinking. Millions of people love feeling victimized so a mass of energy is created to victimize them (the elenini). People don’t realize that they are doing witchcraft unto themselves.
If you feel that negative spirits are bothering you or you may have an elenini, then the first step is to look at your attitudes and character and make adjustments accordingly. You must begin to do inner work to resolve core issues. Give yourself a good spiritual bath or seek out a spiritual professional that can help you to get your life on track.

So now let’s get to the question, How and why does witchcraft work?
In the case of witchcraft, it is used to spiritually attack an unsuspecting person. Spiritual attacks work mainly to:
cause blockages and interference in the targeted person’s life;
cause chaos, strife, and misery to the targeted person’s life;
cut or tie the target off from the good and prosperous things in life;
block opportunities and blessings from entering targeted person’s life;
bring some kind of harm or ruin to the targeted person’s life;
breakup relationships/marriages;
cause accidents, violence, tragedy in the targeted person’s life;
bring loss and misfortune;
destroy business of rival competitor;
destroy the reputation of targeted person;
cause illness, insanity, and in some cases even death;
and the list goes on.
Why does witchcraft (black magic) work?
the target doesn’t know the needs of or how to strengthen their spirit guides/family and protectors. They may be too weak to fight back;
the emotional, mental, physical, and/or spiritual bodies of the targeted person may be weak;
low self-esteem and low self-image of target;
target is vulnerable in some way; weaknesses are exploited;
target is unsuspecting, unaware, and/or oblivious to the various aspects of life in general;
target is preoccupied with matters that redirects their attention from spiritual/religious obligations;
target lacks knowledge about the many invisible aspects of being human and the various ways in which one can be attacked;
target lacks access to the appropriate (experienced) spiritual elders/teachers, education, and know-how;
target is at a disadvantage in some way (the lack of resources, money, knowledge, and/or time);
target is spiritually neglectful and lacks a daily spiritual routine;
the enemy’s will to destroy is stronger than the target’s will to succeed and prosper;
target lives by false, foolish, and delusional beliefs like “if I don’t believe in it, it won’t work;”
target has no plans or goals and does not know what to do with his/her life;
and the list goes on.
There are many reasons why people gravitate toward witchcraft (black magic). Some of the main reasons are:
envy and jealousy;
power, control, and domination;
money, riches, and wealth;
love or lust;
selfishness;
influence or to be highly regarded;
to bring harm or destruction to someone’s life;
to destroy a target as a perceived threat;
to remove a competitor like in business, a contest, or a relationship;
Sometimes there is no reason. Some people (the enemy) are inherently evil. They will pick a target they don’t like and will spiritually attack that person just because;
and the list goes on.
I teach my students that witchcraft (black magic) is the vision, thoughts, or will of what someone (the enemy) wants to impose onto a targeted unsuspecting person through the use of spiritual means usually in the form of some sort of ritual.
For instance, you are in a happy relationship and someone (the enemy) decides that they want your partner. The enemy wants what you have. They want your life because they perceive it to be good. They don’t care that you worked hard and struggled for what you have. It becomes their thought and desire to use spiritual methods to cause problems in your relationship that could result in separation. Spirits can be placed in between you and partner to keep you from being close to one another and keep you from desiring one another. They will exert their willpower through spiritual efforts to influence your partner to feel as if they are missing something. Then the partner begins looking outside the relationship for someone believed to be more exciting.
The enemy will even look for weaknesses in the relationship to exploit like insecurities, communication issues, or lack of lovemaking. This is a classic example of a spiritual attack on a relationship. How would you protect your relationship from such a loss? Why should you lose your love and happy home just because someone else wants it? Why should you lose all you’ve invested in your relationship for someone else to reap the rewards and the benefits? Don’t settle for a life that someone else wants for you. Protection is key!
In witchcraft there are a variety of magical or spiritual items and techniques used to strengthen the vision (job) of what someone else wants to impose onto the unsuspecting person. Not to mention all kinds of spirit-assistance and sacred tools are used to ensure the vision (job) is carried out successfully. For those who read my book, you will recall that I was going through a bad time and the good spirits said to me, “this is not your life – this is the life that someone else wants for you.” Meaning, there were those who wanted to see me in a bad way.
So if you don’t have clear, concrete, and precise visions, goals or plans of how you want your life to go then someone else’s vision can take hold of your life. You will live the life that someone else wants for you. In retrospect, I realize that I was living my life without a solid spiritual plan of protection and because of my naivety the witchcraft was able to get to me. This happened to me at a young age and I didn’t know I needed to protect myself from spiritual impositions or other people’s thoughts.
If your thoughts or feelings about yourself are NOT positive and strong, if you don’t have clear direction for your life then the spiritual energy sent in witchcraft will find a way to seep in and break down the small dreams and goals that you do have. Witchcraft feeds off of the weak areas in your life like insecurity, low self-esteem, or lack of energy. It will also feed off of things like confusion, drama, fears, frustration, indecisiveness, illness, lack of integrity, lack of money, anger, doubt, or guilt. These are but a few examples.
For instance, if you are pessimistic and have consistent negative thoughts, it is easy for witchcraft or the bad spirits to feed off of your negative thoughts turning things from bad to worse. Not to mention, your negative thinking will make the witchcraft even stronger.
Again, let’s take a look at a love relationship. Say for instance you are in a relationship that’s going fine, then it appears out of no where things just seem to go bad. Witchcraft could be the cause? Of course, there are many reasons why a relationship can go bad but in the case of witchcraft, the energy or contracted spirit will seek out vulnerabilities in the relationship like deception, insecurity, jealousy, or arguing over silly things, etc., and eventually the witchcraft will gain enough strength to break the relationship apart. To avoid this, the persons involved in the relationship will need to protect the relationship and maintain strong visions of happiness, security, and longevity as well as be willing to nurture the relationship in all positive ways and communications in order to make it hard for the bad spirits or witchcraft to succeed.
To minimize the effects of such energies you must take a strong spiritual interest in yourself, in all the areas of your life, and in your loved ones lives. Think positive every minute, work to strengthen your character every day, cleanse your aura, and clear negative energy in your home to keep the vibrations high. There are many things that can be done. Small things such as daily spiritual practices, prayers, cleansings, and rituals can go a long way to minimize and neutralize any spiritual attacks, negative spiritual influences, or witchcraft coming from the enemy. It is better to do little things than to do nothing at all.
What is meant by spirit assistance?
When a person does what is called a “spiritual work” whether for good or evil, they will invoke help from the spirit realm to enforce the “work” being done. In the case of a spiritual attack, darker spirit force is usually called upon for a variety of reasons as stated above. Called by different names in different cultures, these types of attacks are initiated by people who gravitate toward what is known as black magic, brujeria, the dark arts, wanga, or witchcraft.
Spiritual attacks are horrible because they can cause a tremendous amount of damage and loss if not addressed immediately. Attacks can range from light and annoying to heavy and destructive. There are usually early warning signs that a “dark work” is in progress but most people are either oblivious or they shrug off their many challenges, hardships, or struggles as normal. They don’t pay attention and ignore the many signs of odd happenings. They don’t treat their issues as unnatural blockages created by an enemy. Usually by the time they realize they are being spiritually assaulted, life have turned upside down going from bad to worse by the day.
However, there is a constructive side. A spiritual attack will make you aware of areas in your life that need strengthening and protecting. It will show your weaknesses. Once these areas are disclosed, you will know exactly what parts of your life to fortify and protect.
This is why it is important to be in tune to what is happening in your life whether bad or good. You will want to stop any potential threats to your prosperity and protect yourself as early as possible so that all the good things meant for you will make it to your hands.
Enemies are relentless so it is imperative to protect yourself, your possessions, and all that’s meaningful to you right away. And although it is upsetting to be under attack, take the time to thank your enemies for giving you the opportunity to make yourself stronger and for the lesson learned.
“There are many areas in our lives that come under spiritual attack - areas that we may never think to protect. In my case, it was my website, “aladokun.com”. I had so many technical issues that, initially, I thought it was something that I was doing wrong. I couldn’t understand what was happening until one day my entire site went down. Years of information vanished. I went to my spirits to ask if there was a spiritual attack on my website and my spirits said, “yes.” I wanted to know who and the source of the attack. I asked the spirits, “do I know the person?” and the spirits said, “no.” I did my protection rituals right way. Then I contacted the hosting company and it was going to cost me a lot of money to get my site back up and running. I was pissed off and complained to my spirits that my enemies were causing me to have a financial loss and a shaky reputation which would cause people to have uncertainty about me. I was instructed to get an Ifa reading which I did immediately. The divination revealed that my site was under attack by someone that I didn’t know and that this person felt that I was the competition. They did a spiritual work to cause confusion so that potential clients would be uncertain about working with me. Needless to say, I did the prescribed ebo and after about 1 week, I heard the spirit tell me to call the hosting company again. I explained my situation and the agent was able to get my site back up and running at no charge. This experience taught me the additional areas of my life that needed protecting.”
