Bali has many traditional ceremonies and rituals that a visitor can observe and participate in.
Several months ago I was able to visit Besakih temple with 6 Balinese and give offerings. The experience was interesting and my friends were happy to show me how things were done.
One aspect of the Indonesian culture that you’re not likely to get to see is the practice of ‘black magic’ or witchcraft. When I talk to regular Balinese people they tell me they believe in black magic, although they don’t practice it. I’ve even seen items on the local tv news claiming things like ‘house used for practicing black magic’.
Recently I met someone from Java who admitted she practiced black magic and has studied it all over the country including Bali. She told me the black magic in Sumbawa was very strong.
For me of course the whole concept of spells and potions is something out of Scooby Doo and an vehicle for humor, but for a local its serious stuff. Small things like a chunk of garlic left over your front door can mean an angry ex partner is trying to cast a spell over you.
I asked my contact what she could use her black magic for and she said all kinds of things including attracting a partner, making bad luck for someone and finding out who has done bad things to you. She told me that here in Bali she and her husband were trying to sell a car for sometime without any luck. She took a trip to Java to visit her teacher who wrote a spell on a piece of paper ( for 100,000rp…knew that had to come up sooner or later). On returning to Bali she put the paper into a bucket of water and splashed the water over the car and both she and her husband had to drink some of the water. The paper was then placed in the glove compartment. After a week they had several people inquire and made a sale.
My contact said that many people across the country practice black magic but few will admit it and that she can, by observing how a stranger behaves determine whether they practice it.
As you’re reading this I’m busy sprinkling myself with water and chewing a piece of paper that says ‘new place to live’.

Zoinks! Find out how much the “attracting a partner spell” costs! Is there a volume discount?
Hey Shaggy, can you ask Black Magic Woman to pick 6 from 49 before wednesday and I’ll put it on for her.

G’Day Nick,
Stop chewing and find yourself a ‘Black Magic Woman’!
Knowing Nick’s taste for The Eagles, Barrie, it’s more likely to be a Witchy Woman.
Hehe, no amount of black magic could make Nick’s team win this morning in the Superbowl..
(sorry Nick, had to get one dig in.. )
Funny bunch of people!
Belinda the weather may be overcast. Today was sunny with afternoon clouds and some showers. You can still get good weather and i don’t think it will spoil your time here.
Dear Sir,
I am Avinash Rawal from New Delhi (INDIA). I have done
Reiki course of Ist ,IInd ,IIIrd and Mastership about
5 years ago and have done Magnify healing and since
then I have taken in attunement many times directly
and distant attunement and also attended many Reiki
classes with many Reiki grand Masters to get the flow
of Reiki in my body. But I don’t feel the energy flow
in my hands and body. There is blockage some where and
I feel blockage in many parts of my body. When ever I
tried to heal my self and others I feel some energy
pressure on my Crown Chakra and energy arounding on my
head but the energy does not flow in side and in to my
hands.
I shall be great full if you could help me out and
remove all blockage. Please let me know If you can
distant attunement or healing for me or Angel healing
or Angel reading for me or any thing else which will
cure me and remove all blockage.If you need my picture
for it I can send you by email.
Thanks & Regards
Avinash Rawal
