Baraka And Black Magic In Morocco

Product Information

The first time Salma consulted a shawafa, or witch, she went with friends on a lark, solely for entertainment. When the shawafa predicted that she would never get married, an outrageous thought for a Moroccan woman in her twenties, Salma brushed it off. The twenty-seventh night of Ramadan, then, is in the tradition of Moroccan witches and sorcerers, one of the most important annual dates. In their belief, the jinns (spirit) are imprisoned during the month of Ramadan and are only liberated at the end of it, and the jinns are one of the basic elements in all works of magic and sorcery. There’s a popular belief that on this night the handcuffed demons will be released, so they ask them to fulfill their needs in it. Others will watch the sky in the hope that it "opens", reserved for the wisest and the most fervently religious, so a halo would have appeared for a fraction of a second, just long enough to make a wish, and those who had the chance and the time to do so, saw their wishes come true, so nobody knows when the sky will open again, so they start praying from the 20th of Ramadan until the end, in what they call the last sacred 10 days of Ramadan. The queue is always there, we guess there must be some results, right? It is worth specifying that one session costs much less than a visit at a conventional doctors cabinet in Morocco. Chawafa/Chiwafa: Witches/sorceresses instead, are known as such.

Women who are unable to find a husband resort to spiritual consultation to solve their problems or simply act as an emotional outlet. Those who believe in the balance of forces will say "Logically, if the sky opens, it is an open door to higher forces, it will therefore allow as many angels as demons". Those who practice this "witchcraft" believe that shour (spell) will be stronger and more powerful on that night. The truth is that all magic is haram (prohibited) and only leads to bad ends,” Umm Omar told The Media Line. Moulay Abdellah Ben Hussain [3] is a Moroccan Muslim scholar who lived in the fourteenth Century in Tamesloht, a village not far from Marrakesh.
