Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

The New Orleans is known for the black magic and the voodoo in the old quarter. The public opinion is distributed when we talk about ten power of the black magic. Some say that it has tremendous powers and the other have no faith in it.

The black magic is considered as an art. It is still in practice in the United States. Here we will discuss its history in the United States and will come to know that how it has penetrated the modern world.

The history of black magic begins with the discovery of the New World by the Europeans and when they settled colonies in the newly discovered lands and started living there. Their salves mainly from Africa are thought to be responsible for the spread and popularity of the bad black magic in the today's world.


Majority of such black magic practices were banned in the colonies by the Puritans and these were considered to be the Satan worship. But, this restriction was not favored by the slaves and they continue the black magic practices to keep their ancient traditions alive with them. In this way, the black magic remained in the society in any of its forms.

The black magic was continued by the salves and they used to practice their skills in the night using bonfires and the animals were scarified during the worship. Various settlers were also influenced by this activity and they also involved in this practice secretly. They used to practice black magic to protect themselves in the night in their houses.

The Haitians follow the voodoo and take it as a religion. They sacrifice animals, and hang various protective talismans to practice voodoo.

Some people relate the black magic with the evil or demon practices whereas other say that it depends on its use. Therefore, it is up to the practitioner, how he utilizes the black powers.

That's all we have about the background of this controversial black magic in the United States and hope you will be interested to read more about this very strange magic practice.
