Cyber Cauldron

Even as a small child I had a big interest in magicks and witchcraft, from TV programs like bewitched, Tabitha, I dream of Genie, etc to Hammer Horror films about witches even today I still like films like The Craft, Witches etc.

But I always see them as good entertainment rather than a practical skill for the craft but the interest in magicks and power has always remained, so the soon as I hear the words, witch, pagan or magicks on the TV or Radio I turn my attention to it not just for entertainment but also for educational purposes.

Now over the last few years (decades) we have allsorts of programs on witches and witchcraft. Although many are crap sometimes a little gem will pop up. Now I have been trying to avoid the subject of African witchcraft not though a squeamish feeling and the fact much of the rubbish spouted is from Christians is that is not one of my areas of expertise and I was not sure how to deal with it.

Now the other day I hear the words witchcraft and prostitution in the same sentence from the TV so I turned my head and it was a program of the sex trade from Nigeria. I sat down and watched now the one thing I saw was belief that these people had in traditional magicks now rightly or wrongly their beliefs trapped them in a contact that would last for seven years plus.

Now I could not decide whether the priest had done anything wrong they preformed a ritual for protection and included in the ritual was a pledge that the woman would pay back the cost of travel to Europe which was about €50,000.

Now the one thing I felt was the people taking and recruiting these young where using the strong belief in magicks to trap the girls.

Now as I looked at African witchcraft once again I saw nothing more impressive that a traditional cultural craft now it’s not down to me to discuss the value of African witchcraft as it a cultural craft and as I am not part of that culture.

But it did give me a greater understanding of the beliefs of that culture. So much so I felt that I could tackle the issues of child abuse in the name of Christianity. There has not been much in the press on the subject for sometime but that does not mean it has not gone away. Thousands of children have been abused and murdered because the have been accused of being witches and wizards. No not in the 15^th / 16^th century but today and for the last few years because of the words of a Helen Ukpabio who claims that Satan has the ability to manifest himself in the bodies of children by demonic possession and make them become his servants in the form of ‘witches’ or ‘wizards’.

Her video basically give reasons and signs which basically make every child one of these witches or wizards, so open to abuse tortured, starved and murdered: all in the name of Jesus Christ.

Now the first thing we have to understand is Nigeria is a very poor place so survival can be difficult and Africans believe that any ill fortune is caused by witchcraft, which can leave them looking for someone to blame.

Christians priest who gain money from protecting people from witches often accuse children of being witches. Now children have no power to say they’re are not a witch. Now the priest will charge a family a year’s money so they can abuse a child in the name of Jesus Christ.

Any child accused of being a witch can be abandoned or killed. Nigerians have such a strong belief in witchcraft that fear of witches and wizards that they do not see children when they are beating, torturing, staving them to death.

I am going to include a link to a documentary http://www.channel4.com/programmes/dispatches/4od#3008630 so you can watch but it is very distressing as it contain scenes, which will make you cry. But please don’t believe that this witchcraft hunt and the abuse of children is just contained to Nigeria cases of abuse in the name of witchcraft have been recorded in Nigerian communities in the UK and USA and in other countries around the world by followers of Helen Ukpabio and Liberty Foundation Gospel Ministries (http://libertyfoundationgospelministries.org ).

This Christian exploits local superstitious beliefs, particularly those related to spiritual or demonic possession or witchcraft along with her followers. The government in Nigeria is not really that bothered about the suffering of these children.

Now it been sometime since we heard anything on the subject of child witches and their abuse in Nigeria so did it all stop sadly no it has not. No body has ever been prosecuted for the abused, murder children accused of witchcraft. Now although the idea of this may shock but the Nigerian governor says abuse of child ‘witches’ exaggerated (http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/08/30/nigeria.child.witchcraft/index.html ) he claims that for the last 3 years the same children have been put up as abused witch children and those charities like http://www.steppingstonesnigeria.org/ are doing it for financial means.

Now I have seen other documentaries that have been created on witch children and the abuse that they receive one based in the UK. People like Helen Ukpabio and Liberty Foundation Gospel Ministries have found away to exploit poor and fearful people not only do they take their money but they abuse and kill children in the name of a man who believed in love and kindness Jesus Christ now.

Now as a witch I have learnt that fear can cause people to harm others in our own history witches where killed through fear and ignorance nearly all where adults who could fight back.

We as a people said we would never let the burning times return we fought for rights slowly returning to the world head held high broomsticks in hand. It now time to shine a light on the darkness and expose the evil of Helen Ukpabio and Liberty Foundation Gospel Ministries and all those that harm children.

We need to question what is going on and force people to act against harming children everywhere
