What Is Black Magic?

Positives and negatives affect our lives, and these are more than mere states of mind. When we go to a sacred place such as a temple, it fills us with love and respect for the almighty. Everything makes sense and we feel part of this Brahmand, that is the universe.
However, our universe is beyond that. The Vedas describe the universe as a dynamic interplay of various forces and energies, both positive and negative, that shape the cosmic order. So, if there is positive energy, then there is negative energy as well. One such manifestation of negative energy is the practice of black magic.
It is known at different places by different names such as witchcraft in Western traditions, karni, kala jadu and totka popularly.
The effects of black magic are detrimental. A person under the influence can literally do anything. It can make a victim go insane, commit suicide, misfortune and whatnot.
Traits That You May Find Due to the Influence of Black Magic
If you see the following traits in yourself or someone close to you, then it could be due to the influence of black magic:
- Change of face colour, for instance, turning pale yellow. Sudden change of behaviour of a person.
- Despite things going well in life, you will feel a void and sadness.
- Thoughts of isolation, a feeling of cutting ties with family and staying alone along with having suicidal thoughts.
- Frequent tensions at home like fights, sudden loss of money, sleep disturbances or not being able to sleep at all. The unexpected and untimely death of a family member can also indicate the presence of black magic.
- Not only native, but the presence of negative energy also affects the other aspects of the home as well such as the sudden dryness of Tulsi leaves among other things.
- Any unusual activity in the surrounding area such as the presence of lemons, kumkum, nails, ash among others.
Generally, people who lack faith such as atheists, have poor or no ideological basis and have tamasic traits such as drinking, smoking, and prostitution are more prone to fall under the trap.
In order to cure the effects of black magic completely, it is important to understand what kind of magic the victim is under the spell of. On seeing an unusual thing near your place, seek help from an astrologer. Seeing one’s horoscope can be useful here, like the presence of a disturbed moon, ascendent or moon under Rahu’s influence.
Also, one should practice mediation. After all, aggression is the best form of defence, making yourself strong, focused and calm, which will automatically neutralise the opposing forces.
Role of Vedic astrology
Vedic astrology deals with planets, houses, nakshatras, and signs among other things. It directly does not deal with black magic, but still, it can help. For instance, natives with strong horoscopes are generally less vulnerable to the influence of black magic. But natives who have weak horoscopes or have malefic planets easily fall prey to evil spirits and the influences of black magic.
Also, horoscopes talk about the aura of the individual. Just like planets, individuals with strong auras are less likely to get possessed by an evil spirit or prone to black magic. For example, saints are difficult to conjure since they have auras that are stronger than the energy of evil entities.
Besides, another way in which reading horoscopes can be helpful is when it is able to explain the negative or unfortunate events in the life of a native for instance in terms of Mahadasha, Rahu and Ketu conjunction among others, in that case, the individual may not be under the influence of black magic.
However, when it is not able to explain the events in the life of the native, for example, the horoscope indicates good prospects such as wealth accumulation, and good health but the native is facing the opposite, it shows the underlying influence of black magic at play.
Sometimes, all you need is a little faith to deal with problems you do not know about. Having strong values, being rational in approach and most importantly as Vedas says “By surrendering to God and seeking refuge within, one can dispel negative energies and find relief. Through devotion, prayer and adherence to virtuous principles, His divine grace shields us from harm while purifying our bodies resulting in spiritual upliftment and protection from negative forces.”
