  • If you're a witch you're basing your goodness and morality on what? Where's your moral atmospheric air pressure? It's now where!

  • What is so doggone "bad" about Witchcraft? Witches are very friendly people, abide by a code of ethics, and never commit evil acts without full knowledge of the consequences - what is sent comes back Threefold.

    At least the Zulus realize this!

  • I can guess that Wiccas aren't invited here.

  • ok lemmme git dis str8t. The WITCHDOCTOR can use charms, potions, and magick, or voodoo. However, others cannot? that is really bullshit

  • @Evangelist616

    So why are you here on this particular post trying to figure out what the so called Melantate/Negroid/Planetary/Da­rk Matter people who've been on the earth for millions of years while you the caucasoid virus has only been here traceable for up to 6,000 years. You cannot even trace your genetic code. We are black because we are composed of DARK MATTER which holds up the planets. MELANIN. in any case your virus is trying to evolve and mix with Melanated soon you spawn from Nigger

  • @WonderWomanFan4life I fucking HATE niggers.

  • I was raised in a family tradition of Witchcraft which goes back many generations. I am a normal person. You would never know it. Im 26 year old guy and a college student and have lots of friends. we are like everyone else. we dont harm people. just we tell fortunes (give readings) to help people if they need council. and sometimes we use spells to cause positive change in our lives. we are NOT wiccan. wicca was born in the 1950's. we are Traditional Witches. but i respect Wiccans.

  • @taliesin939939

    KOOL!! glad to know you!

  • i can see that he doesnt even try to put the device on her hand.he just picks one out.they are all somehow guilty of witchcraft so,,,,btw do we have to say guilty?

  • @witchcerridwen I noticed that too, he never touched the device to the "Guilty" ones finger

  • Pure ignorance!!

  • why does everyone think we witches are evil we do not all harm we are regular people who seek the same things in life as anyone else but we are persecuted because the way we seek it because its what we believe and what we follow what ignorance

  • @13341a Yes I agree. Well.. people are ignorant. We should try to show people by example that we are good people. there is nothing to fear from us. What tradition do you come from? Are you Wiccan or what? I am not wiccan, but i respect that form of witchcraft. I follow traditional witchcraft which in family tradition. i also use various other forms of magic. in a sense, i like to blend different systems.

  • @taliesin939939 Have you found Jesus?

  • @Evangelist616 I dont believe in your religion. have you found the Buddha?

  • @taliesin939939 I thought Bhuddist's try to find enlightenement.

    So surely you're trying to find Bhudda as well?

    I wish no quarrel. But i alsowish to see no two religions fight over their faith when they have both found paths that make them happy.

  • hail witches:) god is dead

  • UGGGGGGGGGGGG  more religious ignorance

  • me name is katonk,me through rock.ugh.this is what happens without education

  • Idiots...the real witches are the witch cleansers and those who perform witch-testing rituals.

  • Selene shall greet her zenith when the sun sets in the water and then we shall reign. . . .

    Wicca is better then Christianity

  • More ignorance....witches are good, friendly people who use there magic for good. Yes there are witches who use magic for evil but that magic dooms them.

  • padre el video me gustaria en español

  • Very intresting.

  • It's kind of cool to see a primitive civil service pop up in places where people live so close for so long and develop disputes. The people know and don't care that the Witch Cleanser and his show is a sham, it's a necessary device that formed for small communities to let off steam, much like all religious rituals and proto-government structures, gaining in complexity as the civilization expands.

    What's not cool is when they kill eachother over it.

  • That wouldn't balance on my finger. *giggles*

  • hell yeah...this is what we need...a cleanser who can screw up david blain

  • Christianity is toxic slime.

  • Yea because it teaches forgiveness and love.

  • As does wicca.

  • Forgiveness and love at the cost of human lives and domination. We didn't forget the Inquisition and the Slave Trade! However, this is hard for me to beleive.

  • Let's hang all the witchhunters and toss all the christians to the lions - the sooner, the better!

  • lol therye using the world of warcraft dun morogh music...but this vid was interesting too

  • Ahah! I wasn't the only one that noticed it!

  • I burn the power of all witches in the name of Jesus Christ that from this day forward all evil spells or curses will be shown all over your body and will come back to yourselves - in the name of Jesus Christ. For you have NO POWER - ONLY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!! God bless those who love and accept Jesus Christ..

  • i believe in spirits...im a little freaked out to start spells though actually...it make's too many people i know uneasy.

  • WE GOTS A CRUSADER ON OUR HANDS :D

  • WE GOTS A CRUSADER ON OUR HANDS :D

  • lol that made my day

  • in all the religions i know and read in history none is more wicket, more abominable, destructive, contradicting, the easiest to prove wrong, and most likely to be nothing more then an old tool for brain washing and mind control then the religions that follow jesus christ. thats my response to your um..."spell" i guess is what you meant to do.

    and thats all i have to say about that.

  • Ur no different from a Christian bashing another religion,or a muslim.

  • @zakiusUK-

    I jerked off watching passion of christ. Do I get blessed from a lie?

  • Blessing is not earned rather a gift.

  • fail

  • true lol vi hope ur notone of them Ha

  • who wud put this in their favorites.....SAD

  • lol 70 sad people

  • Maybe because it's interesting? I have it in a playlist about witchcraft and philosophy.

  • this makes me sick to my stomach...

  • We must Bring Back Witch Burning!!

  • What about Samael Aun Weor who believes there are esoteric occult teachings hidden within the bible?

  • when in doubt...  BURN 'EM!!!!!!

  • What about Asatru and Odnism?

  • BURN 'EM!!!!!

  • Kool!

  • Inquisition?

  • It's scary how fear can make otherwise intelligent, sensible people lose their minds. It's easier to place the blame on "witchcraft" then disease, over-farming, or relationship problems. For Christians, it's the Devil. For the Nazi's, it was the Jews. Here, and in many other poor, largely illiterate places, it's witchcraft. It's not the belief in magic that's the problem (I'm a witch myself); it's when you let your beliefs make you a fanatic. These people are lucky they weren't killed.

  • You're being incredibly self-righteous, judgemental, and ethnophobic. You can't compare a culture's religious practice to a historical genocide. Think about it.

  • It's not the practice itself I'm speaking of, but the mindset of blaming problems on magic. Of course it's different! But there are places where these 'witches' would be killed even without a confession. Thankfully, these people wouldn't. I wasn't really directing my comment at them.

    I'm not sure exactly how you interpreted my comment, but I am none of those things. I plan on becoming an anthrolpologist and studying ancient cultural practices that have survived into modern times.

  • what a bunch of bs. at least some religions have gotten rid of this crap. otherwise i'd be burning at the stake for heresy

  • rofl imagine practising that in some corporate office

  • The chief is a fool. Keep it up with the witchcraft to find witchcraft and he won't have anybody left to kiss his behind.

  • Crazy how most people confess too it you think they would be alot more scared too

  • Stupid religious CRAP!!!

  • um...ok

  • This guy is really running BS Central down there isn't he?

  • I need my ass cleansed, do you think he could help??...lol

  • lol

  • This "witch" trails are nicer then European.

    Here all you have to do is confess to the public and put a "magic charm" in fire.

    But in europe you got burned.

  • lol very true

  • They're alot more lenient on commies too, especially in Zimbwawe.

  • no wolfsnake wasn't talking about things within the mind of a singular person. he/she was talking about belief resulting in physical manifestation in reality.

    just doesn't happen.

    our beliefs might affect our perception of reality, but they don't change reality even slightly

  • 2:57 the guy looks like don ramon from chovo del 8 o_0.

  • There was a story about the salem witch trials. I can't remmeber everything, but it was something like if the person was thought to be a witch. They were thrown into a river if they went under then they were not a witch, but if they survived the river than they were a witch and killed. Not much as changed.

  • facinating.

  • to all the people who think that this is opressing their freedom of religion.

    you have to know that witchcraft is different in zimbabwe than it is in the western world.

    it's not wicca and earth worship and tarot cards.

    in zimbabwe people get killed by witch doctors

    often times the witch doctor will abduct a street child, kill the child, then put a part of the body under the house of someone they are cursing.

    witchcraft is a very real danger all throughout africa

  • Sounds like something the Catholic church would do.

  • i think Haiti has it worse

  • I am glad to see people of intelligence like yourselves, Klittle123 and WolfSnake77!!

  • wat happened to freedom of following the religion YOU want?

    this makes me angry

  • 1.their in a 3rd war country so not a lot of freedom

    2.witchcraft isnt a religion

  • hmmm yes it is.

  • ummm no it isnt...its a myth

  • urban legend*

  • dude yetipoop, are you retarded? witchcraft or wicca is a registered world religion. just like satanism.

    p.s. the term is 3rd WORLD country not 3rd war country

  • well actually all religions imo are "urban legends" my point was that it was just recognized as one.

  • dude see how fake that was..the lady that was a witch lol..it looked fixed

  • on the girl with the beanie he didnt even TRY to balence it on her and just kept missing on purpose

    gg

  • smart man, but is he doing the right things

  • nice gadget,where can i buy that balancing stuff witch detector?

  • If you believe that magick and vampires are real, then they are real. If you believe magic and vampires are just nonsense then it is nonsense. Reality is defined by the individual.

  • so if i say that truck coming directly for me on the street isn't real, than it won't kill me if i step in front of it.

    relativism is the biggest cop out in human history.

    it is for morons who don't accept life and consequence

  • Just because you can not understand the point I attempting to make, does not make me wrong or prove I don't take responsibility for my action. It just means your thinking is limited.

  • no, it means you're wrong.

    reality is %100 substantial and real.

    there are no relative truths.

    If something is true, it is true for anyone,

    denying that is denying simple human logic

  • So since you understand 100% truth settle a question for the world then. Is homosexuality a natural part of the human condition, or is the immoral choice of degenerates ?

    I apologize to anyone in the gay community offended by statement, but I hope you can understand the point I'm trying to get across.

  • In my point of view there nothing wrong with homosexuality so in my perception of reality there is also nothing wrong with it.

    Reality at times is nothing more then the consensus of the majority.

  • homosexuality as we understand it now is caused by a mixture of upbringing and biology.

    that's completely beside the point though.

    we're talking about truth here

    just because you delude yourself into thinking something is true or not true doesn't make it so.

    truth is defined by reality not by the individual.

  • You poor poor creature. What a narrow and dull little world you must live in. Having all you will ever know or perceive decided by people you never know. I feel sorry for you.

    "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" Hassan-i Sabbah

  • what ever man,

    you can meditate and wish all you wan't but reality is already determined.

    all you new agers reap the benefits of science but never acknowledge it's basic principles.

    the universe is defined by simple laws, there is nothing you can do to change it.

    start living like a real adult and get out of imagination land

  • Your make a lot of asumptions. You basically say I'm lazy and foolish because I don't share your beliefs. You seem to be a "Thought bigot". I have very good paying job, and a great family, plus I make the house payment on time.

  • and I'm sure you're a great guy.

    but all modern logic and science would suggest that you are completely wrong about the idea of relative truth

  • haha, post-modernist rubbish, these witchdoctors haven't been respected for centuries (as healers etc) because the tribal people were so deluded they 'imagined' they had special powers, they either did or they didn't...

  • From what Wolfsnake said, I have to agree. This is hypocrisy.

  • dude this isnt N ANIME VIDEO AND WHO CARES GO WATCH ANIME ON THE TV?

  • Much more civilized than the Youtube community, I think.

  • LOL so true.

  • At the 1:09 mark you can tell the witch cleanser made sure that his device would not balance on that womans finger.

    Also could not the witch cleanser be considered a witch him self ?

  • yeah, it was like, um you never gave her a chance...w/e i still think witchcraft is a very interesting topic =D

  • They spend their time hunting witches and they probably wonder why they are a 3rd world nation.

  • You shoud'nt make fun of them, christianity is even more rediculious.

  • And that is why I am an atheist. The bible "talks" about witches, magic and unicorns. I am stumped as to why people take such a book seriously.

  • I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, but where in the Bible does it talk about unicorns?

  • Here is just a few. I think there is about 10 references to unicorns.

    psalm 22: 20-22

    numbers 24:8

    deuteronomy 33:17

    psalm 29:6

  • kingmike40, all ur biblical references refer to oxen, not unicorn

    there's a difference AFAIK

  • It depends on which version of the bible. The New International Version uses oxen. The King James Version uses unicorn. I guess they edited the bible so it wouldn't seem so much like a fairy tale.

  • I wonder what the hebrew says..

  • that's assuming the King James is the correct translation

  • whats "rediculious" is your spelling.

  • Don't you mean "what's"?

  • that isnt a spelling error. just like "isnt" isn't.

  • You are missing some capitalization, and punctuation. It's ok, god will save you. Or maybe a unicorn.

  • Interesting... Hey you shouldint make fun of there beliefs.

  • Looks alright to me.

    The world would be a much better place if most people would just mind there own business.

    Agreed?

  • It looks like he was trying to make it not balance on the girls finger...

  • He probably does, but they said that most people "confess" regardless of whether or not they're guilty, so it always looks like it works. Plus, the people over there grew up with their beliefs passed on from their parents, so they wouldn't look at it with such a cynical eye.

  • he's a witch too then!!

  • so they bring that guy into rip them off. I know there has to be some type of payment.

  • i love NG thanks for the video

  • KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

  • STFU u stupid bigot. at least they were not burned to a stake u douche bag.

  • Admit your "gilt" or face exile (or death). That reminds me of something... and did you all see how that "witch cleanser" missed that woman's finger on purpose? She looked shocked and surprise. No wonder. What an idiotic society! poor people...

  • nice name, yeah i totally agree although it isnt really our place to call it idiotic, i think it would be better described as ill-educated.

  • they are witches people, better believe it. whether in the USA, New Zealand or North

    korea. Just pray you don't get bewitched. Or haven't you people bothered to check the meaning of that. Whether its Hollywood or Big corporate giants, withches bewitch. figure it out for yourself.

  • Guess you better stay on his good side or you're screwed

  • theres no such thing as magic. Most little kids can tell you that. I just wonder whether that witch cleanser guy knows that hes conning those people or if he actually believes hes got some kind of voodoo powers.

  • You're an uneducated fool, yourself, if you believe there's no such thing as magic.

  • You're the uneducated fool if you believe in magic. Do you believe in Hogwarts and Vampires also? just curious how far gone you are.

  • ah, but didnt Jesus supposedly perform miracles? technically, some of what he did would be considered magic. Walking on water, perhaps?

    I have no desire to watch or read anything of Potter. Ever. No vamps, sorry.

    But you're still a fool.

  • You're a fool if you think there is no such thing as magic? Well, skeptic magazine has offered a prize of $1,000,000.00 for anyone who could do anything magic or supernatural. And, as any "fool would guess, after 10 years the prize is still unclaimed.

  • Exactly, mother fucker.

    Magic. OH NO! ADAVRA KEDAVRA! I R DED LOLZ!

  • Bitch cleanser.

  • My favorite overused plot is when the hero (a rogue Orthodox Rabbi) sets off on a quest to find the Rashi's Lost Tzitsis. Along the way, he is distracted by a ethically challenged Gemara salesman, pursued by a woman who wants to hug him despite the fact that she's never been to a mikveh, and is finally rendered treyf by a mad scientist who turns his Pork Ray on him. He does get the girl, at the end, because she inherits a sheitel that once belonged to Catherine the Great

  • .....Is this serious?This witchcraft is BS.Dumbasses need to evolve and advance with the rest of us.

  • I see by your comment that you are ignorant and close minded.

  • Arynidius - It does look like BS. However, there is quite a few of them, mostly women, in North America. It is beyond common sense and logic. Just search for the word "witch" and you'll be surprised.

  • So during a serious drought, they will banish all the rainmaker and weather witches?

    Hmm, That doesn't sound too smart at all.

  • What makes this different (much better) than the recent National Geographic videos on exorcisms and ghosts is that this is anthropology, and the other two were merely pseudoscience. It is important to denote the difference, and even more important to notice the difference.

  • It reminds me of "The Crucible"

    Witch!

  • My Dog loves me

  • I would worship your dog before I worship your god.

  • it's good that you belive in a god of love, but there are other things outside that can only be understand whit an opend mind

  • Not that long ago Christians did the same thing. There are still superstitious people in the western world who deny evolution or use the bible as a source of morality.

  • they do, but some liberal hollywood treehugger called it ethnic cleansing.

  • Haha, I love it how throughout history people have sought to explain the world and how it works in a spiritual or metaphysical way. NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW THE TRUTH. NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO PROVE OR DISPROVE ANYTHING.

  • True, but the beliefs of the people who do have faith in the supernatural should still be respected, if not believed. The spiritual beliefs at least make for some interesting stories.

  • The salem witch trials were very interesting. Stupid useless waste of time and killed many hundred of people just out of shear superstition.

  • Salem Witch trials only killed about thirty but your point remains. Funny we were at the same place only 320 years ago.

  • I grouped the witch trials of europe in with the ones in early america. The europeans would kill a witch if the weather wasn't to their benefit. The little ice age and superstition killed a lot of people.

  • We laugh at these duped natives, using silly useless spells to get the things they want.

    Then watch our neighbors go off to church to offer silly useless prayers for things they want, and don't notice the connection.

  • yea. but these people seem to actually forget when they forgive. kinda makes me jealous. makes me wonder who actually is more "advanced".

  • wazzat ?? advanced??

    ( not so far as we all think ... )

    (or fail to think )
