Hello dear readers, I have been in no mood recently. This has resulted my blog is not updated frequently. Besides, I have been busy with my Indonesian blog. Last time I posted two series of Indonesian anti-porn bill but now I am getting bored to that topic so I guess I will post the last part of bill some other time in the future. The last past is not that interesting to me again as it basically mentions articles in part two with additional penalty applied to each article. This time I’d like to introduce you Balinese black magic.

You may be familiar with terms such as Bali is island of thousands temple, island of gods and so on. Well, I want to add one term of my own, Bali is Island of Black Magic. This is true since black magic seems to be the integral part of Balinese people. It is not only practiced in Balinese daily life but also in their spiritual life. Here is what happens in Western world, if there is a crime it will involve guns etc, here in Bali black magic replaces the gun. So if you have problem with Balinese people, most likely you will be ’shot’ to death not by gun but by black magic. How does it work? Well I wish I knew the details.

The most dangerous black magic in Bali is called bebainan. I swear to Satan that I do not know how to translate this term in English. Bebainan is practiced by some Balinese black paranormal that aimed to kill the victim slowly but surely. It works using special spelling called mantras and normally it also need picture and the name of the victim. Once the mantras started to work, the victim will feel something is not right with her/himself such as easily get sick without clear causes. When he/she goes to hospital, they don’t even detect any medical problems. Sometimes, you will find a completely weird things in the victim’s stomach such as knife, fork, needles and the like. How would you explain scientifically if there is suddenly a fork in your stomach? The solution? Go to both places, priest and hospital. Go to the priest to neutralize the spell and also go to hospital to take the things out.

Other famous Balinese black magic is called Leak. It is not an accidental hole that allows something (fluid or light etc.) to enter or escape. Leak is Balinese traditional mystic practice which is originally aimed to heal people traditionally. But later Leak often has negative connotation. It is a magic practice that enable Balinese people to turn him/herself into another being such as animals. A Balinese leak expert could easily change him/herself into monkey, for instance.
