It must have been Baron Samedi or something (it's that time of year again, yeah?). The MAGA Shaman's a Viking and he's white. I had to watch this 5 or 6 times! So damn funny!
Devil's advocate: if some weirdo came up to me, said some schizophrenic shit, and started lunging at me with a bag of powder, I'd back away from him too.
While searching for information about what Somalis believe in , I stumbled across this forum where they are talking about those things. Could be a fun place to learn ?somaliaonlineforum
In Somali culture, which is deeply rooted in Islam (predominantly Sunni with Sufi influences), beliefs in the supernatural — including black magic (sihr), jinn (supernatural beings), and the evil eye (ayn or hasad) — are widespread. These are not seen as mere superstitions by most Somalis but as real spiritual threats acknowledged in Islamic teachings.
The primary fears associated with black magic (sihr) revolve around its ability to cause harm through invisible, destructive means, often involving jinn. Somalis commonly fear the following specific aspects:
1. Jinn Possession or Harassment
Many Somalis attribute mental health issues, unexplained illnesses, sudden behavioral changes, nightmares, or physical symptoms (like fainting, hysteria, or chronic pain) to jinn possession or jinn being sent via sihr.
Black magic practitioners are believed to summon or control evil jinn to invade a person's life, home, or body — causing chaos, illness, marital problems, or even death. Stories often describe jinn being "sent" to destroy lives, leading to intense fear of possession, which is treated through ruqya (Quranic recitation) rather than medical means alone.
2. Hidden or Food-Based Attacks
A major fear is sihr being secretly placed in food or drink (e.g., a family member or enemy feeding someone enchanted items). This is seen as a sneaky, betraying way to inflict long-term damage — ruining marriages, health, success, or causing family discord — without the victim knowing until symptoms appear.
3. The Evil Eye (Often Linked to or Worsened by Sihr)
While the evil eye is distinct (harm from envy or admiration), it's frequently feared alongside sihr because it can open the door for worse afflictions like jinn entry. Somalis may avoid compliments, hide successes, or cover faces while eating to ward it off, as it's believed capable of causing illness, failure, or even fatal harm through jealousy.
4. Destruction of Life Aspects
Overall, the deepest fear is sihr's power to inexplicably ruin key areas of life — such as:
Marriages (separating couples or preventing them)
Health and mental well-being
Financial success or prosperity
Family harmony
This leads to paranoia about hidden enemies, envy, or even family members practicing it.
These beliefs are reinforced by community stories, religious teachings, and traditional healers (often called cilaaj or wadaads), who perform protective rituals, amulets, or exorcisms. While some Somalis view these fears as overly superstitious or detrimental (e.g., delaying medical treatment), they remain prevalent, especially in attributing misfortunes to supernatural causes.
Protection typically comes from strong faith, regular prayers, Quranic recitations (like Ayatul Kursi or morning/evening adhkar), and trusting that nothing happens without Allah's permission.
That was worth the price of admission. Kek!
