frenzy witchcraft

    Article

    Frenzy witchcraft is a form of witchcraft associated with the use of narcotic plants and “love magic” and is different than witchcraft associated with the “wolf” or other were-creatures. Frenzy witchcraft is often used to increase people's success of bewitching another human being in order to obtain favorable results with potential sexual partnership, for example, or when gambling. It causes people to become frenzied, or altered in their mental capacities, a state facilitated by the ingestion of sacred datura.
