Voodoo is basically an actual religion and it encompasses a lot more than black magick. Most of it is actually about getting in touch with god and your ancestors, the cursing thing is mostly because of pop culture, but those rituals do exist and there is a segment of the population that practices them. Believing that everybody who is into voodoo is into that is an exaggeration.
What people call black magick, is about causing changes in the external world that normally would be unlikely to happen. This can be done through the channel that one finds most appropriate. For me, I use the Ars Goetia, which is a grimoire of demons who are said to be ancient, which was first published in the 17th century. I called upon a couple and my life got fukked up for a while, then about a year later, I've basically had everything I've ever wanted, for this age and this point in my life, anyways. Sometimes, an entity will want your raw suffering as payment, or they will live vicariously through you and your vices and draw upon your energy and pleasure in exchange for your services, rewarding you with even greater energy and pleasure. I still want to see what happens in the long long term, but I really don't care what happens because technically, I've cheated death before and shouldn't be alive right now anyways.
If you want to get a specific woman, that shyt's never worked for me. It goes back to 'lust of result.' But if you want to say, have more sex with more attractive women, yeah, it works. The key is to not get too hyper-focused on the result, take something vague and abstract, and slowly will it into reality, through various methods. Sometimes, it literally just takes willpower.
A lot of people in history who were very influential never explicitly practiced this kind of thing, but Einstein is famous for having said things like"god doesn't play dice" and "Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper." Buckminster Fuller believed in a natural order to the universe and said, "I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process—an integral function of the universe." Even if these people were never in any order or whatever, that's very deep insider knowledge, that they likely discovered themselves on their own spiritual paths, and used to direct their destiny.
I don't really like talking about this shyt in public like that, but I'll post one more example. A$AP Rocky has extremely obvious symbolism in his video for 'Wassup,' and a full blown ritual on camera, which was before he really blew up.
Musicians can literally get away with this shyt, because people will say, "oh, he's just being artsy, or using it for symbolism." He frames it as a nightmare at the end of the video. Even so, literally setting all that shyt up, drawing out all those symbols, lighting all those candles, and placing yourself physically in the middle of it, you don't think it'll actually have an effect? Ty Beats accused this dude of being a witch during a twitter rant, after his girlfriend died in a car crash. Everyone said he was crazy for the other things he was saying, but this kind of thing is more widespread than most think. Kevin Gates has basically publicly admitted to doing voodoo multiple times (which, again, involves much more than just cursing). I highly doubt that this is limited to music, which is just one part of human life, anyways, as dope as it is. I just think that it's one of the only lanes where people can do it in public and not get questioned, so long as it's disguised as 'art.'
That's all I'll say for now.
