Indonesian Casts A Hex On Bush

[north_malaysian]

BOGOR: A prominent Indonesian black magic practicioner yesterday joined protests against US President George W. Bush's visit, slaughtering animals as he cast a spell aimed at disrupting the stay.

The ritual by Ki Gendeng Pamungkas took place at a busy roundabout in this hill town which will host talks between Bush and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhiyono on Monday.

Pamungkas said the ritual, which involved killing a snake, a black crow and a goat, deployed "Haitian-style voodoo because Indonesian black magic does not work on foreigners".

Smearing his face with a mixture of his own blood and that from the slaughtered animals into which broccoli and sugar cane was also cast, Pamungkas offered prayers to "Satan", who will bring disasters on Bush's visit.

"My curse will make him bloat like broccoli. Bush will feel unease during visit," he said.

Asked if he was confident the hex would work, Pamungkas said:

lol i was actually watching as he done it, he slaughtered something and smeared the blood on his face. I found it hilariously disturbing ;D :uuh: <--- kind of like that

I personaly am very disturbed over any rituals that involve blood sacrifices and prayers to Shaytan.

On second reading I agree with you. Interesting bit of information. But, probably not really something that is not a World Affair.
