Indonesian black magic practitioner casts hex on Bush
A prominent Indonesian black magic practitioner on Thursday joined protests against US President George W Bushs 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 Yudhoyono 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 Bushs visit. My curse will make him bloat like broccoli. Bush will feel unease during the visit, he said. Asked if he was confident the hex would work, Pamungkas said: Ive put voodoo curses on white men in Indonesia before, and they all died. Posted by: Fred 2006-11-17 |
