In the Akwaba Ibom state of Nigeria a struggle of life and death is played out every day in the evaBurning of three witches in Baden, Switzerland (1585)ngelical churches that dot the landscape of the semi rural areas around the oil rich yet impoverished land. This struggle is the same struggle that has been going on for hundreds of years. The concepts of the traditional initiatic cultures of the world continue to be demonized by an immoral and anti-spiritual movement.

Many people have heard of the witch hunts of Europe, where those accused of witch craft were burned or beheaded if found guilty. Would it surprise you to know that the same type of activity still goes on today? Would it surprise you even more to realize that people in the Akwaba Ibom state of Nigeria are now torturing and even killing their own children because their evangelical preachers accuse the children of witchcraft?

There is one man in particular called "The Bishop" who has admitted to killing up to 110 people. He claims that there are 2.3 million witches and wizards in Akwaba Ibom. This man regularly tortures small children and charges their parents over 200 dollars for the service. If the parents cannot pay, he holds the children hostage until they do. Many children are horribly mutilated by burning acid and other means to extract confessions. One girl had acid pured on her face and was buried alive.

This kind of behavior is associated with the concept of initiation into secret societies. This association is part of a well thought out program designed to destroy the spiritual practices of cultures that have histories that go back for tens of thousands of years. The spiritual practices of these cultures are so sacred and so pure, that they must be kept secret in order to protect their purity and sanctity. These same cultures once existed all over the world as far north as the arctic and on every continent in the world.

Please be cautious watching this video, it is not for the faint of heart. it is a well produced documentary of the plight of these children. Ultimately, this kind of persecution can result in wiping out the original cultures of whole regions of the most spiritually advanced people on the earth.

 I have traveled in areas of West Africa myself and I have heard stories of witchcraft. I have even seen people who claim to have been attacked by spells. Never have I heard of a natural born child of young age practicing the kind of witchcraft that these children are accused of. In point of fact, the practices of the so-called preachers are far closer to the kind of evil spells that these children have been accused of.

It is clear that there is more to the existence than the casual reader may know. The fear of witches and witchcraft that pervades many of the English speaking countries has gone beyond all reason. this unreasonable fear is like a corrosive and virulent disease that is destroying the fabric of the most deeply spiritual people of this earth.
