Spells, curses, hexes...
These things only have power if you believe they do.
Think about Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Nebuchadnezzar, etc...some of tha most hated men in tha history ..
On a slightly related note, after getting into these types of studies, it made me start thinking of our own presidents in the USA.
I'm fairly certain our own government has found a way to weaponize psychic warfare, using numerous *spirtual* tools like the ones mentioned in here.
That said, I have wondered for years now what kind of psychic defenses the government must have in place to protect the president, especially the most recent Obama and Trump.
I could see skilled practitioners using their abilities to astral project, conjure and the like to get at both of them through means that are not corporeal. Sure, we would not hear about this sort of stuff happening to a president, but I just don't see how it couldn't. I know those practicing darker magic would probably be overwhelmingly tempted to use their skills to harm these unreachable men in a way which makes them more accessible.
While it sounds crazy to average person, I'm guessing there must be something in place to guard the holder of that office - leader of the free world...I just wonder what it is.
