It is time to stamp out the utter and barbaric tosh being peddled by occult practitioners, through the harshest punishment possible. Also, it is usually women who bear the brunt of these heinous and reprehensible beliefs, as the wicked prey on the vulnerable.

The woman is believed to be the ‘honour’ of the family. This edit has highlighted honour killings, wherein the woman is the target. She is branded a witch, in some instances. At other times, she is a harbinger of bad luck and misfortune, and must be banished from the home or done away with altogether. At times she must be sacrificed to appease some spirit, and at other times she is the evil spirit incarnate herself. The abhorrent list goes on. The people spinning these lies are not just misguided practitioners, but are cold-blooded killers; and even if they do not murder people, they are spreading extremely dangerous practices. Let science be your guiding light and let the conmen and criminals face the full weight of justice, a weight that should crush these crimes completely.
