hello my friends in stemian I will tell you about a little belief about the unseen world so I will explain one by one this is the explanation.
Recently, police in Guinea, Africa arrested a shaman for allegedly tricking hundreds of women into believing they were pregnant. The mode with mythical rituals n'na fanta Camara, the name of the suspect, targeting women who never have a baby. To his patients, he gives a herb that consists of leaves, herbs, and other traditional medicinal ingredients - that make their stomach bulge like pregnant.
As quoted from the BBC on Saturday (20/1/2018), patients pay money of US $ 33 or Rp 439 - a large amount in a country where the average worker earnings US $ 48 or Rp 639 thousand.
Police believe Camara makes tens of millions of dollars a month, even though she argues, she just wants to help.
well that's the first about the dukun suspected can make pregnant women.
On Tuesday, more than 200 women staged a demonstration in front of the police station in the capital city of Conakry. That's where Camara was arrested.
A total of 700 women, from the age of 17-45 years, were reported as victims of the mystical ritual of the shaman.
"It's been a year since he showed off his nose," said one of the demonstrators.
He confessed, the shaman assured him that the concoction he was given was efficacious.
After consuming the concoction, his stomach was crawling. "The offender checked our stomach, just holding it, and stated that we were pregnant," said the unnamed woman.
Camara warned her patients not to see a doctor. He also asked for chicken and cloth as a thank you.
A number of women reportedly looked like they were pregnant 12-16 months. Police doctors who examined 47 patients said they had long-term complications from the shaman's treatment.
However, Camara refused to be found guilty. "I work hard to help them get what they want, the rest, God decisive," he said.
Penis Theft
Louisa Lombard, an anthropologist from the University of California, Berkeley described her visit to a small town in Central Africa, where two men claimed their genitals were stolen.
The trick is unusual. It is said that a traveler came to their village, bought a cup of tea, handed over money, followed by a handshake. The tea-seller whose hands were greeted admitted to feeling the sensation like being electrocuted.
Then, suddenly his genitals disappear! He suddenly screamed panic, inviting the attention of the people around him. Suddenly in the middle of the panic, the second man claimed to be a victim.
This is not a joke. Not mystical. Rather, a real psychological disorder is called: koro. The victims, mostly men and some women, believe their genital organs shrink or go into the body alias disappear.
Worries are not just about their sexual relationship, the 'victims' are sure, their lives are also threatened.
To prevent further shrinking of the genital organs, the victim undertakes "precautions": binding their genitals with ropes or metal - even sometimes their family members must be willing to hold onto until treatment is done. Usually from a shaman.

Conditions like this are commonly found in Africa in recent decades. Also sometimes reported in Asia.
"In recent years, media in several West African countries have reported a number of" panic "episodes in which men and women have been beaten, even to death, on charges of causing breasts or genitals to shrink and disappear," wrote Vivian Dzokoto and Glenn Adams in his study, written in the journal Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry, as published by the science site, LiveScience (19/3/2013).
"There are at least 56 separate cases reported in 7 years (1998-2005) in West African countries."
Koro victims are usually convinced, touched or touched with strangers as a mode of genital stealing. As people feel when they become victims of pickpocketing.
Psychological Perspective
Koro can be understood in many ways. From a psychological perspective, the phenomenon can be seen as an example of mass hysteria or delusion (fantasy), in which collective cultural beliefs can manifest in one's experience - no matter whether real or not.
The panic that victims of depreciation or "theft" of genitals will recover within hours or days of being assured that the "illness" has healed or is not actually there. This is clearly a psychosexual problem, "writes sociologist Robert Bartholomew and Benjamin Radford in his book," Hoaxes, Myths, and Mania: Why We Need Critical Thinking ".
"The panic of the deprivation of the genital organs is a reminder, that no one is immune to mass delusions, and that the influence of culture and society on a person's behavior is far greater than our expectations - or that we want to recognize."
Not Magis
In this case, delusions or mass delusions are made possible by belief in witches or black magic. A Gallup poll in 2010 revealed that belief in magical things spread in sub-Saharan Africa. As many as 55 percent of respondents claimed to believe it.
That may explain why genital theft cases do not occur in Western society. Because, most of them do not believe in magical things - or at least in a version that can shrink the genitals or "steal" a person's vital organs.
To date no one has been reported to have died from a coro, at least not directly.
However, koro's beliefs can have deadly consequences: hundreds of people accused of making wrinkles or stealing genitals are beaten, dozens of them are killed by the mass.
- The Ritual of Human Sacrifice
In 2017, a suspicious bag was found citizens in the state of Karnataka, India. Sure enough, when opened, there's a little girl's body inside.
Allegedly, the poor boy was not an ordinary murder victim. Because, found a number of material suspected commonly used in the practice of black magic.
The police investigating the case arrested and detained three people. They are allegedly involved in murder and the practice of human sacrifice.
As quoted from the BBC, police say, the victim was killed on the instructions of a sorcerer or shaman. The goal, to heal a man who experiences paralysis.
The brothers and sisters were among those detained. They allegedly took the role of kidnapping and killing the little girl.
According to the confession, they are told by a shaman that sacrificing a 10-year-old girl in a ritual is the only way to undo the 'black magic' that makes their siblings paralyzed, there is only this shaman.
A 17-year-old boy was also arrested for helping kidnap victims.
"It is suspected that some people conspire in this crime, we are investigating the case from all sides," senior police officer B Ramesh told BBC Hindi.
It is not impossible that the number of people arrested will increase.
As word of the incident spread, angry mobs surrounded the suspect's house and pelted the building with stones.
Indian police eventually resorted to coercion to disperse the wrathful masses.
The ritual of human sacrifice is not just this time in India. For example that befall Thepa Kharia.
He was allegedly victimized by a group of black magicians who killed him, decapitated his head to be planted in the fields - as offerings in rituals for rain.
The incident occurred in the midst of a heat wave that hit India in 2015 ago.
- Voodoo Awakens the Dead
In 2016, a horrific video circulated when the voodoo shaman 'killed' humans and revived him in a strange ritual.
In the recording shows an African Juju shaman appearing and spearing a man in the neck, before using his 'surplus' it to awaken him.
The video clip shows the shaman sawing the victim whose legs and hands are tied.
Quoted from the Daily Mail, the 'magicians' dressed in red and covered with polished body paint, seen dancing around the 'victims' covered with white cloth.
Suddenly the 'victim' sat up straight into the crowd. He stood up and managed to walk away without help.
The wizard's sorcerer from Africa was then seen dancing with a bloodstained cloth used to cover the victim.
well that's the explanation of the dukun's belief that we hope logic bermanaat.
