Blah blah blah...
Sure human waste would work, but you will not find that as easy as animal waste.
Yap, yap yap...
Sufi dervishes use a form of magick, but very little is known of it as it is a closely guarded secret. Issac Bonewitz says that "There is no 'black' magic -- magic is as moral as electricity."He told me that in Islam, or the Islam practiced in silat, there is both good and bad magic. The bad magic of course being black magic.
This is untrue. Several mystical fighting styles do incorporate a form of spirit/demonic possession into their teachings, but it is a practice of dubious validity -- great for going amok and absorbing serious wounds, but such a one can certainly be defeated by a skilled fighter who is not possessed. It is like fighting someone on PCP.armbreaker69 said:He said that there is a prayer he can say before he fights that will bring all the souls of his dead ancestors into his body, so It would be like fighting 50 people instead of one.
Sounds like a fraud to me. Lots of "secret" martial arts systems are run like cults, with "masters" who are unable to provide any proof of their background -- you are expected to be in awe, and take them at their word. If he was the real thing, he would not be telling you to smear dog poo on yer knife, nor would he be teaching you "black magic".armbreaker69 said:He is such an interesting person, and he is very deeply rooted in his religion.
