Another week in witchcraft starts off with more World Cup witchery, as a South African shaman claimed that the English team performed poorly in their match against Algeria due to a hexed pigeon sent by a medicine man to protect the Algerian goal.

Witchcraft and sports go hand in hand in South Africa. A team of witch doctors were summoned last month to cleanse the brand new national stadium of evil spirits before World Cup play commenced..

Elsewhere in Africa, it has been estimated that one in every 10 children to go missing in the sub-Sahara is an Ugandan baby. It is suspected that many of these children are killed in witchcraft rites. This type of ritual murder is still a problem in Nigeria as well.

In Kenya, a woman who placed a curse on her husband to stop him from chasing other women got a rude awakening when the spell backfired.

In Ammon, Jordan, a woman was arrested after allegedly putting a spell on three girls who had been placed in her care for an exorcism.

In the Philippines, a man known as the "witch-buster" is helping police solve crimes using his "third-eye." He is also known for his healing abilities and for warding off evil spirits.

In Colombia, residents are on the lookout for local witches after finding mystical carvings and candles in the local forest.

In the States, Salem witches are again in the news - this time in Salem, Oregon, where the Witches of Salem Meetup is open to everyone, including Christians and the simply curious.

This week was also the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and witches, Druids, and pagans of all stripes celebrated in a variety of fashions, including the annual gathering at Stonehenge.

Yeah...

This puts witches like me in a VERY bad light. The article should say BLACK witchcraft or Voodoo.

As for the salem witchtrails, In my opinion Christians should not be there. The stupid and ridiculas laws put in place by christian government lost all those poor people theyre lives.

The bird that sat on top of that Algerian goal was not hexed, England are just ****

Bringing this in the news is just an excuse about that fact. ='D

I'm English and I'm quite happy to admit it. I'm surprised our manager hasn't spotted this one yet!

Same situation.
Chinese nationality, but I'm not getting excited when China goes in action or anything like that, for example Beijing Olympics.

Haha I like the parallel you have just drawn, its a very interesting one

Thanks~
Maybe I'll continue and give it some color, but I doubt that I can bring up the motivation for all that work.. XD
I'm just random when it comes to art since I didn't really got any lessons, but I love mangastyle and landscapes the most.

I draw manga too, mainly chibis though nothing amazingly video game like

england are [$#@!], but then i dont support football in general

That's the best way forward, less stress and anger

Bit of a waste of time using the pigeon and black magic, England were never gonna do well anyway.
