What are the signs of witchcraft?

Here is the English translation 

What are the signs of witchcraft? How can we understand whether someone has cast a spell on us? What are the characteristics? In other words, what are the symptoms of witchcraft?

What are the problems we may experience that could help us understand, more or less, whether witchcraft has been performed on us? We will mention a few things briefly so that we can help people look into this possibility when they are facing certain problems and difficulties and do not know what to do. In other words, they have reached a dead end.

Let us mention the first characteristic. Not that we have necessarily written these in a particular order, because they do not all have to occur together, nor are we ranking them. We have simply arranged them in a list.

One of the signs of witchcraft that we have included first on our list is strange headaches. In other words, a person experiences headaches and does not know where they come from. Furthermore, even if they undergo medical examinations, nothing appears in the tests.

They go to the doctor and undergo examinations, and the doctor tells them that nothing appears in the tests because they appear to be completely healthy.

while that person is experiencing severe and unexplained headaches.

So, the first sign for us is headaches. Another one, the second on our list, is nervousness and a kind of anxious state, which can create panic attacks, agitation, disturbances, arguments, and quarrels between couples.

over nothing, not for important reasons. And this, as Saint Cyprian says in his talks against witchcraft, is the cause of every disagreement.

In other words, people constantly disagreeing with one another becomes the cause of all disagreement.

So, the devil, so to speak, uses this to make people disagree. He creates polarization. The man says mountain; the woman says sea. The man says day, and the woman says night. In this way, husbands and wives disagree. This happens.

We will also talk about this in talks about marriage. Another thing is fears. Fears are also, although they are not as important, fears that we have that something will happen to us, various incidents that happen to us, and we become afraid. We do not have the courageous and manly spirit that a soldier has.

Cowardice, that is, is of the devil. Fear is of the devil. And you can see how, through manipulation, during the pandemic, fear, so to speak, caused the whole world to submit to all the measures that governments imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

And the devil knows that fear is a very powerful motivation that can enable him, so to speak, to carry out his plans. Essentially, the devil frightens people, but he does not have authority over us.

He frightens and threatens, but we should not be afraid of him. When I sometimes read prayers of exorcism, the devil makes many threats. He says, for example, “I will make you fall asleep while you are driving and cause you to be killed.” He makes various other threats.

He says that he will cause all sorts of things to happen. He suffers because of this and attacks the priest. And sometimes he may go to the other extreme, flattering and saying things such as, “Look at the vestments they bring you,” in order to flatter the priest, make him proud, and lead him into arrogance.

So, let us move on to another sign. We said headaches were first, nervousness second, fears third, and sadness and depression fourth.

This is a terrible weapon of the devil, so to speak, which puts you into a state of discouragement. Through the satanic actions of witchcraft, the devil wants to discourage you and make you fall to your knees.

In other words, he wants to make you lose your enthusiasm, your energy, and your desire for life.

Things that you used to enjoy doing, you no longer do. You have stopped doing them. You no longer have the desire to do them, you have no enthusiasm, and you no longer have the energy to do them. And all these things, so to speak, are also presented as a result of witchcraft.

In other words, witchcraft exhausts you mentally and physically. It is described as a psychosomatic illness that affects people who have supposedly experienced demonic influences.

The next sign is pain. A person experiences pain in various parts of the body. Some parts of the body may even become deformed.

A person may even become paralyzed because of witchcraft.

They may even die because of witchcraft—black magic. They may develop illnesses that, again, cannot be scientifically explained.

So, the next sign is pain. Another is illness. Someone may develop illnesses that cannot be scientifically explained.

For example, someone may develop a dermatological problem, have a serious condition, visit many doctors, and undergo examinations, and the doctors cannot find the cause. They cannot find a treatment, cannot find any treatment at all, and the person has a terrible dermatological problem.

And as soon as this person went to church, confessed, received Holy Communion, developed a spiritual life, and came closer to God, they were immediately healed.

We are talking about an illness that may have lasted ten years, perhaps even ten years. An illness caused by witchcraft—purely by witchcraft.

Anyway, let us continue. The next sign is damage and destruction.

There are accidents.

Our car may break down, even if it is a brand-new car. We may have a car accident. Anything can happen.

The wind may blow and break a door. In other words, damage may be caused by natural disasters, floods, or anything you can imagine. The devil may even set fire to your house. He has set fire to houses. He even sets fire to churches.

Anyway, the next sign is damage and destruction. Another problem is difficulties in the workplace with colleagues.

It is the same idea Saint Cyprian speaks about in his talks: the cause of every disagreement. People do not agree with one another.

The cooperation between certain colleagues may be destroyed. The devil hates goodness, hates love, and hates people in general.

He tries again to create agitation, disturbances, quarrels, and all these things.

Another sign is that you feel tired and weak. You have no strength. This can happen.

And you should know that many times the evil one does this when a person is fasting.

When a person is fasting and has no strength, they try to get up in the morning from bed but do not have the strength to get up.

This is described as clearly satanic. And when the person then prays, it goes away. When you pray, the tiredness and weakness that the person experiences disappear.

This is also called acedia. The person does not carry out their duties. This, therefore, is also presented as a result of witchcraft. These are described as demonic influences.

Another sign is nightmares. You may have nightmares. You may dream that dogs are chasing you.

wild dogs chasing you, that you are being threatened, that your life is in danger,

that you are constantly in a nightmare, in a painful and distressing state.

Another sign we have included is a heaviness in the chest. There is a heaviness in the chest.

a heaviness, a general heaviness upon you, and you simply do not feel like doing anything.

As we mentioned earlier, you have no desire to do anything.

These, then, are more or less some of the signs we have mentioned. Another sign, which we did not mention earlier but will add now, is yawning.

Yawning during prayer. In other words, when we go to pray, we start yawning.

When other people pray for us, they yawn on our behalf. Pay attention to this.

And when we go to kiss the icons, we yawn. When we go to church, we yawn. When we are inside the church...
