This article is about black magic in Voodoo Spiritism and why we do not use black magic. Also we cover the difference between blast magic and black magic.
By Priestess Shoshana | Spiritual Teachers Voodoo
Let me speak plainly.
Let me speak with fire.
In a world intoxicated by quick results and flashy spells, it has become far too easy to confuse true spiritual power with dark manipulation. There is a reason why Voodoo is whispered with fear on the lips of the ignorant. There is a reason why my path, my spirits, my traditions have been misunderstood, slandered, and demonized. And there is also a reason why I have never, not once, broken the oath I took as a priestess—to never use black magic.
This is not a fear-based restriction. It is not weakness.
It is spiritual discipline, and it is spiritual law.
This is the path of Voodoo Spiritism—and in this path, we are taught to face the darkest forces of this world… but never become them.
Let me begin with a term I’ve coined: Blast Magic.
Blast Magic is not black magic in the traditional sense—it’s not just curses or hexes or rituals of harm. Blast Magic is what happens when we invoke real power without spiritual alignment. When we try to “blast” our way through life using force instead of balance. It is the energetic tantrum of the ego masked as intention. It is what people often call “witchcraft” without wisdom.
True Voodoo Spiritism does not traffic in this kind of power. We do not summon spirits to destroy. We do not cast spells to control others. We do not demand blessings without sacrifice, or manipulate the universe like a vending machine.
The laws of spirit do not bend to our will. And if they do, you are no longer working with Spirit—you are working with something else.
Let’s address the elephant in the room: Voodoo has been misunderstood since colonization.
What the world calls “black magic” is often just misunderstood African spirituality. Voodoo is not evil. It is not demonic. It is not superstition. It is a sacred, living tradition that honors the ancestors, the spirits of nature, and the divine laws of the universe.
But when the enslaved were ripped from their homelands, their medicine was feared by their oppressors. They saw our ceremonies, our possessions, our chants—and instead of asking for wisdom, they cast us as monsters. Hollywood ran with it. Christians demonized it. And now, generations later, people still flinch when I say the word “Vodou.”
Let me be clear: we do not harm for sport. We do not sacrifice out of cruelty. We do not call spirits to punish innocent people. But we do not pretend the dark does not exist.
We know darkness.
We’ve lived through it.
We’ve survived it.
That’s why we don’t play with it.
I made a vow.
In my early initiations, the spirits tested me again and again. Would I use what I was shown to hurt? Would I let my pride push me to attack those who betrayed me? Would I allow my rage to become a reason?
I had many chances. I’ve been lied on, stolen from, spiritually attacked by people who once smiled in my face. I’ve been asked to do justice on others’ behalf that would have crossed the line into karma I do not own.
And each time, I passed.
Not because I’m better—
but because I know what it would cost me.
To break this oath would mean I lose my crown.
Not the physical one. The spiritual one.
If I use my gift to harm, I forfeit the light that allows me to heal.
You cannot have both. You cannot be a house of light and a cave of poison at the same time. The spirits will strip your power. They will shut your doors. And even if no one sees it with their eyes, your soul will know.
And worse—you won’t be able to help the people who need you. You won’t be able to lift their grief, speak their truth, break their curses, or channel their healing. Because the spirits don’t ride dirty vessels.
Now, let’s get honest.
In Voodoo Spiritism, we study black magic. We learn how curses are formed. We learn how psychic attacks work. We learn how dark spirits enter the home, the body, the aura. Because if we don’t understand the enemy, how can we protect against it?
You cannot heal what you refuse to face.
You cannot break a hex if you don’t understand how it was cast.
I have studied the dark. I have seen what it does. I have stood at gravesites where unholy spirits had been loosed. I’ve removed black candles from under beds, buried foul items in salt and stone, untied knots around people’s lives.
And I’ve done it not to mimic the power—
but to overcome it.
There is a warrior’s training in our path. We are not naive. But we do not dance with demons unless we are binding them. We don’t feed them. We don’t flatter them. And we never, ever summon them for fun.
The seduction of black magic lies in its speed. Its promise.
“Get them back.”
“Take their love.”
“Make them suffer.”
“Take what’s yours.”
It whispers the things we think we want. But what it delivers is spiritual debt.
In Voodoo Spiritism, we believe in karmic law. Not in the linear sense of punishment and reward, but in energetic consequence. Every act sends a signal through the spirit world. If you violate that balance—even with cause—the backlash will come.
It may not show up as lightning. It might not be loud. But it will come. Your finances will dry up. Your dreams will become haunted. Your lovers will leave. Your rituals will lose their power. Why?
Because you left the current of truth.
Because you became what you hated.
Because you let pain become your god.
People often ask me, “But Priestess, if someone comes to hurt you spiritually, don’t you have to fight back with the same?”
Here’s my answer: No. I fight back stronger. I fight back cleaner.
Anyone can curse. Not everyone can cleanse.
Anyone can destroy. Not everyone can build.
Anyone can scream. But not everyone can hold silence so pure it cracks the spell.
The spirits have shown me time and time again: the clean hand is the most powerful one. When you walk in purity, your protection is divine. Your blessings are sealed. The enemy strikes and their hand curls back to them.
Why?
Because the energy can’t stick to you.
Because your spirits surround you.
Because you are not tethered to revenge, but anchored in power.
True spiritual mastery is not about what you can take from others—it’s about what you can command within yourself.
Here’s where it gets nuanced.
In Voodoo Spiritism, there are rituals of justice—not revenge. The spirits can bring truth to light. They can stop enemies. They can bring spiritual restitution. But these rituals are not black magic. They are done in alignment, with proper offerings, clear intentions, and under spiritual guidance.
They’re not done because you’re angry. They’re done because Spirit said yes.
I’ve seen people’s lies exposed. I’ve seen abusers lose power. I’ve seen the innocent vindicated—not because we cursed someone, but because we called upon truth.
There is a spiritual court. There are divine judges. And when we appeal to them with clean hands, the results are undeniable.
But go rogue… and you won’t just bring fire.
You’ll become the one who burns.
Our tools in Voodoo Spiritism are potent:
But all these tools work because we are aligned.
Because we don’t play with both sides.
Because we are servants, not sorcerers.
There’s nothing weak about light work.
There’s nothing soft about healing.
The cleanest water carves the deepest canyons.
And the brightest fire purifies what filth can’t reach.
I say this to those who stand where I stand:
You will be tested.
You will be betrayed.
You will be envied.
You will be cursed.
You will be asked to cross the line.
And if you’re doing your work right, the temptation will grow louder when you are tired, hurt, or heartbroken. That’s when it comes: “Just light that candle. Just speak that name. Just break the oath once.”
But hold.
Hold the line.
Because the real work is not in the spell—it’s in your spine.
It’s in your soul.
It’s in your silence.
The more you pass the test, the more your spirits crown you.
The more you refuse to blast, the more you can bless.
Blast Magic is real. So is black magic. But neither of them are your inheritance.
Your inheritance is the Light. The Blood. The Ancestors. The Spirits.
The sacred current of those who walked through fire but refused to become it.
You don’t need to curse.
You need to rise.
Because when you rise, everything that tried to break you falls at your feet.
That is the law of Spirit.
And Spirit does not lie.
If you’re reading this and you’ve walked too close to the edge—come home.
If you’ve broken your vow—repent, cleanse, rebuild.
Spirit forgives.
But She also watches.
And for those of you who are tempted to use your gifts for harm: know this—
It will cost you everything.
Even if you win, you’ll lose.
So choose mastery. Choose integrity. Choose the clean flame.
The spirits are watching.
And they reward those who know the power to blast—
and choose instead to bless.
