INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

This morning I did some research to try to put a name on some super weird astral stories that I have run into in recent years. I had a feeling these might have to do with Barang or Kulam.

“Barang” primarily refers to a form of Filipino malign sorcery or black magic, specifically a Cebuano term involving the use of insects or familiar spirits to afflict victims. A practitioner, known as a mambabarang, uses insects like beetles or centipedes to enter a victim’s body, causing sickness, severe pain, and sometimes death. –Google AI

Kulam is a form of Filipino folk sorcery or black magic, often translated as witchcraft or voodoo, that uses sympathetic magic to cause harm, illness, or misfortune to a target. Practiced by a mangkukulam (sorcerer), it often involves manipulating dolls, personal items (hair, nails), or potions, and is deeply rooted in Philippine folklore and pre-colonial traditions. –Google AI

. . . . .

Likely Barang, morphed for impact, was the belief so graphically addressed in the movie “My Mother’s Skin” that I reviewed a while back.

The movie … In My Mother’s Skin (2023), a Filipino horror film set in the Philippines during the final months of World War II. It follows a girl, Tala, whose mother becomes infected and slowly rots after dealing with a flesh-eating fairy (the “Cicada Queen”) to protect her children. The film premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and is available on Amazon Prime Video.

Key Details of “In My Mother’s Skin” (2023):

• Plot: Amidst WW2, an isolated family’s mother, Ligaya, falls ill, and the daughter trusts a malicious fairy, resulting in a gory, body-horror infection.
• Setting: A decaying mansion in the Philippines, mirroring the decline of the mother and the country at the end of the war.
• The “Cicada” Element: The fairy, played by Jasmine Curtis-Smith, is adorned with cicada wings and themes of rebirth and decay, suggesting a sinister transformation for the mother.
• Director: Kenneth Dagatan. –Google AI

. . . . .

After doing the research, I stopped by a local gas station for a snack. There I encountered 2 men who were Mambabarang and another man who was so conversant and at ease with telepathy that he answered my telepathic comment to him with a vocal sentence. Go figure!

Mambabarang and Telepathic adepts are two very different sorts of people. If I had to put a peg on it, in a Filipino folkloric context, I would say that the last man I encountered, the telepathic adept, had an aspect of enlightenment.

The closest thing to this kind of energy … and to my own energy … in the Filipino folkloric tradition would be “an herbal doctor, albularyo or a faith healer, a mananambal or sorhuana (female) / sorhuano (male).” –Google AI These were people who traditionally cured the curses of Mambabarang or Mangkukulam.

There is not an exact match with the energy of enlightenment, since albularyo and mananambai deal with the fourth dimensional realm of cause-and-effect; whereas enlightened people and Ascensioneers deal with the higher realms, through alignment with God’s Will. These higher realms are beyond the realm of cause and effect; they are the realm of miracles.

To get back on topic, the encounters today at the gas station got me thinking that there may be many people in the San Fernando Valley who practice Barang or Kulam. There may be many more who grew up with these ideas, and so these ideas are part of their subconscious underpinning, as it were. Thus the early childhood training, and perhaps rather often, the current day practice of many people living here in the San Fernando Valley may be casting thought forms that seem to me … because of my Christian upbringing … to be quite alien, in fact quite awful.

If this be so, then it behooves me to get a handle on what all keeps repeating, like a wild and savage modern nightmare, in the astral planes … especially on the weekends and during times of CME flurries. As you may know, such a time is now upon us, although, by luck of the draw, NASA predicts the CMEs will likely miss or just graze by Earth’s electromagnetic field.

Cutting to the chase, let’s take a look at some right wild repeating thought forms …

CONTENTS

REALLY AWFUL THOUGHT FORMS WITH REGARD TO BARANG OR KULAM

• With regard to Barang or Kulam: Cutting down saplings loved by the victim; killing a Raven friend of the victim; killing a pet bird beloved by the victim; drugging and casting a love spell on a person beloved by the victim?
• With regard to Barang or Kulam: Imagining raping the wife or the children of the victim, or raping the victim; or else physically raping them? Magical differences, in this regard, between vaginal rape and anal rape? Magical differences, in this regard, between raping the victim, his wife, or his children?
• With regard to Barang or Kulam: Castration of the victim’s boy children?
• With regard to Barang or Kulam: Seducing the victim’s workmen and offering them money to kill the victim?
• Follow-up: Do you want to explore the “orasciones” (prayers) specifically used to protect a household from “treachery” and “internal betrayal”? … I said: Yes.
• Are there standard Christian prayers for this purpose?

HERE IS THE TEXT OF THE STANDARD CHRISTIAN PRAYERS TO PROTECT A HOUSEHOLD FROM “TREACHERY” AND “INTERNAL BETRAYAL”

HOME INVASION THOUGHT FORMS TO DO WITH BARANG OR KULAM

• With regard to Barang or Kulam: Trespassing on someone else’s property; or having someone else trespass on their property, so as to leave illegal goods there, or to leave poisons there, or to vandalize the property?
• With regard to Barang or Kulam: Imagining breaking into or sneaking into the victim’s house?
• I gather from this that black tourmaline buried under or near a doorway might be effective. Also, I like the idea of a mirror … maybe a dull mirror … hung on a wall to reflect curses back to another house. I also like to place crosses by exterior doorways of my home. –Alice B. Clagett
• Follow-up: Do you want to explore the specific orasciones (prayers) used to “lock” a house against these mental and astral intrusions?   I said: Yes.
• Counter-spells used to protect a yard or home from Barang or Kulam invasions?
• Yesterday I tried walking in a processional manner around the perimeter of my yard with my largest crucifix – about a foot long, showing the Ascended Christ – held out at arm’s length in front of my third-eye point. At ‘hot spots’ in my trek, where surveillance cameras of other people were surveilling my yard, I stopped and said: “In the name of Christ Jesus my Lord and Savior, I bid all trespassing spirits be barred from this yard forever. Amen.” I feel this is a good technique. –Alice Clagett
• Would you like to know how these protections are activated or “fed” through specific prayers (orasciones) to maintain their effectiveness?    I said: Yes.

CHRISTIAN WAYS TO PROTECT A YARD OR HOME FROM BARANG OR KULAM INVASIONS

• Google AI asked: Would you like to know the specific ritual for placing St. Benedict medals at the four corners of a property to reinforce these prayers?   I said: Yes.
• Google AI asked: Would you like to know the Latin text of the official Exorcism Blessing that a priest uses for these medals, so you can ensure it is performed correctly?   I said: Yes.
• Google AI asked: Do you need the English translation of these specific Latin rites to better understand the authority being invoked against the sorcery?   I said: Yes.
• Google AI asked: Would you like to know about the specific placement of a San Benito (St. Benedict) image inside the home to complement these buried medals?   I said: Yes.

BARANG OR KULAM: BLACK MAGIC CURSES ON OTHER PEOPLE’S PLANTS AND LAND

• With regard to Barang or Kulam, poisoning someone else’s plants … for instance, their vegetable gardens or flower gardens?
• With regard to Barang or Kulam: Throwing boiling water or boiling oil on the victim’s plants, or on the victim himself?
• With regard to Barang or Kulam: Throwing rats or other rodents out of one’s yard and into the victim’s yard?
• With regard to Barang and Kulam, throwing one’s own feces into someone else’s yard, or else at someone else?
• In the context of Barang and Kulam, throwing urine on the victim’s yard?
• Do you need information on protective rituals used to cleanse a yard from such substances, or are you interested in how healers (albularyos) diagnose these specific types of “planted” curses?     I said: Yes.

STANDARD CHRISTIAN PRAYERS AGAINST BARANG OR KULAM: BLACK MAGIC CURSES ON OTHER PEOPLE’S PLANTS AND LAND

BARANG OR KULAM: BLACK MAGIC USING ANIMALS

HERE IS THE TEXT OF THE STANDARD CHRISTIAN PRAYERS THAT PROTECT PEOPLE FROM BARANG OR KULAM

CONCLUSION

What I got from all this is that the alien thought forms I have been hearing over and over again, here in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, California, may have to do with the black magic practices of Barang and Kulam.

I had no knowledge of Barang and Kulam, and that is why these thought forms seemed so outlandish to me.

Now I have some Christian prayers to say when I hear these thought forms or when I read about or see these practices being performed.

I hope this research helps you too, Dear Readers. I know it’s a lot to read, but for those of you who, like I, have been beleaguered by these curses and threats, I expect the reading will be well worth it.

Io lux et pax nobiscum.
Joy, light and peace be with us!
