Even those minds most open towards the non-traditional, and acknowledge almost all “miracles”, including prophecies, levitation and teleportation, are quite reserved when it comes to accepting magic. And that’s reasonable. Unfortunately, the very word “magic” is already corrupted. This is understandable, having in mind the historical context and the monstrous abuse of black magic, which can be seen even today. But magic has a very positive aspect as well. In these cases it is called white magic and it can sometimes be lifesaving.
To give you some facts, I will mention very briefly two tribes living in the Blue mountains (Nilgiri), in Southern India, which Helena Blavatsky studied in 1883: Todds (high, well-built, noble) and Moulou Kouroumbs (short, dwarf-like, evil) (The word “kouroumban” is of Tamil origin and means a dwarf). If a Molou Kouroumb was offended or his interests were hurt, he would stare for a prolonged time at the person set as a victim. The poor person would pass away within two weeks as a result of liver dysfunction. A typical example of black magic! This magic could only be neutralized by the Todds, if a person was to seek their help on time. That was the life-saving action!
