Sorcery or Science? Investigating the Power of Black African Magic

Black African magic refers to the traditional magical practices and beliefs that have been passed down through generations in various African societies. These magical practices vary widely across different African cultures, but they often involve the use of rituals, spells, charms, and divination to influence the natural and supernatural world. In many African societies, magic is deeply ingrained in everyday life and is seen as a powerful force that can be used for both positive and negative purposes. One of the central concepts in African magic is the belief in the existence of a spiritual realm that is interconnected with the physical world. Practitioners of African magic often communicate with the spirits through rituals and ceremonies in order to seek guidance, protection, or assistance in various aspects of life. Divination is a common practice in African magic, and it is used to gain insight into the future, interpret dreams, or contact the spirits of ancestors.

The magic african black is for real. It used to be around more years ago. It has been a long time since I seen the black. It is beyond powerful. It was not like any weed i ever smoked. It was like another plant all together. I never smoked hash but the power must be at least as strong. I hope others would add their experiences as this strain is starting to be talked about more and more lately.
The herb that i smoked was 85% black 15% deep rich chocolate brown. It was shinny and felt very heavy for the amout of bud. The tiny buds were sticky and tore like taffy. It did not have any real smell before being burned. The smell of the smoke after being lit was memorable. It had a powerful smell that traveled like a floating 10 foot wall. "Pungent earth spice musk" I really think of this one and only bud as true medicine. It is the only bud I would perscribe for a freind with a mental disorder. It smoothly opened so many mental planes. The effects were very calm, aware and deep. It was not that you are just "high" it was like an spritual experience.
When I come across post of peoples encounter with the black the vision quest like experience seemed to show up more often than not in the conversation.

how is the smoke?

it would be good to get a consensus on African black herb

presumably there are two issues here - genetics and preparation:

- black cultivars, where the herb has very dark pigmentation

- fermentation methods which produce very black results

I would guess Zombe Black cultivars are heavily fermented, as well as having black pigmentation

as I am always saying (stuck record) some of the strongest herb I smoked in the Caribbean and South America was black fermented . very strong, and not something likely to leave the country

I think I smoked this Black Magic/Zombie herb about 10 to 11 years ago in mid~90´s. We get this amazing black bud with my 3 friends and we went straight smokin it. It doesnt smell before breaking it(maybe because we mix it outdoors), but when you break it, it produced very strong stinging aroma. First we smoked about 0.6 grams of it and then waited like 10 seconds and people was complainig that it doesnt get you high(how wrong we can be. ) and smoked another bowl about the same amount as the first. BOOOM, then it hit, first you noticed little pressure at your eyes and temples and then you mind started wandering. It was VERY racy & even paranoid, hey, we were kids who usually smoke some Moroccon hash not bud, so this black bud really surpriced us.

It´s appereance was shiny black with red to purple(?) pistils and were really sticky, no seeds found.

Like I said it has been something like 10 to 13 years when I smoked it, but all the bud I have smoked it has been very special because I can remember it still so well! I tryid to track it couple years ago and talked to the guy who it get it us then and he also said that it has been some nicest nugs he has ever smoked and that he dont know nothing else about it, than that guy who selled it said it was African.

That is a strain that I wanna grow in the future if I just can track it. It got that classical sativa structure with leafy buds but it had received some pressure(not pressured for bricks) and the it was so sticky, so it had transformed to very dense nug.

Keep It Green & Growin But Don´t Forget The Smokin!
Peace Out Growers!

Some Congoleses take color black, are not black coal, are more similar to "rioja red reserve". In interior it is not obtained, but with a good sun and in the ground some are put almost black. Grass fermented during the drying, I often saw in Africa, and it never seemed to me of the best thing, mainly by the flavor. It pardons badly by the English, but use a translator. We have crossed a red Angola a black Congolese, to see how it is left the result. No commercial house of seeds sells them, at least that I know.

"Rioja tinto" is a spanish wine.

Greetings to all

Algunas congoleñas cogen color negro, no es negro carbón, es más parecido a un “rioja tinto reserva”. En interior no se consigue, pero con un buen sol y en el suelo algunas se ponen casi negras.
Hierba fermentada durante el secado, vi en África muchas veces, y nunca me pareció de lo mejor, sobre todo por el sabor.
Perdona por el mal inglés, pero uso un traductor.
Hemos cruzado una Angola roja con una congoleña negra, a ver cómo queda el resultado.
Ninguna casa comercial de semillas las vende, por lo menos que yo sepa.

Saludos a todos

i've been smoking for over 40 yrs, and only came across this once. it was called black gunji, and was the most psychedlic weed i've ever had! can't remember the taste or smell (y'know how that memory thing is..) but i sure do remember the effects. when we left, my friend and i got lost in a traffic circle, shot off into the wrong street and had to pull over and get out of the car - it was a real cheech and chong scene. if these genetics are ever available, grab as many beans as you can.

hiya - regarding Mano Negra's post above - I love Rioja Reservas . some can seem almost as rich as port, with smooth vanilla flavours too - delicious

anyhoo - regarding potent African weed - has anyone read "The Dred and Other Learning Experiences" from Ann and Alexander Shulgin's book Tikhal

the book is a description of their experiences with tryptaimes - LSD, Psilocybin, DMT etc. - which Shulgin gives recipes for etc. and describes experiences with

lest anyone thinks this talk of super-psychedelic weed is just hype, this chapter from Shulgin is as good a proof as any . both Shulginf have greater "head credentials" than about anyone on the planet, having synthesised and "discovered" many psychedelics, such as 2CB, MDA etc. . . neither of them smoked weed again after their experience of "The Dred" (their spelling) which clearly was too much for them

CANNABIS
Jamaica, la Isla del Tesoro

Si algún lugar representa como ningún otro en el mundo lo que significa marihuana, la realidad de la hierba creciendo a tu lado, sin duda ese es el paraíso de Jamaica. No sé si la hierba sabe igual o produce las mismas sensaciones en cualquier parte del Planeta. Pero el tallo robusto yarrebolado de infinitos cogollos, imposibles de deshojar del todo; esa rama que te da sensación de fertilidad, de abundancia, de vida, es casi una reproducción en miniatura de los troncos de los árboles en Jamaica, consumidos por su propia hojarasca. Una espesura que parece devorarlo todo como un espíritu invisible entre el verdor, consumiendo misteriosamente la colilla y convirtiéndola en humo blanco. Así que no es de extrañar la identificación entre la marihuana (ganja) y todo lo relativo a Jamaica, sus ritos y leyendas, allí donde se le atribuye ese carácter religioso, transcendente, que es además una reivindicación de la propia cultura africana y sus tradiciones. En particular, de las tradiciones imperiales, como aquella que decía que la hierba había sido descubierta por los fieles en la tumba del rey Salomón; o la del lejano faraón etíope, Khufu, que había inagurado como rito sagrado la práctica imperial de fumar la mágica hierba negra que crece en el Valle del Gojam, allá en Etiopía, y que según el patriarca rasta Mortimo Planner, es la yerba más potente que existe en el Planeta.

Todas estas leyendas y otras muchas, coma la introducción de la marihuana como Wisdom Weed ("hierba de la sabiduría, del conocimiento") en el dietario rasta jamaicano, realizada por el reverendo Leonard P. Howell en los años 20 y 30 como contraposición al alcohol y el tabaco de los blancos, autoafirmación de la comunión con la naturaleza y las tradiciones heborísticas más ancestrales.

Donde la tierra te da, la mano del hombre sólo debe ayudar a crecer lo que la tierra manda. Por eso en Jamaica la ganja crece en lo profundo de los bosques más alejados, o confundida con los bananos, bambú y cocoteros en las orillas de los ríos. Por eso no es extraño que la marina real inglesa extendiera el cultivo del cáñamo por el Caribe en el siglo XIX, importada de la India y con fines industriales, para competir con el monopolio ruso del Cannabis Rudelaris. Una especie que crecía libre en los campos siberianos y con la que se fabricaba papel, lona, cuerdas, velas y la mayor parte de los objetos de marinería de aquel entonces. Sería curioso ver la cara de los funcionarios de la todopoderosa DEA norteamericana, si supieran que la primera declaración de la Constitución de sus Estados Unidos, está escrita sobre papel de cannabis.

Claro que cuando los terratenientes se dieron cuento de que la ganja disminuía la productividad de los campesinos, la prohibieron. Desde entonces, la historia oficial de Jamaica sobre el tema es de represión conta natura. Porque durante todo el siglo XX, con la contínua emigración a la ciudad, y la proliferación de ghettos en Kingston, no sólo los rastas sino todos los sufferers de la isla, habían comenzado a utilizar la marihuana para casi todo. Bebida en infusión como cura para cualquier cosa, en el té o en el ron blanco o rojo; comida en tortilla, cocidos o cualquier asado de carne e incluso en pasteles de boda; como sacramento religioso y naturalmente, fumada. En grandes spliffs ("porros") hechos con cualquier papel, en pipa artesanal (chillum), que estaba prohibida a las mujeres, o en arguilas de agua con diferentes tubos y pitones (waterpipes). Con base principal en el Cannabis sativa y dependiendo de con qué está fertilizado, en Jamaica pueden encontrarse variedades como el Burr, el Lamb´s Bread (la favorita de Marley con la otra llamada Jerusalem Bread) y el Cotton. Aunque las más extendidas en la isla son la Colie, la McConey y la Goat´s Horn. La variedad Bush y la Mad, de menor potencia y sabor, son lamentablemente las que más proliferan a su hora de la venta a los turistas blancos. Pero por encima de todas está naturalmente la Sensi, que procede de la palabra sinsemilla, acuñada por los cultivadores españoles y que es literalmente "hierba sin semillas", con un toque parduzco en su verde intenso y un sabor suave como mentolado natural que inmediatamente esparce tu cuerpo y tu mente. Comodecía Marley, "puro algodón". Limpia y poco cabezona, es el éxtasis de los fumadores de hierba. Procuren no comprar Sensi en las ciudades, sino en el campo. De lo contrario se exponen al timo contínuo. Hoy día, las bolsas de los turistas (como mucho Goat´s Horn o Collie) se suelen vender a 50 dólares, todavía sin desenramar y para varios días. Y una última advertencia, aunque suene a chiste: el consumo también está prohibido a los extranjeros. Si le pescan con algo encima (por ejemplo en los numerosos controles de carretera), pueden caerle entre 3 años de cárcel o una multa de hasta 560 dólares. La pena puede llegar incluso a los 10 años si el asunto va de cultivo, venta o contrabando. Así que cuidado, sobre todo si van ha hacer escala en Miami o Nueva York, para volver a Europa. El Ganja Bussines es peligroso, si no, echen un vistazo a Jimmy Cliff en la película The Harder they Come y luego me lo cuentan.

They may use a combination of herbs, animal parts, and other natural substances in their healing practices. There are many different types of magical spells and rituals in African magic, each serving a specific purpose. For example, love spells are often used to attract a specific person or enhance a current romantic relationship. Protection spells and charms are used to ward off evil spirits or negative energies. Wealth and success spells are performed to bring financial prosperity and abundance. African magic is not without controversies, as some practices involve harm to others or the use of animal products. However, it is important to note that not all African magical practices are harmful or unethical. Many African societies view magic as a means of maintaining balance and harmony in the world, rather than a tool for causing harm or revenge. Overall, African magic is a complex and diverse system of beliefs and practices that is deeply rooted in the cultural and spiritual traditions of the African continent. It is a testament to the rich and vibrant cultural heritage of African societies and continues to play an important role in many people's lives today..
