Magic has always been a subject of fascination for humans. Throughout history, people have relied on magic to fulfill their desires, solve their problems, and make sense of the inexplicable. It is a mysterious art that has enthralled generations and crossed cultural boundaries. However, behind the allure and enchantment, there is another side to magic, a truth that often goes unnoticed. Magic, in its true essence, is not about performing flashy tricks or conjuring illusions. It goes beyond the realm of the supernatural and taps into the power of the human mind.
Leoncio's Candle of Death was released in October 2004 just before the anniversary of the Sister Tadea Benz murder. Josef dedicated the book to his murdered brother and nephew. A few months later Josef's niece Stephanie, a 14 year old daughter of the murdered brother, was brutally attacked by an African American serial rapist and killer. Luckily she escaped and later identified the killer.
On April 8, 1997 the 5 th anniversary of Danny Hill s suicide Josef s brother and 12 year old nephew were shot between the eyes and killed by a homeless man in Florence, South Carolina. What is now widely considered the murder of an innocent man by the state of Texas is also the subject of the newest film from Fantastic Fest and SXSW fave, the fiendishly outré UK-based director Simon Rumley.
It goes beyond the realm of the supernatural and taps into the power of the human mind. It is the ability to manipulate energy and create change through focused intent and belief. In this sense, magic is not limited to spell-casting or casting curses; it can be found in everyday actions and thoughts.

The truth about magic lies in the understanding that we are all capable of harnessing its power. It is not an exclusive gift handed down to a select few; rather, it is something that resides within each of us. We possess the ability to shape our reality, manifest our desires, and influence the world around us. Magic is not a force external to us; it is an inherent part of our being. To truly tap into this power, we must first recognize and embrace our own potential. We need to let go of skepticism and disbelief and open ourselves up to the possibilities that magic presents. By cultivating a positive mindset, focusing our intentions, and aligning ourselves with the flow of the universe, we can begin to tap into this hidden power within. It is important to note that magic does not operate in isolation; it is intricately interwoven with the laws of nature and the principles of cause and effect. It is not a quick fix or a shortcut to success. Rather, it is a gradual process that requires dedication, practice, and a deep understanding of oneself. The truth about magic is that it is not external or supernatural; it is an inherent part of our human experience. It is the power of belief and intention, the ability to create change and shape our reality. By acknowledging this truth and aligning ourselves with the forces at play, we can unlock our own magical potential. So, let us embrace the truth about magic and harness its power to create a better, more fulfilling life..
