I heard Macumba is something that I should be afraid of, is that true?
Such false information originates from people who have experienced negative Macumba effects without understanding what Macumba actually is about. For example in Brazil, where real Macumba (not the religion) is practiced, many people are affected by negative Macumba effects and can become very afraid of anything they perceive as being Macumba-related. People like that don’t know where the effects they have witnessed are coming from and can’t protect themselves from it. People who don’t truly understand what Macumba is can become very superstitious and will use the word “Macumba” for anything they think of as being related to evil, bad luck, or “black witchcraft”. Macumba itself is neither evil nor good. Macumba can be used to do both good and evil. Even if you believe Macumba is something you should stay away from because it has the power to do evil, there is no advantage to this because Macumba can affect you whether you practice it yourself, or all the same if you’ve never even heard
