Black Magic

"Do elites use occult rituals to secure their power?"

Black magic plays a central role in many conspiracy myths, often tied to the idea of secret practices intended to harm or control others. Certain religious or ethnic groups are accused of performing magical rituals to gain supernatural powers, weaken opponents, or seize power. A notorious example is the blood libel myth, which falsely claims that Jews sacrifice children and use their blood for ritual purposes. This antisemitic conspiracy theory has fueled violence and persecution for centuries – and continues to resurface in new forms today. However, the repetition of these age-old stereotypes does not make them any more credible.
