Influence of Black Magic and Evil Eye
It will now be necessary to make a short study of magic if we desire anything like a reasonable explanation as to the power behind and manifesting through charms and kindred objects. It may be that the world has raised superior to such superstitions but before taking it for granted that superstition and magic are the same thing and that the theories of the old seers not suited for the present age but it could be said that the magic of yesterday may be the science of tomorrow. Pushpak wiman, Agni ban, Brahma astra were magical or spiritual power but today science has proved them in the shape of cruise missiles or ballistic missiles and airplanes.
It will thus be seen that magic is a high system and state of knowledge in both philosophy and science. At an early period, it was divided into four classes. These were. first-natural magic, second-white magic, third-black magic and the fourth-divine magic. We need only touch that class to which our subject belongs, and that is black magic (Abhichara or nazar /urok) or the influence of the evil eye where we are brought into connection with the world of unseen powers through artificial or natural agents.
Indian astrology also talks of black magic. Indications of black magic can be checked in the horoscope with the following indications:-
1. Bandhakesh is associated with the 6th house of the lord.
2. 6th lord is in the 1st, 7th or 12th house and Mars occupies or aspects ascendant.
3. Ketu is in the 1st, 4th or 10th house and Mars aspects are ascendant.
