The Mind Creative OCTOBER 2014 | Page 56

The Mind Creative for something or another. Some people even claim to be able to work miracles on another’s behalf, for a payment, of course. I have in my possession two flyers, one from a Muslim and the other from a Hindu, both advertising their ability to work miracles in Sydney, Australia. I reproduce both below exactly as they are printed, except for the format and their contact details: “Mr Shiekh Fadil, international clairvoyant/spiritual healer, the man you can trust with his natural god-gifted power of second sight, successfully helping desperate people for the past 25 years. Specialist in relationship, bringing back loved one, marriage and family problem, master of removing all black magic and spell, etc, sexual difficulties, success in business, court cases, good luck, 100% guaranteed, astonishing result in 24 hours.” “Pandit Tulsi Das, skilled in all kinds of astrology, panditji knowing about your past, present and future, by palm, face and photo reading to get permanent solutions to all your problems, business problems, money problems, family arguments, childless couples, lucky lotto, love problems, enemy problems, jealousy, marriage problems, spiritual problems, sexual problems, house problems, worried about loved ones, husband wife problems, removes black magic, 100% guaranteed.” While the guarantee of 100% success in both advertisements is impressive, the reference to black magic is ominous, but of that in a moment. 56
