World Building: Black Magic & Witchcraft (Feat. Atun-Shei Films)

Not a very CHRISTMASY video, but one that I simply had to make right now. Check out Atun-Shei's masterpiece, The Sudbury Devil, here- atunsheifilms.vhx.tv/

"I went to the moon last night with a witch and I did DMT with easter bunnies"

Now this is a pleasantly surprising collaboration.

It’s not the collab we needed, but it is the collab we should have probably seen coming.

14:57 That's some new version of "black Madonna" from Poland Nice

Minecraft Guy and Civil War guy in a collab? I need to see this

been wanting to see a collab like this for ages, so happy it's finally happening

Great video! If anyone is interested in hearing some more about The Sudbury Devil, I just released a review on my channel. I didn't end up getting too deep into the social associations with witchcraft as this video does (had to cut a lot of analysis out of my video for time, probably gonna do a follow-up video covering it later lol), but it was definitely something I noticed in the film; Witchcraft in the Early Modern Puritan context was so deeply rooted in fears about "others" and ideas about subverting the established social order with regards to religious morals and gender and race relations. Super interesting topic!

I never expected this collab, but I am VERY happy to see it. I LOVE your server AND Atun-Shei.

A while ago I played a Louisiana Voodoo practitioner in Mage: the Ascension and it was such a fantastic experience to learn more about the magic and the religion, especially seeing just how strong the parallels are with Christian miracle working, especially with its focus on community feasts, music, and dance. I developed a Correspondence 1 + Matter 1 spell that allows me to basically drive completely absent-minded, and calling it "Legba take the wheel" works perfectly well in translating its meaning. Theologically speaking, protestant Christianity of course very deliberately focuses the worship of God over the worship of Saints, and Christianity in general views possession very negatively, which the various Voodoo practices are much more nuanced on. As an interesting side effect of this (it is presumed) people diagnosed with schizophrenia from sub-saharan Africa generally experience "the voices" as a neutral mix, whereas Europeans experience them as overwhelmingly negative.

Collab I didn't expect. Lovely guys!

This continues to be one of my favorite worldbuilding channels on YouTube.

Finally, your magic system breakdown! Have you ever considered going into topics like cuisine, music, or art? I'm curious of your take on stuff like that. Anyway, happy with new content and looking forward to whenever the next comes out, Stoney!

This is by far the most out of nowhere collab ever. But ive watched both of you for a long time so i am not complaining at all lol

Stoney's descent into madness is finally complete

Hey, in Princess & de Frog, there was also a good voudou priestess so it's not depiected as inherently malevolent. .

I think I love this video x10 more bc you released it right before Christmas, and that's just funny 🎄🎄🎄 Happy Holidays everyone! 😊

I highly recommend the channel Esoterica if you want to more on this subject

In my world Black Magic is exactly the same as White Magic but used to harm and by the enemy

The lore revealed in elden ring of the light tree being a parasite on the land is a big flip where you look at everything differently
