Black magic, occult practices, and witchcraft continue to captivate the minds of people worldwide, despite their historical significance in Europe and India. While witchcraft in Europe has been extensively studied, black magic and occultism remain relatively unexplored topics in academic research. However, India is known for its rich history of magic, tantra, and occultism, with the Indian State of Assam being particularly renowned for its association with these practices. The Khasi Hills, in particular, are known for the practice of snake vampire worship, while the village of Mayong is where magic and occultism are still practiced as a living tradition. This book presents a rare collection of research, documentation, and academic analysis of these practices, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the occult.
