How Black Magic Is Performed and How People Get Affected by Negative Energy

Learn how external and internal black magic practices are believed to work, including methods using names, personal belongings, household soil, yantras, and sacrifices — plus how these negative energies affect people and homes.

How Black Magic Is Performed and How People Get Affected by Negative Energy

Black magic, also referred to as negative energy practices, is believed to affect individuals, families, or households through deliberate tantric rituals. Across many spiritual traditions, it is said that these practices can disturb mental peace, physical health, finances, relationships, and overall well-being.

In this post, we will clearly explain how black magic is performed and the common ways people or households are affected, focusing especially on external black magic practices.


Types of Black Magic: External vs Internal

Black magic or negative energy is broadly believed to be performed in two major ways:

  1. External Black Magic
  2. Internal Black Magic (Internal Prayogas)

In this article, we will focus on external black magic, as it is the most commonly reported and comparatively easier to identify and remove when detected correctly.


How External Black Magic Works

External black magic involves performing rituals outside the victim's body, using names, personal belongings, yantras, or specific locations to influence the target's energy field.

1. Black Magic Using Name, Address, or Personal Belongings

This is considered the most common method of external black magic.

A tantric may require:

  • Full name
  • Home address
  • Date of birth (in some cases)

In more advanced practices, the tantric may ask for personal belongings, such as:

  • Used clothes
  • Footwear
  • Hair or nails
  • Photographs
  • Personal items handled frequently by the victim

These objects are believed to carry the person's energetic imprint, making them effective tools for external negative rituals.


2. Black Magic on an Entire Household

When black magic is intended for a whole family or household, the approach is different.

In such cases, a tantric may ask for:

  • Soil, sand, or mud from the house premises

This type of practice often affects the household only when people are present inside the home. Commonly reported issues include:

  • Frequent conflicts
  • Sudden health problems
  • Financial instability
  • Restlessness or fear inside the house
  • Peace returning temporarily when members leave the house

3. Use of Yantras for External Black Magic

Yantras play a major role in advanced external black magic practices.

A specific yantra may be prepared and placed in locations such as:

  • Graveyards
  • Rivers or water bodies
  • Abandoned places
  • Sometimes even secretly inside or near the victim's house

Once energized and placed, these yantras are believed to retain negative energy for long periods, sometimes lasting months or even years, until identified and neutralized.


4. Yantras Combined With Sacrifice (Animal or Plant-Based Prayogas)

This is considered one of the most dangerous forms of external black magic.

In these practices:

  • Yantras are used along with animal or plant sacrifices
  • The intensity depends on the prayoga being performed
  • Effects are often severe, long-lasting, and deeply disturbing

Such rituals are believed to cause:

  • Chronic illnesses
  • Severe mental distress
  • Sudden downfall without clear reason
  • Continuous obstacles in all areas of life

The effects of these prayogas can persist for years if not handled properly.


Can External Black Magic Be Removed?

The positive aspect of external negative energy is that it is comparatively easier to remove than internal practices.

If a knowledgeable practitioner can:

  • Identify what type of ritual was performed
  • Understand the medium used (object, yantra)

Then appropriate remedies can be applied to neutralize or remove the effects.

What About Internal Prayogas?

Internal prayogas work differently and are more complex in nature.

How Long Does Black Magic / Kaivisham Last?

Kaivisham, black magic laced food, or any internal or external prayogas are believed to last as long as the tantric who performed the prayoga is alive. Once the tantric dies, it is said his upasana shakti also dies with him — meaning all tantric karmas performed by him dissolve. So as long as the tantric is alive, the effects are believed to remain active.
