Witchcraft as therapy on the rise in Algeria

As time marches on some places become more and more backwards, like Algeria, where exorcism and faith healing are on the rise:

The phenomenon of exorcism is a growing force in Algerian society, with many seeking aid from spiritual healers when traditional medicine is unavailable or unaffordable.

Such healers – known as raquis – practice roquia, or rituals used for purposes ranging from curing headaches to relieving a soul from demonic possession... Roquia has become a highly respected therapy among some Algerians.

In the case of people possessed by djinn or under curses, some raquis resort to magic and witchcraft. Such practices include hypnotising the patient, invoking God and watching to see whether the patient’s left hand moves, to confirm that they are haunted by a djinni. If necessary, the healer touches the hand to ascertain exactly which part of the body is haunted.

These methods are not universally approved by those practising roquia. Some feel that the inclusion of djinn or magic is wrong, particularly where the patients say they have fallen victim to a talisman, curse or evil eye.

Hmm. I sense a deep metaphysical dispute in the roquia community over how to deal with djinni, talismans, and evil-eyes. I demand a raqui throw-down right now; who's got the fatter ju-ju? Bring it to the table and let's see you take on my evil occult skull talisman. Huh? What's that? You're scared? Algeria, you've officially been served.
