The mysterious island of Siquihor is located in the central part of the Philippine archipelago. Unlike other attractions, this mysterious place does not attract, but rather scares off tourists. A small piece of land in the Pacific Ocean is very notorious, not least due to the sorcerers who live here …
The sorcerers of the island of Siquihor
According to the opinions of the indigenous population, there are more magicians on this small island than ordinary residents. Here white sorcerers coexist, who treat people who turn to them for help, and black magicians who will never refuse to induce damage or a dangerous disease.
The magic that reigns on the island is so strong that if a black sorcerer corrupts his victim, then medicine will hardly help this poor fellow. Most often, a painful death awaits a person, and only local white magicians can heal him.
Many people who are fond of tourism could have heard more than once about the Filipino healers, whose main gift is to carry out the most complex operations practically without using the necessary surgical instruments. The sorcerers living on the island of Siquihor are also called healers, but they use completely different methods of treating sick people.
Almost every day, hundreds of Filipinos travel to the island on small ferries who cannot afford treatment in expensive modern clinics. The local magicians help everyone, and, what is most interesting, they do it no worse than professional doctors. Sorcerers manage to correct dislocations and fractures, heal people with congenital mental and intellectual disabilities, and heal the terminally ill. At the same time, the magicians of the island of Siquihor do not require any payment for their services. It is generally accepted here that if you take money or any other gift for healing, you can lose your precious gift.

White and black magic of a mysterious island
One of the most widespread methods of treatment by the local white magicians is the use of bubbles, which is called "bulu-bulu" among the local population. To do this, the patient must sit on a chair, after which the sorcerer takes a large container and pours spring water into it. The vessel also contains a volcanic rock and a thin hollow bamboo tube. Then the magician blows air into the water several times, while making a certain number of steps around the patient. The water inside the glass darkens, after which it becomes completely black. Then the vessel is again filled with clean water, and the whole procedure is repeated from the very beginning. This is done until the liquid is completely clean - this means that the spring water has pulled out all the infection from the patient.
On the island of Siquihor, there are also black sorcerers who must be feared. Their main specialization is the infusion of dark spirits into a person. As a result of this, the victim becomes completely insane, and can do whatever the magician orders. A person can swear, shout, hiccup, try to rob someone, maim or kill someone.
In most cases, the victim's relatives tie her tightly, and they call for help from the local white magician Juan Ponso, who specializes in driving out demons. During the session, he literally burns out the spirits from the body of the possessed. At the same time, practically no traces of burns remain on the victim's body.
Black sorcerers are also capable of placing a curse on the food and water of their victims. A person who eats cursed food will inevitably feel a sharp pain in the stomach. After that, only a white magician can save him, otherwise, the victim will die.
Siquihor Island is part of the once sunken continent of Atlantis. According to the ancient inhabitants of the island, it is on its territory that the most powerful energy is concentrated, which feeds the sorcerers of the island, giving people either healing or inevitable death.

The Philippine island will certainly be interesting for lovers of beautiful landscapes. The landscape of the island is hilly, and its entire territory is crossed by many paths, from which the numerous peaks of the volcanoes are clearly visible.
There are several parks on the island's territory, the main task of which is to preserve flora and fauna, as well as unique waterfalls and caves created by nature itself.
In 1978, the Philippines declared the island a National Marine Sanctuary. The water area of this area is very popular among experienced and novice divers. After completing the training, divers are awarded certificates of CMAS, PADI and NAUI standards.
The island is actively trading in all kinds of souvenirs made by the hands of local residents. Every tourist who has visited the island of Sikihor also has the opportunity to purchase amulets made by local white magicians to protect against damage and the evil eye.
