It all involves staying up late at night in an isolated place in the dark. Most preferably in a cold environment and away from fire. Don’t even try to eat or drink anything hot because wizards are believed to have the ability to sense your presence whenever you drink something hot. During the day, wizards are normal people who socialize and blend in very well with ordinary people. When night comes, they turn out to be completely different and dangerous personalities with very unique characteristics, ranging from producing fire with their tongues, running at an abnormal speed, swelling to abnormal sizes, turning into a bush, or maiming someone to death.
This adventure is mostly run by cultural tour operators who organize excursions and safaris to Western Kenya, a land steeped in superstitions and rich in traditional cultural beliefs. Tour guides know how to track them because they know their routes and their hours of night operations. I titled this article the craziest adventure in Kenya because it is an activity that involves a human being who is possessed by evil spirits. During this adventure, it’s normal to experience a unique shiver down your spine as you pass a nearby small bush. This is one of the ways to detect that something abnormal is happening around you, which is probably a wizard hiding in the nearby bush.
Wizards have very acute hearing abilities at night. To be honest, it is said that they can hear better than dogs at night. Their ability to see is comparable to that of a cat, and their sense of smell is so acute that they can detect a human being in hiding. This characteristic is mainly hereditary in most families, but in some cases, especially in a couple where one of the members is not a magician, a solid and complete apprenticeship takes place.
Most female sorcerers even have the ability to look at someone eating any type of food with an evil eye. This person would then develop severe stomach pain that can lead to death if not treated well. Interestingly, this type of disease is not curable in a hospital, communities experiencing this type of problem have traditional doctors who use natural herbs collected only from particular bushes of particular bushes.
I am traveling home tonight, it will take me 9 hours to get there, I have to start my journey early enough, lest I be late and fall victim to wizards! I’ll tell you more when I get back.
