Black Magic In Your Food? | This Is How It Can Happen | Episode Six

The question nobody wants to ask

Can food be used for black magic? Can somebody do something on a sweet, a glass of water, a cup of tea, some food, a powder or any edible substance and then give it to you? My answer is very clear. According to many occult and Tantric traditions, yes, food and drinks can be used as a medium.

And that is why I always say: do not eat from everybody, and do not accept everything that somebody gives you. Because once you touch something, you can wash your hands. Once you leave a negative place, you can come back home. But once something goes inside your stomach, it becomes a part of your body.

That is exactly why food has always been considered a very sensitive medium in occult practice.

And what I am going to tell you next may completely change the way you accept food from people.

Because sometimes, the danger may not be in the food itself — it may be in what was done to it before it reached you.

We are discussing a very important question: Can food be used for black magic?

And I want to keep this very simple. I am talking about what occult traditions, Tantric practices and old spiritual beliefs say. I am not saying that every stomach problem is black magic. I am not saying that you should become suspicious of every person around you. But at the same time, do not be foolishly casual about what you put inside your body.

What is Abhichara?

In occult terminology, there is a word called Abhichara. Abhichara means rituals done with harmful intention against another person.

In Tantric traditions, there are ritual categories connected with attraction, obstruction, separation, driving somebody away and destructive intention. One such category is called Vidveshana — creating hatred, conflict or separation.

Now understand the basic point. In many occult systems, a substance can be used as a carrier of intention. That substance may be food. It may be water. It may be a sweet. It may be ash. It may be powder. It may be oil. It may be something mixed into a drink.

The idea is simple: a person performs mantra, ritual, intention or some form of occult process over that substance, and then that substance is given to the target.

I am not going to explain the method. But yes, traditional occult literature contains the idea that substances can be ritually charged.

We already accept the positive side of this in spiritual life. We accept blessed water. We accept prasad. We accept vibhuti. We accept tirtha. We accept sanctified objects.

So occult traditions simply take the same principle in the opposite direction and say: if something can be charged with positive intention, somebody may also attempt to charge something with harmful intention. That is the belief.

Black magic through food is an ancient practice

This idea is not something invented yesterday. Ancient texts such as the Atharva Veda contain references to protection from hostile ritual practices connected with objects, substances and grain.

So when people say, “This is all modern imagination,” that is not correct. These beliefs are ancient.

The important point is that food, grain, vessels and substances were taken seriously in old ritual traditions because anything that entered the body was considered powerful.

And that is exactly why this subject deserves attention.

What kind of items are feared in black magic?

Now let me come to the part that most people are afraid.

In many occult traditions, people believe that harmful ritual substances can be mixed into food or drinks before they reach the target.

What kind of substances are people afraid of? They speak about ritual ash, cremation-ground ash, charred ritual remains, black or red occult powders, oils prepared during mantra rituals, strange pastes, powders taken from ritual fires, threads, hair, nail fragments and other personal materials used during Abhichara practices.

Some folk-Tantric traditions even speak about substances connected with cremation grounds, burial places, crossroads and other places considered spiritually charged or impure.

One of the most frightening beliefs is the use of ash connected with a dead body or cremation-ground rituals. According to such occult beliefs, this ash may first be used in a ritual, mantra may be performed over it, the target may be mentally identified, and then a tiny quantity may later be introduced into something the person is expected to consume.

I am talking here about what people describe in occult traditions and folk-Tantric practice.

The frightening part is this: the food may still look completely normal. The tea may look normal. The sweet may look normal. The curry may look normal. The drink may look normal. The person consuming it may not notice anything unusual at all.

And this is exactly why I keep saying: you must know where your food is coming from.

Online food orders and the risk of tampering

Now think about modern life.

Millions of people order food through apps. You click a button, and food comes to your door. But do you actually know who cooked it? Do you know who handled it? Do you know what happened in that kitchen? Do you know every person who had access to that packet before it reached you?

Usually, you do not.

Now let me say something very clearly. I am not saying that restaurants or delivery workers are doing black magic. Do not misunderstand me.

But if you already have a serious conflict with somebody, or if you believe somebody may try to physically tamper with your food, then common sense says you should be careful about predictable habits.

If somebody knows exactly where you order from every day, exactly what you order and exactly when you order, then your food routine becomes very easy to predict.

And in the real world, food tampering is a much more practical concern than any supernatural claim.

That is why I personally prefer to keep my food routine simple.

Evil eye on food

Many times, it may not even be black magic. It may simply be what we call nazar or drishti — the evil eye.

Suppose you are eating somewhere and somebody is continuously staring at your food. Maybe that person is hungry. Maybe jealous. Maybe deeply disturbed. Maybe resentful. Maybe thinking, “Look at what this person is eating, and I have nothing.”

In Indian tradition, elders have always warned against this. You will often hear people saying, “Khane ko nazar lag gayi.”

Now I want to be very clear. I am not saying that a poor person or a beggar is automatically evil. Poverty does not make anybody bad.

But when you are eating openly in a crowded place and somebody who is extremely hungry is staring continuously at your plate, traditional belief says that such intense desire or envy can affect the food.

This is why I personally do not like making food an exhibition.

If somebody is genuinely hungry and you can help, then feed that person. That is much better than sitting in front of a hungry person and showing off what you are eating.

Food should be eaten with respect.

Who cooks your food matters

Now let us come to another very important subject.

Who cooks your food matters.

Think about it. The person cooking your food is touching your vegetables, flour, spices, utensils and everything that is finally going to enter your body.

What is that person thinking while cooking? Love? Peace? Anger? Jealousy? Hatred? Resentment? Constant frustration?

This is very important.

Our tradition has never looked at food as only calories, protein and carbohydrates. Food also has an emotional and spiritual quality.

The Chandogya Upanishad gives us a very important principle: when food is pure, the mind becomes pure. That itself tells you how seriously our ancient tradition looked at food.

Even the Bhagavad Gita speaks about food through Sattva, Rajas and Tamas.

So food was never treated casually.

What if someone who dislikes you cooks for you?

Now imagine somebody who deeply dislikes you cooking for you every single day. That person may be angry with you. That person may resent you. That person may curse you in the mind while cooking.

Would I immediately call that black magic? No.

But would I want to eat that food every day? Definitely not.

Because I believe the mental state of the person preparing food matters.

This is why food cooked by your mother, grandmother or somebody who genuinely loves you often feels completely different. There is care in it. There is attention in it. There is affection in it.

And that matters.

Domestic cooks and maids — could the danger be inside your kitchen?

Today, especially in big cities, many families have domestic workers cooking their everyday food.

Again, I want to make one thing clear. I am not saying that somebody is bad because she is a maid or domestic worker. Character has nothing to do with economic status.

A rich person can be dishonest. A poor person can be extremely pure and truthful.

But if the person cooking for you is dishonest, constantly angry, careless, resentful, unhygienic or openly dislikes the family, then why are you allowing that person to cook what you eat every single day?

That is the real question.

Know the person who cooks your food. Know their habits. Know their cleanliness. Know their temperament. And treat them well.

Because if you insult somebody every day and then expect that same person to happily cook your breakfast, lunch and dinner, that itself is foolish.

Keep your kitchen peaceful. Keep the person preparing your food respected. And if you do not trust that person, do not give them control over your daily food.

This is also one reason why many wealthy households employ trained cooks rather than simply asking anybody available in the house to prepare meals.

A professional cook generally has one clear responsibility: preparing food properly, hygienically and consistently.

Why do we pray before eating?

Now think about another Indian habit.

Why do we pray before eating? Why do we offer food to God? Why do we say a mantra? Why do we first offer naivedya and then eat it as prasad?

Because once you offer the food to the Divine, your relationship with that food changes.

You are not simply eating. You are receiving.

That is why I always suggest: before eating, remember your Ishta Devata. Say your mantra. Offer the food mentally to God.

It takes hardly a few seconds. But spiritually, it creates a completely different state of mind.

Powders, dead body ashes and unknown substances

Now let me come to powders, ashes, drinks and unknown substances.

This is where I want you to be extremely practical.

If somebody suddenly gives you some powder and says, “Mix this in water and drink it,” or somebody gives you some strange ash and says, “Eat this,” or somebody keeps forcing you to eat something that you do not want to eat, my advice is very simple:

Do not consume something when you do not know what it is.

You do not even need astrology or Tantra to understand this. It is basic common sense.

If a packet looks opened, damaged, resealed, disturbed or suspicious, do not eat it.

If a drink smells unusual, if food tastes chemically strange, or if you suddenly become seriously unwell after eating something suspicious, get medical help.

Do not sit at home and keep saying, “Maybe somebody has done black magic.”

Medical problems need medical attention.

Spiritual awareness should make you more intelligent, not less intelligent.

My personal rule about food

Now let me tell you my personal rule.

I personally never eat anything at anybody’s home. That is my rule.

When I travel or when I go to places far away from my home, then naturally I have to eat outside. In that situation, I eat only at specific restaurants that I trust and prefer.

But that is mostly because I have no other practical option while travelling.

Otherwise, my rule is extremely simple:

Eat at home and eat well.

That is it.

Eat freshly prepared food. Know what is going inside your food. Know who is preparing it. Keep your kitchen clean. Keep the atmosphere peaceful. And eat at home as much as possible.

Some people may say this is excessive.

I do not agree.

For me, this is discipline.

Because food is not something external. Food becomes your body. Food becomes your blood. Food becomes your energy.

And in spiritual philosophy, food also influences your mental state.

That is why I say:

Food does not only enter your stomach. Food becomes you.

Can black magic food destroy your life forever?

Now the next question people ask me is: if somebody does something on food, can it destroy your life forever?

My answer is no.

I have said this many times in this series.

No occult practitioner is bigger than your karma.

No tantrik is bigger than God.

No ritual can control your entire life forever.

Even within occult belief, such things can only affect a person for as long as the karmic and planetary situation allows vulnerability.

That is why I keep telling you: do not become frightened.

Fear itself can destroy your mind.

And sometimes people damage themselves more through fear than through anything anybody else has actually done.

What should you do?

So what should you do?

Eat clean food. Eat fresh food. Eat peacefully. Know who is cooking. Avoid suspicious substances. Pray before eating. Offer the food to God. Recite your mantra mentally. And then eat without fear.

Awareness is good.

Paranoia is not.

Next blog: Can black magic destroy a marriage?

Now listen carefully because the next blog is going to be extremely important.

The next blog of Black Magic Series 2026 is:

Can black magic destroy a marriage?

A husband and wife may be living reasonably well, and then suddenly something changes.

They start fighting over everything. There is unexplained hatred. There is constant irritation. There is emotional withdrawal. There is sexual disconnection. One partner stops feeling attracted to the other. There is coldness. There is suspicion. There is distance. Sometimes a third person enters.

And finally the marriage reaches separation or divorce.

Now the big question is this:

Can somebody deliberately create hatred between husband and wife through occult practice?

Tantric traditions even use the word Vidveshana for creating hostility and separation.

So in the next blog, I am going to discuss this directly.

How can you understand the difference between normal marital problems and what people believe to be occult interference? What are the signs people usually notice? Why does sudden hatred sometimes appear without any obvious reason? Why does intimacy suddenly disappear? And can such a situation actually lead to separation or divorce?

That is what we are discussing next:

Can black magic destroy a marriage?
