Victim of an attack in the metro, Mr. T. decides to seek the help of a marabout in order to try to recover the jewelry stolen that day. He attaches significant sentimental value to them. In addition, their price is €3,000 (20,000 Frs). He also recognizes that he is attracted to the world of marabouts and wishes to verify for himself their abilities and their ability to help others.
A free newspaper will allow him to very easily find the contact details of a marabout working in the North of Paris. The first consultation will cost him 200 francs. A series of meetings will follow, two or three per week. Mr. T. will feel, as the days go by, bewitched and incapable of reacting to the pressure of the practitioner who will gradually try to “destroy and destabilize” him. Thanks to the client’s first and last name, the marabout will manage to “hurt” Mr. T. who will have the feeling of no longer controlling his life. “Through occult forces and rituals, marabouts manage to take power over you,” says Mr. T. Today, he proclaims loud and clear that the spell exists and that we must remain vigilant. He suffered from the influence of the African marabout who not only manipulated him but also extorted 320,000 francs.
It is true that we come to ask ourselves the following question: How can an individual get to this point if he notices over time that none of the predictions and promises are taking shape? “There is a power controlling you, you are losing your memory, you can no longer even count…” says Mr. T. This long journey through the abysses of magic takes the victim for a year and a half into an endless abyss. “The marabout came to my house, painted the wall with a preparation and made sacrifices. And it is he who then possesses and controls you.” This strong feeling of inability to manage your own life. Mr. T. felt it with intense suffering. Even today, he speaks of his experience not only with great emotion, but above all with the desire to denounce these manipulators because “it can lead you to suicide very quickly.”
Everyone knows that some marabouts and clairvoyants use numerous tricks to deceive, lure and manipulate their clients. Mr. T.’s marabout had concocted a preparation that was, to say the least, absurd: a bottle of water containing herbs, decorated on the outside with chicken feet and pearls. All this was obviously supposed to ensure that he would get his property back. The client will wash his body using this magical water. But Mr. T. will never find traces of the stolen jewelry despite the marabout’s prowess. At night Mr. T. had strange dreams: he had the feeling that he was speaking an African dialect and felt forces manipulating him. He considered this an attack on the part of the marabout. And only the invocation of his late mother allowed him to escape from this nightmare. She tells him: “It’s over.”
Mr. T. feels a feeling of betrayal and hatred towards this marabout. Turmoil has set in in his life but he is driven by a desire to put an end to this story and wants to assert his rights.
A shaman will support him in his approach, especially since at the beginning, simply getting rid of the said bottle represented an impossible gesture to do alone. In order to purify his soul and body, he will call on a real marabout who will not ask him for money and will help him get rid of the evil spirits and bad vibes that encumber him.
The trial will last a year and it will be difficult to convince the courts. The evidence is lacking. Mr. T. finds that the justice system is not listening. He is criticized for not being sufficiently Cartesian. But he persists and remains more convinced than ever that magic exists and that everyone has gifts. You just have to think and get in tune.” True marabouts, according to him, do no harm. Their approach is radically different from others.
Ultimately, Mr. T. will recover €19,000 (125,000 Frs) on appeal.
