Abstract

This paper aims to present that sorcery and witchcraft are still widely practiced by people in Flores Island, Indonesia. Its practice is still one of the thorniest problems that injure social life of people whether living in a village or in towns. The sorcerers and witches who are caught red-handed doing sorcery practice have been severely tortured and even publically killed by the villagers at their ancestral homes after a long indictment and prosecution according to their customary laws, yet it seems these means still cannot stop the sorcery and witchcraft practices. Secondly, this paper aims to present that sorcery and witchcraft practices do exist and their existence can be observed by various means including scientifically by a multimeter. The sorcery media emanate some kind of toxins believed to cause harm to their victims and the toxins can be neutralized only by sprinkling them with sacramental holy water
