Baraka And Black Magic In Morocco

Product Information

The heroine’s inner journey concludes on a few unfinished observations, collapsing into a “meaning” that fails, in those few moments of waiting for a taxi, to take shape. Move to a new country and you quickly see that visiting a place as a tourist, and actually moving there for good, are two very different things.

Generally speaking, the latter incorporates elements of the supernatural or the strange within writing that would otherwise be described as “true to life. Because of the very heavy reputation the Kingdom of Morocco carries of being a country with deep roots in black magic and sorcery. Therefore, Moroccans hit mausoleums with different aims to get wellness, wealth, religious, personal, and evil purposes. First, it is embodied within many of the characters in these stories: those beloved by God, seers, wearers of the Sufi cloak known as the khirqa, “crazed” mystics, people granted divine miracles, and those whose bodily weaknesses are offset by spiritual abilities, anointing them with auras of grace and sanctity. Grouped under one title, “The Ache of the Sands,” Abdelaziz Errachidi’s two stories lead us to the desert and its inner realms.

The shawafa “had a real light about her and a real happiness, a kind of aura,” Daley said in an interview with her. In this literary form, the scenes and narrative propulsion are created not only by exposition focusing on main characters, but also by entwined vignettes, smells, noises, and movement, all interacting with the text, sometimes at its forefront, other times in its background. The mausoleums attract thousands of people who think they will be bestowed by the saints and will be granted their wishes.This spirit is also present in the characters we read, who hold some of these mystical qualities though are not themselves mystics. We can in fact describe the two literary trends as opposites: while magic realism inserts the supernatural into the everyday, Moroccan writing draws on a reality that is itself “magical,” or—to distance ourselves from exoticism as much as possible—from a reality that has certain enchanting qualities.

The book narrates the story of him and his family during the time in which they bought a house and moved to Morocco to discover only later that said house was hunted by “Jinns” (entities known to be demons).
