THE HOLLOW MAN

Thomas Burke

Just as Christianity has its dark side in Satanism, so the religions of Africa have their dark side—and the sorcerer cults are considered the evilest of the evil. Followers will do just about anything to enhance their powers. West Africa’s Leopard Men, for example, believe their supernatural powers are derived from a gris-gris—or luck bag—called a borfima. It’s said the contents of this bag come primarily from the victims of human sacrifice. A borfima might contain the white of a hen’s egg, a few grains of rice, human intestines, and other parts from the corpses of the victims. The bag must regularly be anointed with human fat and blood, so people must continually be sacrificed. Practitioners believe this talisman brings them riches, makes them invincible, and enables them to transform themselves into leopards.
