S5 E7: Valentine’s Dark Reprise

Описание

Season 5, Episode 7: Valentine’s Dark Reprise – Love Curses and the Mangkukulam. On a humid February night, love can feel like a fever—both a delight and a dread. But what happens when desire is no longer your own? Tonight’s episode explores the shadowy world of the mangkukulam—the Philippine witch whose power to bind hearts can turn love into a haunting curse. From ancient rituals with threads and candles to modern heartbreaks amplified by social media, we dive into stories of obsession, control, and the thin line between affection and possession. Listen closely as we unravel tales of love spells gone awry, the enduring presence of this mysterious figure in folklore and everyday life, and the real human cost behind these dark enchantments.
