Answer

Any sincere spiritual effort creates a strong magnetic field around us that can protect us from negative energies. Praying to God and consciously tuning in to God’s light especially can help fend off negative thoughts of others.

Finally, fear is the opening that allows black magic to enter and harm us. Live in God, where there is no fear, and you will not be affected by witch doctors and black magic, even when they are directing their energy at you.
