there is the
Somatic Death, a method which consists of suggestion, magick, culture, but how to succeed?
as April 2020 there is not one referral on this forum: i am suprised it was neither wrote nor mentioned
edges are: infallible; fail-safe; sure-fire; guaranteed; anywhere; painless; nobody can/may/shall/might stop us; whoever/everybody; whenever; in conclusion smooth
we also need some guidelines on the wiki. the Golden Bough of Frazer cites many exemples, and it is often involven a sorcerer
now write, Method Up:
guys, to address some doubts: there is a full referenced article on Wikipedia, scholar research and success-cases, what do you need more?
I'd normally be the prime candidate for saying something both intelligent and sarcastic in response to these kind of posts, but figured I'd shake up those perceptions a little on this occasion
There
is certainly a connection between strong emotional reactions and physiological effects, and most members will have experienced increased heartbeat, tunnel vision, shaking or even fainting during highly emotional situations. However, this response is neither predictable nor strong enough to be used as a method of causing death, either to yourself or others. And for that example, I'm talking about
overtly inflicting an emotional shock upon someone and causing them physiological effects.
The term 'Voodoo death' is an unfortunate one, as when interpreted literally it refers to a completely fictionalised concept of inducing death in someone else merely through manipulating a voodoo doll symbolising them
without their knowledge. That mechanism alone, obviously, is a completely impossible one. Whereas actually
telling someone who strongly believes in voodoo that you have manipulated a doll of them may well cause them intense fear and even death, not as a result of voodoo powers but as a result of the physiological reactions caused by intense fear.
The fact that something has a referenced article on Wikipedia does
not give it credibility for two reasons. Firstly, anyone can edit Wikipedia, regardless of their knowledge or their intentions. Secondly, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It describes all manner of things, both valid theories (i.e. gravity) and fictional concepts (i.e. ghosts). It does not claim to give any inherent credibility to the topics it describes.
Any research into psychosomatic death will only have found the
broad connection between emotions and physiological effects. Any 'success-cases' will likely be anecdotal and not conducted scientifically. And such cases will also be rare and typically involve
extremes of emotion, such as people dying after receiving traumatic news, or from the emotional trauma of a concentration camp. None of these scenarios are practical or compatible with inducing a suicidal death in yourself.
Unfortunately, the closest real thing to voodoo death is probably going to be slowly niggling at someone to raise their stress levels over a number of years, this leading to higher blood pressure levels, and that person then dying several years earlier than their ideal life expectancy.
