As the shawafa instructed, Saaidi tapped her ex-boyfriend’s shoulder and ran away before he had the time to react. She then washed herself with water provided by the shawafa. The shawafa also used Kobol, a substance used to attract people and render them in awe of you, to bless Saaidi and to make her the woman everyone looks at when she enters a room. Saaidi then walked the main avenues of Rabat and found a new man that very day. Generally, the problems appear to surface when faith and belief are present but when there’s also a proof of major systemic/general distrust and fear.

These figures are often caricatured and made fun of, and therefore, the secrecy of their work is essential. This is unfortunately also one of the reasons why is easy for many people with the wrong intentions to take advantage of others. Sorcerer – Faqih:When Tara Umm Omar was a young bride in her first marriage, she and her Moroccan husband took into their home the youngest sister of a family friend.

This is a true story about a man that strongly believed he’d been cursed, and that’s the reason why – by talking about it – he came across the opportunity to visit a witch/chiwafa to discover if he was actually cursed and eventually how to get rid of it. Finally, the reasons behind visiting mausoleums in Morocco vary from one person to another. Some declare they require blessings and religious duty. For others, they consider mausoleums as alternatives to hospitals. While others claim these are some institutions for entertainment and enjoyment.

The most well-known practice of these mausoleums’ sorcerers is witchcraft and magic. Consequently, this study reveals the hidden intentions and practices linked to visiting mausoleums in Morocco.

In Morocco there are many places that are popular among foreign visitors, such as Marrakech, Tangier, Fez or Casablanca; however, the real beauty of Morocco lies beyond its well-trodden paths. Here are 11 lesser-known spots in Morocco that will blow your mind.

The women in these stories do not need someone to speak for them, to justify their actions or explain either their own behavior or society’s behaviors towards them. Here we find active internal dynamics, women in action. They do not mourn or beg for sympathy or sell grievances of injustice to some European- or American-centric norm of existence that pays lip service to gender equality while usurping human equality. In these stories, some of them written by men, we find an intrinsic feminism as opposed to the superficial, Orientalist feminism that appears widely in literature translated from Arabic to English, precisely because the writers of such literature wrote with their eyes on the “West,” hoping for acceptance and eventual translation. I may not be able to make generalizations about this intrinsic feminism within Moroccan literature as a whole, alongside the roles of mysticism and the public square, but such a quality nevertheless makes itself seen within this portfolio. A popular destination for local spiritual pilgrims, is the shrine of the marabout Sidi Chamharouch, located on the way to mount Toubkal (the second highest peak in Africa). She wandered along the cobbled streets past the sky-blue walls of the medina, or old city, asking people in her broken Arabic where she could find a shawafa. Every Saint have a special gift: the Saint of Rissani cured infertility, the one in Ouezzane cures all bad illnesses, others protect the blind.
