Yes, they involve evil beings in the spiritual reality.

Does it work every time?

No. Satan is not omnipresent. When someone is practicing witchcraft somewhere on this planet, Satan might not even know about it. His resources are finite. He needs to allocate them effectively. The demons are just not always present when invoked.

Some people are more open to spiritual manipulations than others, e.g., Balaam and the fortune-telling slave girl in Acts 16:16. Others are difficult for demons to penetrate. Though the demons are there, they fail to communicate with the difficult witch.

Satan is not omniscient. When you ask an established witch a question, her associates/evil spirits may not know the answer.

Satan is not omnipotent. The witch and her evil associates can only try to make something happen.

Finally, the good spirits may stop the evil spirits. This is spiritual warfare.

A banishing ritual is often performed at the beginning of a ceremony in order to rid the ritual area of negative or unwanted energy or entities that may interfere with magick or unbalance energies that will be raised or summoned during the ceremony. Most magical paths prescribe a banishing ritual of this type prior to any spellwork or magick of any sort.
That's when the witch wants to get rid of the good guys.

How to get rid of an evil (voodoo) curse?

Proverbs 26:2b

2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse that is causeless does not alight.
If you are innocent, the curse will not work.

You have been born of the Spirit/Paraclete. The peace of Jesus dwells in your spirit.

Isaiah 41:

13 For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”
Romans 12:

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Luke 6:

35a But love your enemies, and do good.
Romans 12:

19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

Scriptures tells us very clearly......deal with the presence of satan directly...."satan it is written...be gone in the name of Jesus...Amen".
Generally satan will only hang around if his target is not keeping righteous life style. Having said that, I hasten....he may visit at any time. Be ready to notice the presence.

So, I'm kind of guessing, but... you don't have any experience with this, do you?

You are just theorizing here based on what you've read?

Absolutely 100%. There are tons of documentary utube videos that show unbelievable, undeniable hard to believe things. I've watched many myself. The devil is not shy to present himself as opposed to God who won't be tempted and requires faith. I can provide links if anyone wishes, but simply query zangbeto voodoo on utube.

The banishing ritual's existence belies the lack of control witches have over the spiritual world. Jesus asked, How can Satan drive out Satan?

He wil not is the short answer, but by devoting themselves to Satan's cause a witch may be able to make evil spirits fall in line with the will of their master, Satan.

That means if someone gets cancer for example, they will not be able to banish the cancer because Satan seeks the death of his human servants along with everyone else. That is his will, to kill, steal, and destroy.

Oh, and don't post links to witchcraft websites on here.

Question.

Have you never had any encounter of any kind that you would .... ummmm... let's put a common name reference
to this by saying that we could qualify it under the banner of things that go bump in the night? ( Which can only be termed under the spirit world and not mortal)

Tony Asked and gave an answer if Witchcraft, Voodoo, etc., real?

We know from the bible that witchcraft is.

Galatians 5:20 tells us idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions

More to the point is Micah 5:12 I will destroy your witchcraft and you will no longer cast spells.

Even in Acts 19:19 A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.

I could go on but will tell you that the belief...( at least at one time) ... was more with the RCC and if you ever have the chance to sit and talk to an older Italian man or woman and ask what stories they can share it
might just amaze you.

It is very real. And while I have heard many who have tried their "spell" castings that have not worked... perhaps that is because as Tony said Satan might not even know about it. And his demons are just not always present when invoked.... I have herd of those who have.

It is nothing I want to mess with... even if Satan is not present.

But I bet if you talked to some old native Americans in your part of the country you would be surprised at what they could share.

There are more than enough demons to allow all who are actually involved in the spiritual dark side to display supernatural manifestations.

I was a Satanist, after being saved, confronted real witches and warlocks and those possessed.

Though they are not omnipotent, omnipresent or omniscient, they are far more powerful than humans and have more scriptural knowledge than nearly all believers.
