Have you ever wondered if there’s an invisible force behind our problems, sadness, and pain that can actually help ordinary people? In Serbia, magic rituals and witchcraft are making a comeback. While some hypocritically condemn these practices, others secretly exchange contacts of magic practitioners. TV host Kruna Una Mitrović tackled this hot topic on the show “Pulse of Serbia” with guests Vesna Rivas, Nina Prlja, and psychotherapist Sandra Bjelac.
We’ve all felt at some point that there’s something science just can’t explain. Take meteoropathic children, for example—they get moody when the weather is bad and full of energy on sunny days. Nina Prlja shared how, during moments of great injustice and disaster, she felt a higher power pulling her out of the depths. Psychotherapist Bjelac explains that we’re not just matter; there’s something more that science hasn’t figured out yet. Magical thinking is part of us from childhood, and sometimes it acts as a placebo that can help—but only if people don’t ignore medical advice.
This topic is so hot it splits opinions—some say witchcraft is superstition, others swear it helped them through tough times. Is it time for science to admit it can’t explain everything? Or will we keep turning a blind eye to what we don’t understand? Either way, witchcraft and magic in Serbia aren’t just relics of the past—they’re a living, breathing controversy that sparks curiosity and debate.
Got your own story or opinion on this? Don’t be shy—share it! Maybe your tale will shatter some stereotypes or at least give a good laugh to those who think it’s all just superstition!
