Witchcraft in the Philippines

Witchcraft (Filipino: pangkukulam) has been present throughout the Philippines even before Spanish colonization, and is associated with indigenous Philippine folk religions, where Philippine shamans, who people come to for healing and rituals, are known to counter the magic of Philippine witches, who people fear. Its practice involves black magic, specifically a malevolent use of sympathetic magic.
