Out of breath, out of water, half crazy with fear, the aborigine man stumbled across the wasteland of the Australian desert, baking under the heat of the midday sun. Although weak from exhaustion and days of scrambling in unbearable heat, the man rarely paused in his panicky flight. When he did stop, it was to search the horizon behind him for a sign of his hunter. No matter how far or how fast he ran, he found he was never out of sight of a distant, lone figure walking relentlessly in his direction.

That solitary person was a Kurdaicha, a voodoo magic killer hired by an aborigine witch doctor to deliver a death curse to his intended victim. The killer carried no weapons except for a specially prepared curse bone in the pouch that hung from his waist. The hex bone had been carefully crafted by a Nangarri, an aborigine witch doctor, to deliver the curse imbedded in it to the victim for who it was intended.

It was only a matter of time before the Kurdaicha got close enough to unleash the curse. The voodoo-magic hunter was a man of great patience. He would take all the time necessary, weeks, months or even years to track down his victim and unleash the hex. There are few places where a man could hide from the hunter who carries the curse.

Among the aborigines of Australia, for example, the most powerful and most feared man is the Nangarri, the local witch doctor.

Black magic is not restricted to the remote areas of like the Australian desert. It is practice in cities and towns throughout the world. Like all special skills and powers, the powers of the Nangarri of the aborigines are still reserved for the chosen few who understand their secrets.
