Bone Pointing: An Ancient Australian death sentence

     Hello, first I want to take a minute to apologize for cutting UFO week short, I got sidetracked and then lost half of my research so I am going to put the final few chapters of UFO week on hold so I can bring some other cool and creepy stuff I’ve found. Today is a fascinating look at an ancient ritual and its psychological impact on the people it was preformed on. While digging through one of my older books last night I came across this interesting article on bone pointing, I had never heard of it so I dove in. when I got done reading I had to reread it just to make sure I hadn’t misread or misinterpreted the facts. A good researcher will check all available information on a subject before throwing something together, a bad researcher will take the lump of info he gets and throw it all out unchecked and unsourcred like a big old pile of lumpy clay. A good researcher will take the time to go through numerous works and articles and check historical facts before putting out a finely sculpted piece of work. This is the thing I see over and over with all the Mandela Effect videos online, most creators are just throwing lumps of unresearched piles of crap into the viewing audience hoping for a million views while not even paying attention to the facts or historical records, this is a topic for another day though, I’m here today to tell you all about the crazy ritual of Aboriginal Bone Pointing.

     In 1953 an aborigine man named Kinjika was flown from his native Arnhem land In Australia’s Northern Territory to a hospital in Darwin. He had not been injured or poisoned and he wasn’t suffering from any diseases, but he was dying. Kinjika survived for four days in great pain after entering the hospital, and on the fifth day he died, the victim of bone pointing, a method of execution-or murder- that leaves no trace and almost never fails.  Kinjika had been a member of the Mailli tribe and had broken one of its laws governing incestuous relationships. He was summoned before the tribal council but refused to attend and in his absence the tribal elders sentenced him to death. Kinjika fled his homeland, so the tribal executioner, the mulunguwa, made and ritually “loaded” the killing bone or kundela.

     The bone used may be human, emu or kangaroo or in some instances it can be made from wood, the design varies from tribe to tribe. Most are 6-9 inches long, pointed at one end and shaved to a smooth roundness on the other. At the shaved end is a braid of hair looped through a hole, the hair should be human if possible. To truly be effective, the kundela must be charged with powerful psychic energy, in a complex ritual that must be preformed flawlessly. The ritual is kept secret from women and all people who are not members of the tribe. If the condemned man has fled from his village, the loaded bone is given to the kurdaitcha, the tribes ritual killers.

     The kurdaitcha take their name from the special slippers they wear when hunting a condemned man. These are woven from cockatoo feathers and human hair and they leave virtually no footprint. The hunters clothe themselves with kangaroo hair, which they stick to their skin after first coating their bodies with human blood, then they don masks of emu feathers and the hunt begins. They usually operate in two’s or three’s, they are relentless and will pursue their quarry for years if necessary.

     When the hunters finally corner their man, they approach to within 15 feet or so, and one kurdaitcha drops to his knee, holds the bone I his fist and points it like a pistol. At that instant, the condemned man is said to be frozen with fear. The  kurdaitcha thrusts the bone toward the victim and utters a brief, piercing chant. He and his fellow hunter(s) then withdraw, leaving the pointed man to his own devices. When the hunters return to the village the kundela is ceremonial burnt.

     The condemned man may live for several more days or weeks but convinced of the kundela’s fatal power, his relatives and all the members of the tribe treat him as though he is already dead.

     The ritual loading of the kundela creates a psychic counterpart of the bone-A “spear of thought”, as it has been described-which pierces the condemned man when the bone is pointed at him. Once he has been wounded, the victim’s death is certain, as though an actual spear had been thrust through him. (John Godwin, Unsolved: The World of the Unknown, pp.163-76: Ronald Rose, Living Magic, pp. 30-36)

     Wow! How about that! A psychic bone needle gun that will absolutely kill your enemy. This is a great example of the mind over matter effect. Just as humans can believe a placebo can cure them they believe that strong enough magic can kill them as well. For these aboriginals their culture has taught them that the kundela is as real as any other magic that they have practiced in their 50,000 or so years of being around. I can’t help but think how cool this would be as a movie, one guy running from the kurdaitcha as they relentlessly hunt him down in their creepy outfits.

     In conclusion, this is one really messed up and interesting fact that I had no clue existed up until a few days ago. I will definitely d0 some more research on this and see if I can’t find other examples from other cultures around the world. It reminds me of the very powerful spell in Dungeons & Dragons, Powerword: Kill or Death, which is exactly as it seems. Just say an incantation, point your finger at your target and if its weak enough, viola, dead. The crazy thing is that this is real life and people actually have died from this, magick. Well I hope everyone enjoyed this macabre piece of Mystery and I can’t wait to share more new and exciting stuff on the next installment. Have a wonderful day and as always……PEACE!!!!!!!!
