Here is my pick of the theatre of the absurd from Sweden this week; mind you in a decadent, decaying wasteland like Sweden, which still remains ahead of the curve of the West’s implosion, it is often hard to get the winning story. But, here it is for this week:

“The district court in Malmö, often touted as “Sweden’s most multicultural city,” will next hear a case involving human traffickers allegedly using a Nigerian brand of witchcraft to force women into selling sex. Two female victims from Nigeria will testify in a case of human trafficking and prostitution, involving juju, a Nigerian variant of voodoo particularly popular in the Edo State from where many sex slaves trafficked into Europe come, the daily newspaper Expressen reported. “The traffickers have realized that by utilizing juju priests they can keep the women in obedience,” criminal investigator Simon Häggström from the National Operative Department told Expressen. “They really believe in two parallel worlds, one visible and one invisible. The invisible world consists of good and evil spirits that can affect one’s everyday life,” he added. The two women who will testify about human trafficking and forced prostitution claim to have both undergone a juju ritual, for which they received €45,000 and €40,000 ($53,000 and $47,000) respectively and took an oath to repay the money through work in Sweden, without fully understanding how large the sums actually are. One of the women told the police that during the ritual she was made to eat raw chicken heart, was cut on the chest with a razorblade and had animal blood rubbed into the wounds.”
It is thought by some commentators that this event is but the tip of the iceberg, and that the voodoo prostitution cult may be very extensive in the great diverse society that once was Sweden. Certainly it will be in the future.
