According to many Folk Magic Beliefs along The Amazon River Basin of South America – many Shaman used a ‘’magical weapon’’ called ‘’Tsentsak’’. They believed that they could harness magic (energy) and have it manifested into a ‘’physical attack’’. This was personified as a Dart or Arrow. A Shaman could then direct the Tsentsak at the Soul of a Victim, which would induce death (spiritual). Other forms of Tsentsak were developed for medical purposes (such as direct ‘’The Dart’’ into the body of an afflicted person, to cure that ailment).
