Affliction
AFFLICTION is a state of distress or suffering often resulting from a combination of psychological stress and adverse circumstances. This condition can adversely affect the nervous system and enable divination, providing insights into one's fate. Affliction encompasses a range of negative states, including those that arise from bewitchments or supernatural influences, such as diseases, misfortunes, and other negative impacts. It also represents the state of being impacted by challenging life situations, which can lead to suffering or the loss of protection. The state of affliction can be both a personal experience of mental and emotional strain and a broader phenomenon involving the manifestation of negative consequences from other forces, such as witchcraft or external events that disrupt one's well-being.
