And exactly the same thing happened to me too. In Sydney area. An Indian priest asked me to bring several fruits, a packet of cardamon, water (tap or botteled), an empty container in which I could put my hand. He promised you clear the negative energy residing in my belly. So the process is as follows:
We (the priest, his assistant and I) sit down. He reads a few mantras on the fruit (3-4 different fruit) and place them on a place of worship. Opens a container that I had bought. Gives me a pack of tissues and asks me to clean the inside of the container. We split open a few cardamoms from a packet (I had bought them). Then he gives me mouthful of the seeds to chew and puts the rest into the empty container. I chew and chew and chew while he does a bit of mantras again and again. Then I spit everything in my mouth into the empty container. He asks me to sip some water and spit that too into the container. I do so and I see the contents of the container catch fire. The assistant promptly takes the container and closes it with a lid and goes into the corner of the room and put an orange cloth over it. Oh he captures the devil in the container alright. The priest stands up and tells me that was the baby and the mother devil. The father devil is still inside me (don't laugh). It will cost me upwards of 3.5k AUD to resolve it. Solution: make a statue of five metals with my name written on it. And then he will do his sorcery. All this happened in his home. There was language barrier too. These guys are South Indian. I am not.
What the damn just happened.
Same here
