Some Amazon products ship to the U.S. and not to Egypt. So, my friend bought three philosophy books, shipped them to my place, and I brought them to Egypt in my bag when I came.

One of them, however, was a crazy misprinting. Inside the philosophy cover was a book on witchcraft.

Apart from being funny, it’s actually slightly dangerous. Some countries including the UAE have laws against sorcery. Imagine flying in there, get a random baggage check, and you unknowingly have a witchcraft book with a philosophy cover on it, as though you are sneaking it in. Like, what do you even say in that situation.

Not again! This is why I came to your country, someone's casting spells on me. Please help

Yikes!

so I did it for the plot and some say saints are magicians that got away with it though it's probably going to be a bad day at customs

Just do what they did in the middle ages, find a woman who isn't conforming to local norms, and claim "she put a spell on me and made me do it!"

Laus Stultitiae is a great book, but as far as I remember, it doesn't contain any magical formulas.

Friend???

It is funny that you say that. For context, I am from Colombia and lived there during the time of Pablo Escobar. In any case, my family and I were traveling to Australia to visit my brother, who was living there at the time. My mom had packed the book above. Long story short, they kept us in isolati...

Yeah, that was kinda risky. Glad you made it safely.

The main risk is if they scrutinized you for something else. Customs agents can barely keep tabs on illicit traffic of cultural treasures; to an untrained eye heirloom art looks like mere junk. I personally heard one first-hand account, around 1993, of someone who shipped a bag full of books to Chin...

That’s exactly what a witch would say!!!

WE ARE ALL WITCHES! I guess then witches aren't that special. I would look for a more exclusive coven.

If someone who claims to be your friend stabs you in the back, be wary of their friendship.

Bitcoin is sorcery in many people’s minds! The good thing is that they can’t get your BTC in an airport check HOHOHOHOHO! ✌️😌✌️
