"Chilling Discoveries: 26 People Uncover Disturbing Notes"

A Reddit user, who is a native Arabic speaker, came across a creepy note containing Arabic symbols and random numbers and letters. The note appears to be related to black magic, mentioning names like Asmaa and Ahmed, as well as the word Allah. The last line is difficult to interpret, but it could either mean "talisman for woman's wellness and beauty" or "talisman for Hassan and the Bitter Camels." The user advised others to discard the note unless it was specifically intended for them.

Magical Thinking on the Rise During Health Crises

Magical thinking, or the belief in the power of talismans and other objects, can play an important role in coping with health crises, especially when medicine and science can't provide a guarantee. Studies suggest that magical thinking can ease anxiety and uncertainty, and give people hope and a sense of control. However, becoming too attached to a talisman can have drawbacks, and it's important to ask oneself if it's helpful or not. Assigning good meaning to the object, using it mindfully, and taking it out at the right times are signs of healthy behavior.
