Does anybody knows what these are?

English is not my first language so I apologize for any grammatical mistakes. On the 26th of March, my younger sister and her friends found these folded paper in our street. She showed it to me and I found it really bizzare, our hair stood up. She also said that the plastic with a triangle, contained a cross (I am not sure if it was a pendant or wooden carving), but her friends took it and so they were not able to take a picture of it. Also, I believe this is not the original copy, but a printed copy cause it is noticeable. What I am certain of is that the original copy is surely written by hand.

My first thought was, these are used by 'mangkukulam' or witch because of the Latin words. I have seen a lot of witches in movies using Latin chants to cast spell. IDK. Let me know what u think.

My friend turned out to be schizophrenic and would fall into periods of constantly drinking alcohol, smoking weed and cigarettes, and not sleeping, and this stuff was always the result.

Reminds me of when Bam Margera created an entire language when he was completely out of it.

But he’s not schizophrenic right? My friend was bipolar and he found the meaning of life through bees during an episode before he walked in front of a Mac truck

'Delusions of Grandeur' is not exclusive to schizophrenia. It's where you end up with a lot of mental illnesses when they're turned up to 11. I had a bipolar uncle who though God was speaking to him through spiders. A lot of schizophrenic people go wild on numbers though and the patterns in OPs look very similar. Binging on certain drugs or sleep depravsion can cause the same thing too!

I sometimes feel like they should change the name. These disturbed people are sometimes very humble and think you are insulting them when you say it. This bitch thinks that I think I'm some kind of king? Um no. Look at me lol.

As far as delusions of granduer are concerned. I would call them cryptic delusions. Stuff they think needs decoded. They sometimes think these codes are common we just can't see them for some reason.

wrote a book on my drug induced psychosis episode and how strange it was looking back on the behavior... but at the time it was just second nature and i had no awareness of how unusual and out of character my thinking and actions were.... actually terrifying at the time maybe the most scared i have ever been in my life ....

for about a week this went on and eventually my fight or flight kicked in and i broke down had no drugs to keep me going and slept on my friends floor for days on and off before getting the energy and mindfulness to move onto a couch and start breaking down what happened over that time

..meth, no sleep, extremely stressful living conditions and 1,4b addiction was a drag on my life for a long time...

thats probably fairly tame as far as situations those things have taken me into...

ive been in hospital and ICU many times, and police stations and car crashes and things no one should be finding themselves in ....

a product of my environment from early on i guess but doing ok now!

STAY SAFE GUYS SORRY FOR TALKING YOUR EARS OFF! :D :D

There's so many things like that in psychology that is just completely antithetical to a charitable name. Delusions of grandeur, as you said, selective mutism, delusional parasitosis, etc.

Yeah ADHD used to be called Minimal Brain Dysfunction. While ADHD may be a more kind name it arguably isn't any more accurate to the condition.

mania is associated with delusions of granduer, a feeling of invincibility or the ability to take on the world, i wouldnt characterize that at all the same as... whatever is going on in Ops post/diagrams. Its possible for there to be multiple types of delusions, some humble and some not so much.

Yeah can confirm, I’m bipolar type 2, and before I was diagnosed I got put on some antidepressants (venaflaxine I think) that kick started a serious hypo-manic episode and started to believe I was put here on earth to save humanity and shit like that
