Black magic is a term that is often associated with the use of supernatural powers for harmful or malicious purposes. It is believed to involve the invocation of evil spirits or demons to perform acts that can cause harm, misfortune, or even death to others. True black magic, as the name suggests, refers to the practice of this malevolent form of magic that is believed to be both powerful and dangerous. It is often thought to involve the use of rituals, spells, or other occult practices to manipulate or control the forces of nature or the spiritual realm. One of the key elements in true black magic is the belief in the existence of dark or malefic entities that can be tapped into and harnessed for personal gain or to harm others. Practitioners of true black magic are said to have the ability to communicate with and command these entities, using them to carry out their desires or intentions.
Mascots
During the first year of classes (1932-1933), Boise Junior College students picked the Bronco mascot because it represented the wild horses that roamed the Owyhees. In 1935 and 1936 the student body constructed paper and wooden broncos, nicknamed Elmer. The mascot was paraded downtown and set on fire before each homecoming game, and “From his ashes rises the spirit of new conquests and victories.”
Throughout the 1960s various live animal horses represented the Broncos. The first horse was Spyieche, a white Appaloosa stallion seen in the 1966 yearbook. After other horses were dedicated mascots, President John Barnes recommended the Associated Student Body president and College Union Director encourage the students to create a costumed mascot similar to the Idaho State Bengal.
The first costumed mascot, named Buster Bronco, appeared in Fall 1974. The first mention of his appearance comes from a letter dated October 15, 1974 from Dr. Barnes to Mr. Andy Reynolds, congratulating Andy on a great performance as Buster Bronco at the Idaho State vs. Boise State football game (October 12). Barnes mentioned that Andy’s performance was much better than before, suggesting the first act might have been the football game versus University of Nevada, Reno on October 5th. The Idaho Statesman and Arbiter newspapers make no mention of mascots for any games in October 1974.
In the 1990s, the cheerleaders introduced a second, and female, Buster Bronco. In the late 1990s, the live horse Bronco returned to football games, a tradition that continues into the 2010s. In 2002, Athletics adopted an athletics-specific Bronco logo, which lasted until 2012 when the entire University transition to a unified brand.
Practitioners of true black magic are said to have the ability to communicate with and command these entities, using them to carry out their desires or intentions. However, it is important to note that the concept of true black magic is highly subjective and varies across different cultures and belief systems. What may be considered as true black magic in one culture, may be seen as a harmless or even beneficial practice in another.

BSUs Latest Buster Mascot Revealed to be 2014 Miss Idaho
Each year at Boise State University, Buster Bronco takes to the fields and courts of various sports to bring excitement to the crowds and additional fun to the games. The true identity of Buster is usually kept secret for as long as possible. The latest mascot kept the secret for the entire season and only just revealed their identity, and I’m stunned.
The secret identity of Buster Bronco was revealed on Facebook recently and it turned out to be Sierra Sandison. Sierra was able to pull off the mascot duties while keeping on top of her classwork at BSU as she studied mechanical engineering.
The Secret Identity of BSU Bronco Mascot Revealed
Possibly more impressive than keeping her identity secret, she was able to graduate Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor’s of science and minoring in computer science, biomedical engineering, and applied mathematics.
Get our free mobile appSierra is an inspiration to all as she has worked so hard to achieve so much while setting an example to those who have been told they can’t do something. In an Instagram post, she shares her experience doing all she has done while facing the hardships that come with having type 2 diabetes.
I had the honor of meeting Sierra in 2014 when she became Miss Idaho and helped me participate in the ice bucket challenge. Watch until the middle of the video (or skip to it) for a surprise:

BSU’s Buster Bronco Lives a Double Life as Another College’s Mascot
Buster Bronco is a beloved part of Boise State Athletics. You can see him at every home football game sporting a #0 Boise State football jersey and a #54 orange basketball jersey for basketball games. He is the spirit of Boise State Athletics and the ultimate hype horse. Buster Bronco bleeds blue and orange.. or does he?
Boise State's very own mascot may be leading a double life 1,500 miles away from here in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I was astonished (and a little offended) to learn that Western Michigan University's mascot is ALSO a bronco whose name ALSO happens to be Buster!
For the record, Buster Bronco of Boise State has been around since 1932. He didn't start hanging around Western Michigan until 1981 and wasn't formally adopted by WMU's athletic department until 1988. So yes, Bronco Buster has been with Boise State far longer than he's been with Western Michigan.
Now we know we can't be the only bronco mascot to exist. There are plenty of other broncos out there like the Denver Broncos, of course. They have two official bronco mascots - one named Miles and the other Thunder. These are obviously two completely different broncos. But Buster Bronco?! Sorry WMU, but the college sports scene ain't big enough for the two of us.
If Boise State really wanted to, they could trademark Buster Bronco as a mascot just how they trademarked their iconic blue turf. As for Buster Bronco, it's time to decide where the loyalty lies. Pick a team, Buster.
The resemblance is honestly uncanny!
In many societies, black magic is often associated with witchcraft and sorcery, and those who practice it are traditionally seen as witches or sorcerers. These individuals are often feared and ostracized, as their ability to manipulate supernatural forces is seen as a threat to the well-being and safety of others. In some cases, true black magic is believed to be performed with the assistance of physical objects or ingredients, such as talismans, potions, or even body parts of animals. These objects are thought to possess special powers or energies that can be channeled and used for the practitioner's purposes. It is worth mentioning that the existence of true black magic is highly debated and often dismissed as superstition or folklore by skeptics. Many argue that the effects attributed to black magic can often be explained through psychological or scientific means, rather than supernatural forces. In conclusion, true black magic is a contentious and complex topic that encompasses a range of beliefs, practices, and cultural interpretations. While it may be considered as a powerful and malicious form of magic by some, others dismiss it as mere superstition or misunderstanding. Regardless of one's belief, the concept of black magic continues to intrigue and captivate the imagination of many..
