Spells
The spell consists of an agreement of collaboration with the Devil to cause something bad to someone else, using the arts of sorcery or black magic. The magic will allow an object to represent the chosen individual for the charm, and the damage will generally be more efficient if the work is made by a true sorcerer or “witch”.
Evil Eyqe
It is also called “herida de ojo” or “ojo de envidia” (eye wound or eye of envy). It consists of the capacity to make something bad to someone else, only by projecting hostility on him. It is said that the look of some people is able to damage, especially children, since they are weaker. This theory, even if it seems pagan, was supported by Saint Thomas.
Fright Disease
Souls in pain, those that are in the transition between the purgatory and their final destination (heaven or hell) punish their relatives if they don't pray for their soul. Although the Catholic Church condemns the practice of sorcerers, witch doctors and wizards, the priests are usually the only ones that can cure the “fright disease.
Because of fright or fear, sick people feel weakness, depression, apathy, drowsiness and nervousness. Several indigenous groups such as the Nahuas of Zongolica, Veracruz, say that people who are sick of fear, sleep a lot during the day, they don't eat and they speak without noticing because they dream of what frightens them. At night, they sleep a little, they are startled and always restless.
Amulets
The damage can be prevented. There are magic objects for that called amulets or talismans that are carried on the body for good luck or to banish bad influences. The red color, old silver coins and coral beads are necessary elements for their making. In order to make them powerful enough, a specialist must “pray” for them.
Just like there are stands of meat, fruit or vegetables, in almost all the markets of Mexico there is also a section dedicated to these products. In these stalls there are all kinds of magic products, even rarities like toloache, opossum tails, serpent’s skin and rattlesnakes, badger legs, colorines (red beans) and powders like those of the witches: gallina negra (black hen), jorobado humillador (humilliating hunchback) or siete machos (seven males) and others. The effectiveness of these depends on the accuracy with which the user says the respective prayer and follows the printed instructions on the back of the envelope.
In order to divert harmful looks, wearing a necklace or a red ribbon is recommended.
The azabache (jet) and the ojo de venado (deer eye) are also protections from the evil eyqe and the evil air, since these absorb the damage and they get marred or explode, avoiding that the person who carries them gets injured
.
Coral is the most powerful amulet against people with a heavy look. Amber protects against evil air and envy.
The colorin seeds, pipilchichis, tlacopatle and tobacco are effective against bad spirits. Herbs like rue, rosemary and basil are useful against the powers of the goblins and the sorcerers. The male garlic cut on first Friday of March, are tied with red ribbons in the shape of a crown to frighten off bad spirits and sorcerers. They also bring good luck.
María Sabina
In Huautla de Juarez, a town in the Mazatecan area in the mountains of Oaxaca, there was a famous witch doctor called María Sabina who used hallucinogenic mushrooms to diagnose and cure diseases.
The Mazatecas use many varieties of mushrooms: those that grow on cattle excrement, the ones from San Isidro, those called little birds that grow on dead logs, and the ones called denunbe that grow in the bagasse of the sugarcane (Psilocybe caerulences). They believe mushrooms can be male, female or have both sexes, so they must be eaten in pairs. When there is a lack of mushrooms due to drought, they use the virgin's seed (datura stramonium) or pasture leaves (Tagetes Patula L) which also have hallucinogenic virtues.
Mushrooms and other hallucinogens are considered “blood and flesh of Christ” and God sends them so that they speak with the voice of a sage who can put an end to the bath things. María Sabina cured with the magic of words.
The altar of the witch doctor’s house must prevail in the healing ceremony, and both the patient and the doctor must be calm. They must have kept sexual abstinence for at least four days. After perfuming the images of the altar and lighting the candles, the witch doctor takes the mushrooms in pairs (up to 6) and sometimes the patient does the same thing. During the trance, the spirit goes to heaven or hell and speaks with the Chicon Nando (the Lord of the Hill) or with Mrs. Snake, and asks for help as he dances and celebrates a rite. After several rites the witch doctor finds the origin of the disease and diagnoses if the patient will heal soon. If the disease is serious and or if what the doctor can only see is a funeral, there will be no hope for a recovering.
María Sabina's spirit fights against the spirit causing the damage until she is able to expel it from the patient's body. The ceremony lasts until dawn.
Magic for the love and fortune
The erotic magic fulfills all the men's needs of love: it attracts the loved or wanted one and is good to keep him close, reject or dominate him.
There is a big number of tricks to achieve those things which go from making the loved one drink or eat something considered magical, for example menstrual blood, urin, hair, perspiration or pieces of fingernails, to the use of amulets or magic practices such as puppets, prayers or “indestructible bonds.
Formerly, the hummingbird, an animal that is the partner of Huitzilopochtli, was related with eroticism. Nowadays, herbalists prepare hummingbirds (also called chupamirtos or chuparrosas), either females or males depending on the client's sex. The dissected bird is wrapped up in a bag of red silk with other elements that strengthen its love power. This amulet must be carried close to the body and the corresponding prayers must be said.
Prayers for love and luck
Prayer of the Hummingbird: to make the loved one return or to keep him close.
¡Oh divine hummingbird, you give and take away the nectar of flowers! You give life and bring love to women. I give myself to you as a sinful, to your powerful fluids so that you protect me and give me the abilities to possess and to enjoy any woman I want, either maiden, married, or widow. I swear for all the spirits of the Apostles I shall not stop adoring you at any moment and I will keep you in your sacred reliquary, so that you give me what I am requesting, my beautiful hummingbird.
Directions: This prayer must be said kneeling in front of the image of a crucifix, holding a lit candle made of legitimate wax. Three Our Fathers and three Hail Marys must be prayed.
Sentence of the Goblin in combination with that of the Black Dog: I pray to dominate any person or to complete a desire.
Oh, charmed star! Oh, Beautiful Light!
You are the most privileged and loved of all heavens,
you were thrown to the Earth, despite the great power
that you had there and, in spite of being loved by
Our Lord, you were rejected because you attempted
to place your throne higher than what the Lord had ordered,
and in the same way as you were rejected for your disobedience,
I order that, with the help of Lucifer, my command be completed
in combination with the Black Dog
to dominate: (name of the person ).
Likewise, I request you Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer,
The power to have good luck, work, money,
to achieve whatever I want, and in gambling,
you Satan, with your invincible power give me luck
to win every hazard,
because in the same way you surprised the Black Dog,
surprise those who are against me.
Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer, give me power
To get everything I request
and be privileged in love matters.
Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer, I beg I can get
