.GEORGIA WITCHCRAFT
PROMISES RELIEF
FOR MOST ILLS
•
By Julian Granger
U.P. Statf Correspondent
•
ATLANTA. Ga (U.P.)—Do you
have warts or asthma? Is that,
mad dog troubling you? Has
somsone bewitched your cream
so that the butter won't come?
Relief can be yours, according
to the believers, if you try witch
craft. The practice of its myster
ies started with the Pharaohs,
and today it still has thousands
of devotees in Georgia.
For instance, in t.ho pmey
woods of South Georgia, believ
ers in witchcraft have just the
thing to cure asthma.
The sufferer first bores a hole
in the front door of his home
and then stuffs a lock of hair in
it. Someone else is called in to
drive a stob in the hole, tightly
binding the lock of hair. When
the loose ends are snipped off
with scissors, asthma is supposed
to disappear.
Cure for Warfs
Warts, the witchcraftsman sa> s.
will disappear if sprinkled with
earth from a new-made grave.
And if that mad dog bite is get
ting bad, just rub it with a few
sprouts of churchyard grass and
you'll bp fixed up.
Just as witchcraft can bless, so
it. can curse. Recently, police fo
und fresh evidence that witch
craft still is practised in Atlanta
from a “cursed" merchant.
Every morning when he opened
his shop, he told officers, he
found a circle of salt before his
door. The Egyptians originated
the use of salt to bring on a
curse. Strewn in a circle before
a door, salt means that death
will come to tire house.
I
Again. when the plight of ;
Juanita MsMiohen, 19. who was j
suffering an eight-day siege of j
hiccoughs, was publicized, most j
of the suggested remedies from
interested callers came directly ■
from the lore of witchcraft.
Metal "Sure Cure"
One suggestion was that a'
nickel and a dime be boiled in
water and the brew given to
her. For ages, any kind of metal
has been regarded by the super
stitious as a sure-cure of what
ails you. In Georgia, an amulet
about the neck or a horseshoe
over the door is the usual prac
tice with metals.
The wary male in this state is
rarely without some object of
metal in his pocket that he can
rub across his fingers whenever
he feels the Evil Eye on him.
But, like the general scheme
of witchcraft, the use of metal j
works both ways. To touch it if
you are already under enchant
ment, says the practitioners, is
to court disaster.
Witchcraft’s fool-proof charm,
however, according to its belie
vers, is this: Sweep dew into
your hands on a May morning
and then chant whatever your
heart desires.
That ons is supposed never to
fail.
