Maiden magic unlike marital magic is full of various divinations, usage
of basmi, magical poetry and movement rituals which follow oral magic. Girls as
well as boys frequently address the local Imam (Hodža) who then crafts love
inscriptions on their behalf, they hold various citations from the Qur'an,
numbers and letters with an addition of a drawing of a triangle or a circle.
The young people carry them with themselves or they place it under the
threshold of the person they love. The first Friday after the new moon is
reserved for love magic and inscriptions.
Basme are magical formulas or texts of a shorter or longer content which teem with rhyme and reference of a supernatural being such as a fairy in order to invoke fervour and passion in the desired person. For a basma (oral charms) to work they need to be invoked in a state of bodily cleanliness, most often at night and always after repeating verse Ihlas three or five times, since according to belief the verse grants magical power.
Among the people it is believed that the power of a basma is best expressed if it is invoked before Eid al-Fitr, Laylatul Qadr or some other festival and among sunsets, in intervals between 17 and 21 hours.
MARITAL MAGIC
When a husband was aggressive and when he would abuse his wife, she would take a fist full of dust from a grave and while her husband was sleeping she would throw the dust on him. Besides this, women used to mix their menstrual blood with coffee or they would give their husbands a sugar cube that was previously wiped through her vagina.

MARITAL MAGIC
Unlike
the previously described magic, this form of magical practice is much more
aggressive and richer in content and props, the usual props include pubic hair,
menstrual blood, sperm, urine and spit. It is believed that pubic hair
possesses magical powers; if they are trimmed frequently and burned in fire
they create a prophylactic effect and shield that person from black magic.
Also, if a woman burns her pubic hair she stimulates passionate love in her
husband with such an act.
