Ritual involving the sun

When the sun starts setting behind a hill a girl looks at it and utters the following vow three times:



O ye, bright sun,

are you setting behind a hill,

with whom are you leaving me?

Leave me with my dear N.,

he doesn't love me,

he doesn't care for me.

With god's will I have placed three burdens on him;

first one is a toothache,

the second one is the pain of a woman giving birth

and the third is the pain that a man feels when Azrail rips his soul from his body.

Let him die, let him have a fit until he sees me.

Elif zalim lamim!



After that she blows in the direction of the sun three times.

 

Ritual involving a new moon

When a new moon appears a girl looking at it utters the prayer Ihlas three times and then the following vow:



O new moon, old man, young soldier,

make me as tall as a fir tree,

make me as white as a pearl,

so I can be pretty and dear to all

and to my N. the most beautiful and dearest!



After that she blows in the direction of the new moon three times.

 

Star ritual

Right after sunset, as soon as the stars appear, a girl takes a knife and sticks it into the ground under the roof of the house, at the location where drops of rain fall from the roof. While doing this she utters:



I'm not putting this knife into the ground,

but in Mujo's heart and liver,

in his 77 nerves,

88 joints (while uttering this she drives the knife harder into the ground),

and 99 bones.



After that she looks at the largest star in the sky and utters:



Small star by god my sister (she moves her hands away from the knife),

wherever you find my Mujo you shall possess him,

where you catch up to him you shall move him from his place,

strike him in his cowlick,

bring him to me!



Then she places her palms onto the ground and utters the following vow:



Dark earth by god my mother!

This vow should not grasp me nor you,

nor the encircled garden,

nor a planted tree,

nor a barren sheep,

nor a cow without a calf,

but my Mujo and his heart and liver,

his 77 nerves,

88 joints and his 99 bones.

He should die,

go crazy until he comes to me and until he talks to me!



Then she blows in the direction of the star and without turning around she goes home. Tomorrow morning, before sunup, she takes the knife out from the ground.

SIHIR AGAINST UNFAITHFUL HUSBAND



The women try to stop infidelity by a ritual washing of their underwear. A woman whose husband is unfaithful washes her panties and bras and throws them onto a bush of nacre (Ruta graveoles) so that they can dry out. She repeats that action a couple of times. It is believed that she will make his leave his lover with such a ritual.

Sihir with white chicken


For marital magic, different props are also used, such as parts of animal like the left wing of a bat or a chicken's head and tail end.

When the man is frequently absent from the house and neglects his family then the woman uses magic in order to get him back. For that purpose she finds a white chicken, cuts her head off and then places the chicken's head on the right side of the door and the tail end on the left side. When the husband passes through such a door, she connects the two parts i.e. she pushes the beak into the tail end and utters:

As this beak stays in this tail end, so will you N.
Always stay with me, veledalin amin!
After that, the connected beak and tail end is buried in the yard under a small, fertile tree, such as an apple or pear.

 

SIHIR WITH URINE

Urine is another human excrete for which it is believed that it holds magical potential. When a woman wants to stimulate love feelings in a man, she pee's into a vessel and then uses her middle finger to touch the urine and dips three drops of that urine into the coffee that she will offer to the man she wants.
