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.

 

Love oath

When a girl or a wife wants to make a love potion for her lover or husband she takes a glass of water and an empty bowl in which she will perform ritual washing of the body. This ritual is done after the woman has taken a shower, since according to folk belief love oaths (basme) have power only when they are uttered by a person with a clean body. Before she commences ritual cleansing the woman repeats the verse Ihlas five times.

 

N. me elif, you elif,

you were muti

whatever I'm doing you are doing

look with my eyes (wash eye lids three times)

hear with my ears (wash ears three times)

speak with my mouth (wash mouth three times)

operate with my hands (wash hands three times)

walk with my feet (wash feet three times)

veledalin amin from God amin.

 

The water which was used to wash the mentioned body parts is stored in a small bottle and is kept until a suitable moment when it can be poured in the lovers/husbands coffee or juice. When she completes this she then blows three times in the direction of the juice or coffee and swallows the spit in her mouth.
