ABSTRACT
It is now time to examine some of the love charms, but first it should be noted that if one has to buy the ingredients for a charm, they will be much more powerful if the money used in payment has been obtained in a certain manner. Thus to make a husband cleave to a wife, the latter should beg one-seventh of the sum from each of seven wives who have had only one husband, and have been the sole wives. Again, in other cases, the money would be obtained from seven persons of the same name, and these would preferably be namesakes of the person making the charm, though I am told that this is not always so, as instances are known of a mallam telling the applicant to go to others.
