I know i wouldnt wanna be spreading my urine through out my > house lol The use of urine (a.k.a. chamber lye) to protect a house as well as to draw customers to a business is found extensively in African-based systems of magic, including African-American hoodoo and the magical practices associated with African-diaspora religions such as Santeria and Vodoun. Ammonia, recommended by tegan's Santero friend, is what gives urine much of its smell, by the way, so the two things are closely related. In practical work, urine is not "spread around the house," as you imagined, however -- it is used to dress the door-step of the premises, and is sometimes mixed with other ingredients, such as salt (for protection) or cinnamon and sugar (to draw customers). You may "lol" all you want, but don't be surprised if others, whose traditions and forms of spell-casting you are mocking, conclude from your behaviour that you a very ignorant little "nile princess" indeed. cordially, cat yronwode Hoodoo in Theory and Practice -- http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodoo.html No personal e-mail, please; just catch me in usenet; i read it daily.
