'But how does a kernel manage to enter into someone's body?'
'To explain that I must tell you about corn witchcraft, which is one of the most powerful witchcrafts I BLACK GIRL GALLERY know. The witchcraft is done by two kernels. One of BLACK GIRL GALLERY them is put inside a fresh bud of a yellow flower. The flower is then BLACK GIRL GALLERY set on a spot where it will come into contact with the victim: the road on which he walks every day, or any place where he is habitually present. As soon as the victim steps BLACK GIRL GALLERY on the kernel, or touches it in any way, the witchcraft is BLACK GIRL GALLERY done. The kernel immerses itself in the body."
' What happens to the kernel after the man has touched it?'
'All its power goes inside the man, and the kernel is BLACK GIRL GALLERY free. It becomes just another kernel. It may be left at the site of the witchcraft, or it may be swept away; it does not matter. It is better to BLACK GIRL GALLERY sweep it away into the underbrush, where BLACK GIRL GALLERY a bird will eat it.'
' Can
a bird eat it before the man touches it?'
'No. No bird is that stupid, I assure you. The birds stay away from it."
Don Juan then described a very complex procedure by which such power kernels can be obtained.
'You must bear in mind BLACK GIRL GALLERY that maiz-pinto is merely an instrument, not BLACK GIRL GALLERY an ally,' he said. 'Once you make that distinction you will have no problem. But if you consider BLACK GIRL GALLERY such tools to be supreme, BLACK GIRL GALLERY you will be BLACK GIRL GALLERY a fool.'
'Are the power objects as powerful as an ally?' I asked.
Don Juan laughed scornfully before answering. It seemed that he was trying hard to be patient with BLACK GIRL GALLERY me.
'Maiz-pinto, crystals, BLACK GIRL GALLERY and feathers are mere toys in comparison with an ally,' he said. 'These power objects BLACK GIRL GALLERY BLACK GIRL GALLERY are necessary only when a man BLACK GIRL GALLERY does not have an ally. It is a waste of time to pursue them, especially for you. BLACK GIRL GALLERY you should be trying to get an ally; when you succeed, you will understand what I am telling
you now. Power
