The Spider and the Green Butterfly
Mesmerism is a very difficult science to learn and
to master, but the Houngans and Bocors who do indeed
have complete control over those people with whom they
interact. This is given in the context of Vodoun as an
advanced Magickal art, as one that Kalfu can perfect in a
person, opening the secret doors to the crossroads within an
individual, entering through there, and planting a demon
that will slowly mount and eventually ride the target. This
is, in fact, the most pure form of mesmerism used by the
Bocor: having on hand an evil spirit, or often several of
them at your side, ready to move at your command, and
channeling through your gaze and through the open
doorway of your victim's mind a legion of spirits all
Operating under your will and command.
Mesmerism, the true kind not often found on stages
or theaters, indeed can be called "forced possession."
Met Kalfu's Black Pin Trick -
One of the first methods of controlling the thoughts,
emotions, and actions of another person is through what I
have joking called "Met Kalfu's Black Pin Trick." I often
utilize humor to obfuscate the obvious horror of a thing,
and this is definitely a scenario wherein it seems better to
chuckle than to tremble.
From underneath stagnant water, find a lump of
moldable clay. Taking this back to your altar, opening the
Veve of Met Kalfu and calling Him down into the Homfort,
create the image of a person, forming the features of your
victim as you are able. You can write the name of the
victim on the clay effigy, or you can simply "name" it,
bringing it to life as your victim. Take^a pin that is entirely
black, and call upon Kalfu to take possession of the pin.
He will move into it, and you will name the pin "Met
Kalfu."
With the clay no longer being clay, but being your
victim, and with the pin no longer being a pin, but being
Met Kalfu, and with all of the spirits that surround you
looking on, drive the pin slowly into the forehead of your
victim, into his Third Eye, between his eyebrows. Kalfu
then spreads from the pin into the brain of your victim,
possessing that as well.
As long as Kalfu remains in your victim's head and
Third Eye, that person will be under your complete control.
The only way that this curse can be broken is by the
removal of Met Kalfu from the victim's head, which very
few, if any Houngans and Mambos are capable of doing.
The secrets taught by Met Kalfu to the Grand
Houngan who dares to call upon him are indeed secret, for
they are the hidden pathways and the fissures in the
Crossroads, and once they have been opened, they widen in
the Hougan's life. There have been instances while
practicing the methods and employing the formulas given
to me by Met Kalfu directly when I was unsure whether I
was in the physical world, or if I had entered the world of
spirit altogether. There are black shapes around me
constantly, and in the moment that my hand or even my
sight touches the cross hanging above my altar, the
pathway is split open before me. \
I have also learned through Met^^Kalfu that
concoctions may be reversed, those Wanga that would heal
instead causing harm, curses bringing the dead to life,
angels' eyes burning with hatred and all of the devils
coming to your aid. Kalfu's path is the backwards path,
wherein that which was once good is evil, and that which
once was evil is good. The waters of this current run
backwards, down instead of up, and to ride such a river is
the most dangerous and perhaps the most rewarding task.
