CREATION OF A NAIL FETISH

Background:

The Nail Fetish is a type of servitor used in some areas of Africa. It is composed of a Fetish Figure, the

Fetish itself, and nails. The Fetish Figure is generally carved from wood, but this rite utilizes wax

instead. The actual Fetlsh is a pouch containing ingredients such as those listed below empoweredfor a specific purpose. The Fetish bag is hung around the nec! of the Figure or placed in a hole in its

 body. "nce the owner has created the Fetish, s#he drives a nail into the Figure each time its power is

used. $hen there is no more room for nails, the power of the Fetish is gone and it is time for allmaterials to be destroyed. The Fetish created by means of this ritual is for the purpose of protection and

defense.

The items needed for the creation of a Nail Fetish are% easily malleable wax beeswax is suggested& a

small closeable pouch or bag& myrrh incense& one pac!age of medium sized nails per person& Fetishmaterials whatever stri!es you as important to the purpose of protection 'African regulars include

such pleasantries as ground bone, teeth, (aws, leaves, hair, blood, spit, bile, and herbs)& and if desired,

small bells hung by string may also be used 'these increase the power of the Fetish). A name for the

Fetish may be determined beforehand or the participant may allow the name to come to them

spontaneously during the rite.The Rite:

'The Figurines can be moulded in any shape desired. 3nless the participant plans to hang the bag fromthe figure4s nec! 'with yarn, for instance), it is necessary to create in the stomach an orifice large

enough for the Fetish to fit into.)

5. $hen all the Figurines have been shaped, they are placed aside. 6articipants mix together theirchoice of ingredients in their pouch while naming their Fetish as protector, defender, and avenger by

chanting the word%

9. If desired, participants may now hang bells from their figure.:. The fetishes must now be brought to life. 6articipants need to give them the breath of life by placing their lips tight against the orifice containing the pouch 'or against the stomach) and blowing air

roughly out into it, emptying the lungs completely. ;et the word AN+2 come out upon the breath,

thus empowering it with life.

2enceforth, the owner will drive another nail into the Fetish each time a situation arises for which s#he

desires protection, defense or to be avenged for some wrong doing. As the nail is driven into the Fetish,

the owner should inform the Fetish of the particulars of its duty. The nails don4t hurt the fetish, theyrelease its power, so don4t start feeling sorry for your servant 'though a sadistic rush is a;ways

allowed). $hen there is no more space anywhere on the Fetish Figure for another nail, then it is time

for the Figure and its Fetish to be destroyed. The nails should go with the figure into oblivion to purposefully remove them is to negate the acticns they achieved. A participant may choose to draw asigil on the head of their nail as an added force.
