Entry 4077
[Urine in food or drink is a widespread belief in hoodoo and witch- craft. Examples of it have already been given in HOODOO - see 2663-2364, p.661 and elsewhere. Here in the following rites the eater or drinker has been tricked; he does not know what he has eaten or drunk. Occasionally in HOODOO a person will purposely drink his own or another person's urine; a practice lin- gering on as a deviation (uralangnia) among a few persons. Superstitions similar to these urine ones will also be found regarding menstrual blood.1 Yo' kin take yore chamber lye. Jes' lak if ah wants tuh go wit a woman, or a woman wants me tuh go wit her, either one, see. Yo' kin take yore chamber lye an' put it in some watah, or either put it into sompin tuh eat, an' dat'll run yo' fool about her - all to- gethah a fool, yo' jes' wandah away [live in a dreamland] an' yo' jis' lose out on de world.
