Entry 3849
[Here is one of those rites saying much in few words. Either the briefness of the rite deceived me or I was too tired to react immediately with questions.] (What do you do with the woman's period now?) Take it an' put it on a little piece of cloth, jes' LAK YO' WANTA EXAMINE YO'SELF AN' SEND YORE BLOOD OFF. PUT IT ON A PIECE OF PAPAH WHERE YO' KIN SEE IT, WHERE YO' DON'T SEE BUT NINE PIECES OF IT. Take it an' sew it up in a piece of cloth, an' drop it in runnin' watah. [Informant tells me a woman worried about her condition and wanta examine yo'- self (have yourself examined) can have her blood tested by putting 9 pieces or drops of it on a piece of paper where yo' kin see it and send (or mail) yore blood off. Several times in HOODOO I speak about doctors aping M.D.'s: the old medical kit, diploma on wall, calling themselves doctors, labeling medicine, the bright light, examining urine, etc. In the present instance we have a clever Operator who presumably gives blood tests by mail! Actually he avoids United States postal law by not appearing in the transaction, using a second person who may add another go-between. Or, if he becomes involved, he is a spiritual healer, who answers by letter: The specimen merely means God cures everything. I am working on your case. I cannot accept money for God's work. You feel bet- ter even now and soon will be cured. That will be time to send a thank offer- ing to help God's work along etc.
