[As far as I can remember there are few rites concerned with buttons in HOODOO. General folklore has a fair number of them - 21 in FACI, 1st ed., lndex.] Takin' a button off 'is undahwear down dere an' wearin' it. (You take that off this man, the button down in front. What do you do with it?) Yuh take an' wear it aroun' yuh on a string an' dey say he cain't leave yuh.
