(You don't get this dirt to do anything with it?)
No. [The dirt became a hand, a captured spirit that does your will. At midnight you tell it what you want done. The spirit will answer what it will do and when it is done it also protects you from harm, especially from anyone trying to mrt you - put a spell on you.]
