Below is an excerpt from my upcoming book, Vo Du Ma Gick, which will be available within a month..This is a simple, yet powerful effect and I'm sure there are many ways to do this. Mine is simple and concise, as always...
Tnanks for reading. BABA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VODOU BLOOD FROM STONE... “I am a Houngan, as you know, little Baba,” said George, reminding me of the difference between his office in Vodou and that of the Bocor, the Black Magician. “This science, it goes so deep, deep into the beyond, and beyond,” he grinned. “Let me tell you a story...its about the Bocor I once knew years ago during my training in Haiti.” George sat me down in the small park in the heart of the city. It was one of the only preserved pieces of greenery left in the borrough, and we enjoyed it often. “Now this man, he was fierce, as they all are. He helped anyone with money to acquire anything they wished. If they wanted someone killed, he had it done through the Loa; if someone wanted to cause another to be become Zombi, it was no problem, as long as the money was there for his payment.” I sat and patiently listened, as I felt the gentle summer breeze ride past us. “Once, there was a man who came to him asking for a black magic spell to be placed upon the man's cheating wife. The Bocor obliged, and set his work in motion without hesitation. The man hadn't the money to pay the Bocor, so the Bocor made him promise to pay within 21 days days or else...” “Soon, the work was done, and the Bocor waited for days for the man to return with the promised fee. 21 Days did pass, and the Bocor went searching for the man. He eventually found the man sitting on a stool in a run down Haitian bar. He approached the man, who acted as if he didn't know the magician. This made the Bocor angry, but he remained patient, and left the drunk man at the bar, promising to return,” said George in a way that made me feel I was there. “Seven days passed and again the Bocor sought the man one final time. He discovered where the man lived and wasted no time to find him. He approached the steps and pounded upon the door...the man finally answered, drunk as usual. He immediately started to chastise the drunkard, threatening that if he didn't get his money, the man would suffer. But the man acted fearless, as alcohol often does to even the most cowardly of characters. The man exclaimed, 'I don't have your stinking money...besides, my wife never returned to me...you can't take blood from stone',” yelled George, taking on the persona of an old drunk. “The Black magicians heard those last words, and swiftly grabbed the old drunk by the arm, taking him to the nearby tree.” George stood up and walked me over to a big oak, bent down and picked up a stone that was partially covered by earth. “The Bocor stared at the man, looking deep into his eyes, saying, “Oh, but I can take blood from stone...your blood.!” George looked at the stone in his hands and I Looked on, wondering what was to happen. He rubbed the stone gently and soon, blood began to run off of it and onto the ground. I was shocked. “But the difference is the old drunk began to bleed from his eyes...and soon dropped dead,” George mumbled as he wiped blood from his hands. “Then, the Bocor walked to his awaiting ride...who happened to be the drunkard's wife!” George slapped his leg in laughter, and soon, after the shock wore off, I joined him. |

Powerful story, Baba! Very nice! Blood from a stone -- neat twist on an old saying.
Brother, I await your book with bated breath! Or is that "baited" breath -- to catch and eat those little flying bugs? Oh, wait. That's for Mystician! Seriously, Baba, I will be happy when your book appears!. Bill

They let me out of the dungeon long enough to poke my head in - (busy week).
The book is due out within a month ? Awesome ! Nal, I think it's "bated" breath, where "bated" is a contraction of "abated". Oh, and I wanna see Baba bleed from his eyes ! That'd be cool !
Just hanging out with the rest of my fellow dregs.

As one who did study Voodoo for a number of years (A hobby in college...Actually found out the formlae and prep method for Zombie powder!), I gotta say that was very nicely done, loved the chill and the visual, as well as the chuckle I got from the full circle of it all.
Can't wait to see the book! Gwyd |
