Great stuff!
But let's compare these with this:

Matthew 5:43 YE HAVE HEARD THAT it hath been said, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR, AND HATE THINE ENEMY.

Matthew 5:44 BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM that curse you, DO GOOD to them that hate you, and PRAY FOR THEM which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for HE MAKETH HIS SUN to RISE ON the EVIL and on the GOOD, and sendeth rain on the JUST and on the UNJUST.

IF YOU LOVE YOU DON'T NEED TO INFUENCE AND USE REMOTE CONTROL ON ANOTHER BY EVIL POWER NOR DO HARM, EVEN TO YOUR ENEMY.

GOD IS LOVE AND WE SHOULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

Jesus is LORD!

Claps! Claps!! Claps!!!

This is classic strategy to share the gospel

I am most intrigued by inventions of "Kanako" and "ofe" by our forefathers. These two charms would make Harry potter and his minions jealous of African science. As a scientist, "Kanako" is a called road shortener, actually it should be called "space-time manipulator". How were our fathers able to develop these potent charms that rubbishes modern physics law of relativity? Ofe is simply a simpler form of "space-time manipulations", in those days, "ofe" was only invoked when in danger.

Now, my thoughts:
1. Could our forefathers have used Kanako to travel from one point to another while migrating?


On a softer note, there existed a form of Kanako in Igbo culture. With Kanako, you could travel from Lagos to Kano in a matter of seconds!

Maybe gatiano can have a few explanations on this...

I like your thoughts on road shortener, but their is always a price to pay for Kanako, especially. It is often used on urgent matters, dire situation and when you are running out of time to save an important situation. When you use it, your spirit will still come back and walk that same distance in the middle of the night.

.or it takes you to a dangerous and unexpected destination, on top of a tree, in the middle of wild forest or inside water and you cannot swim....

1.Ijaya
(To Frighten). A charm used in frightening an adversary or an antagonist in a place of work, school e.t.c or is there anyone you want to take advantage of that you want him/her to keep mute while you express your opinion and explore every good things to your advantage. Ijaya will do it all. it causes overwhelming fear unreasonably to human and animals.

2.Eru
(Fear) if you place someone on "Eru" he or she will be afraid of you for life when around your vicinity

3.Mayehun (Refuse me not) it is used when you want a person to grant your request after a command is made) could be used in wooing a lady, request money from people, Miser, tight-fisted friend or wealthy man. There is a simple incantation that goes with some Mayehun formulas:

"In Yoruba Language; Orun Lo ngba towo omode Orun Lo ngba towo agba " x5

Translation: "Sleep takes from the young Sleep takes from the old Part of the preparation goes thus. You put a cowry (cowrie shell) in each hand when going to sleep . The following morning it would have dropped from your hands. Pick them up and pound them (to powder) with the herbs"

4.Afose
(To Speak and come to pass or Speak and happen) is a quite advance form of Ase. it is usually prepared with black soap
and put inside an Animal's horn e.g Cow's, Antelope's, Cow' e.t.c
Whenever Afose is Spoken with happens immediately or later in the future depending on the potency of the charm or the nature
of the issue the Afose is addressing.

Yoruba forefathers possessed some Afose to address nature elements such as rain, fire, outbreak e.t.c and on the negative size to curse(Epe)
I personally had one that i use to stop a car from starting also have seen one that is use to dry up a very big tree in three days.
The tree was cursed with that Afose
with Afose you could place a curse on somone or any Object be it animated or Non.

5.Gbetugbetu
This is more of a hypnotizing charm. The person under the spell doesn't really know what he is doing. It is used in compelling people to do the most impossible things. Things they would naturally not do or refuse to do. It is somewhat difficult to prepare but there are some simple formulas too, however they also vary in degree of potency. The powerful ones that I know has in it as part of its ingredients the rope that a man hanged himself with. To illustrate its power I would narrate an incident that happened which was manipulated by the use of Gbetugbetu. A friend once used it to call a stubborn but pretty lady into his room. (Normally she would have shunned him right off.) When she got inside he commanded her to strip, which she instantly did, but he didn't touch her. 3 days later the girl came to her senses, she confronted my friend and an argument broke out. It was settled but after that incident the girl avoided my friend from then onwards. Moral of story -- You don't play such jokes 'cos you've got the power. Our forefathers used it when they were attacked by a gang of thieves; they just commanded them to fight (each other) or hand over their weapons

6.Olugbohun
The "sound picker." It is believed to be a powerful spirit that picks whatever is said and makes it happen, if not immediately very soon. (Even if u mistakenly curse your children out of frustration.) Now this is not a genie that will drop things physically in front of you, like food, wine and a flying carpet. However it will create a situation that will cause your request to be met. It is not kept in the house but far away in the bush and its consulted only once in a while.

7.Ase
(To command Power and authority) it has the ability to make whatever Statement you make to come to pass or happen or ability to compel anything to compel to your will which include Animated and inanimated object)

I am aware that Pastors use these charms to gather followers and display "miracles".

Europeans never saw "miracles", that we claim to be doing.
Wetin Pastors do una again?
BTW,if these charms are so potent many of these powers will not be outsourced to those "Pastors "those babalawo too will come to cities,establish "churches" and become babaOLOWO instead of always boasting of those beggarly powers.
When these people met the likes of Ayo Babalola,wetin dem do?Just because pple meet disco-dancing churchgoers they think those are Christians.
