THE STRAIGHT POOP ABOUT CASTING SPELLS

THE STRAIGHT POOP ABOUT CASTING SPELLS

CHICO, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- A sorcery expert is revealing the straight poop about ancient witchcraft: Shamans often used poo in their potions. That's according to Michael Langevin, publisher of "Magical Blend" magazine, who says ancient sorcerers used whatever materials were at hand for their spells -- including human excrement. It may sound gross, but Langevin says pagans believed "base objects" possessed tremendous energy for certain spells. Some ancient sorcerers believed you could absorb the essence of a powerful person just by eating his or her poo. Other pagans mixed poo with belladonna, henbane and animal fat and ingested the foul mixture to feel like as if they were flying. Although it has a long, rich history, Langevin admits poo's popularity has declined with modern-day sorcerers like Harry Potter.
