regndoft... "A particularly cruel method was to catch a snake, stick a needle and a thread through both of its eyes and then let it go. The man murmured during this despicable ritual a verse, for example:
"Like the snake longs for its sight,
So you shall always long for me".
He then fastened the needle to the woman's clothes, in the hope that a strong, burning love would soon light up in her heart."

... Love magic. It is kind of terrifying.
Poor snakes.
