Vavanz pa-dughwe or
Vavanz thliɓa-pat-dughwe
This vavanza is used for marriage.
You rub it on your finger and touch
her and she will not like another
person. Pat-dughwe means to charm
a woman. Thliɓa (we do not know
the meaning of the word) is the target
for this type of vavanza.
It is owned by the Ɗagha
peacemaker lineage and they
only give you a little bit by
request.
Vavanz maswa’a
(maswa’a refers to something
that stops you getting what
you want or stops you from
doing what you want to do.)
If you have vavanz maswa'a someone
cannot harm you because he has not
the time or just cannot get around to
it. Unfortunately it can also stop you
getting married if you have it.
Normally people use it against
someone so that he cannot find a
wife. However, if you want to stop a
person taking you to court you might
go and get vavanz maswa’a to tie it
around your neck or wrists, but in a
hidden way. Someone might still take
you to court but he will not win his
case against you.
It is owned by the Ɗagha
peacemaker lineage who are
the only ones who can grow
it.
The Gaɗagha mix this vavanza with
excrement from a group of people
one might want to get rid of from a
village. They take the mixture and
throw it out of the settlement. If these
people want to fight when they are
asked to leave, everybody gets ready
with their weapons. Now they realise
that they can only run away. If the
Gaɗagha want an individual to leave
they take some soil/sand from
underneath their feet and mix it with
vavanz kwayaga and that person will
not come back home.
The Ɗagha peacemaker
lineage owns this vavanza
and they prepare it with
certain ingredients and then
apply it to achieve the
requested purpose.
This vavanza makes you not fear
anything. Someone who has vavanz
magarha (Plate 63b in Table 12a)
cannot scare you if you get this
vavanza. Like vavanz magarha,
people plant it near their houses. If
something comes to your house and
wants to frighten you, you come out
with confidence to face the danger.
It can be bought from a
member of the Ɗagha
peacemaker lineage.
Vavanz ghuza’a
(see also vavanz makrta)
If a Ɗagha drops it where people
gather, a fight will emerge and blood
might be shed.
It is owned by the Ɗagha
peacemaker lineage.
Vavanz wita (disappear)
For example a thief might use it to
disappear because he is frightened of
being prosecuted. While people are
busy planning their action against
him he will just disappear from their
midst or where they kept him. It helps
thieves after they have been caught.
You will not know when the thief
will disappear. A thief would get
back to his house mysteriously.
The Ɗagha peacemaker
lineage owns it, but they will
only give very small portions
of it. Also, not every Ɗagha
peacemaker possesses it.
Vavanz kwayaga
(kwayaga is the name of a
particular bird but we do not
know which one. The bird is
small and black and some
have a black beak. They
always follow domestic
animals but the bird is
considered as very shy.)
Vavanz gashifa
(The word gashifa means you
feel relaxed in yourself and it
creates self-confidence.)
