  FORMULA 
  FOR 
  LOVE 
  CHARMS. 
  B75 
  

  

  facing 
  the 
  stream, 
  he 
  recites 
  the 
  formula 
  and 
  puts 
  the 
  bait 
  upon 
  the 
  

   hook. 
  He 
  will 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  pull 
  out 
  a 
  tish 
  at 
  once, 
  or 
  if 
  the 
  fish 
  are 
  

   not 
  about 
  at 
  the 
  moment 
  they 
  will 
  come 
  in 
  a 
  very 
  short 
  time. 
  

  

  The 
  YugwihY 
  is 
  put 
  upon 
  the 
  bait 
  from 
  the 
  idea 
  that 
  it 
  will 
  enable 
  

   the 
  hook 
  to 
  attract 
  and 
  hold 
  the 
  fish 
  as 
  the 
  plant 
  itself 
  seizes 
  and 
  

   holds 
  insects 
  in 
  its 
  cup. 
  The 
  root 
  is 
  much 
  prized 
  by 
  the 
  Cherokees 
  

   for 
  this 
  purpose, 
  and 
  those 
  in 
  the 
  West, 
  where 
  the 
  plant 
  is 
  not 
  found, 
  

   frequently 
  send 
  requests 
  for 
  it 
  to 
  their 
  friends 
  in 
  Carolina. 
  

  

  The 
  prayer 
  is 
  addressed 
  directly 
  to 
  the 
  fish, 
  who 
  are 
  represented 
  

   as 
  living 
  in 
  settlements. 
  The 
  same 
  expression 
  as 
  has 
  already 
  been 
  

   mentioned 
  is 
  sometimes 
  used 
  by 
  the 
  doctors 
  in 
  speaking 
  of 
  the 
  

   tsgd'ya 
  or 
  worms 
  which 
  are 
  supposed 
  to 
  cause 
  sickness 
  by 
  getting 
  

   under 
  the 
  skin 
  of 
  the 
  patient, 
  The 
  Blue 
  Cat 
  (Amiurus, 
  genus) 
  is 
  

   addressed 
  as 
  the 
  principal 
  fish 
  and-the 
  bait 
  is 
  spoken 
  of 
  as 
  the 
  "white 
  

   food.'" 
  an 
  expression 
  used 
  also 
  of 
  the 
  viands 
  prepared 
  at 
  the 
  feast 
  of 
  

   the 
  green 
  corn 
  dance, 
  to 
  indicate 
  their 
  wholesome 
  character. 
  " 
  Let 
  

   the 
  paths 
  from 
  every 
  direction 
  recognize 
  each 
  other," 
  means 
  let 
  the 
  

   fishes, 
  which 
  are 
  suppesed 
  to 
  have 
  regular 
  trails 
  through 
  the 
  water, 
  

   assemble 
  together 
  at 
  the 
  place 
  where 
  the 
  speaker 
  takes 
  his 
  station, 
  

   as 
  friends 
  recognizing 
  each 
  other 
  at 
  a 
  distance 
  approach 
  to 
  greet 
  

   each 
  other, 
  "Wahisa'nahi 
  tigiwatsi'la, 
  rendered 
  "our 
  spittle 
  shall 
  be 
  

   in 
  agreement," 
  is 
  a 
  peculiar 
  archaic 
  expression 
  that 
  can 
  not 
  be 
  liter- 
  

   ally 
  translated. 
  It 
  implies 
  that 
  there 
  shall 
  be 
  such 
  close 
  sympathy 
  

   between 
  the 
  fisher 
  and 
  the 
  fish 
  that 
  their 
  spittle 
  shall 
  be 
  as 
  the 
  spittle 
  

   of 
  one 
  individual. 
  As 
  before 
  stated, 
  the 
  spittle 
  is 
  believed 
  to 
  exert 
  an 
  

   important 
  influence 
  upon 
  the 
  whole 
  physical 
  and 
  mental 
  being. 
  The 
  

   expression 
  "your 
  spittle 
  has 
  become 
  agreeable" 
  is 
  explained 
  by 
  

   A'yu 
  n 
  ini 
  as 
  an 
  assertion 
  or 
  wish 
  that 
  the 
  fish 
  may 
  prove 
  palatable, 
  

   while 
  the 
  words 
  rendered 
  ••there 
  shall 
  be 
  no 
  loneliness" 
  imply 
  that 
  

   there 
  shall 
  be 
  an 
  abundant 
  catch.
