  the 
  Auki 
  strikes 
  the 
  brujo 
  and 
  the 
  sick 
  one 
  with 
  the 
  whip. 
  After 
  this 
  

   performance, 
  the 
  brujo 
  lights 
  the 
  room, 
  finishes 
  the 
  things 
  on 
  the 
  table 
  

   left 
  by 
  the 
  Auki, 
  takes 
  the 
  20 
  centavos, 
  and 
  departs. 
  

  

  Curing 
  is 
  also 
  done 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  colored 
  clays. 
  The 
  patient 
  is 
  first 
  

   massaged 
  with 
  red 
  clay, 
  then 
  with 
  black, 
  then 
  with 
  blue. 
  The 
  three 
  

   clays 
  are 
  then 
  put 
  into 
  a 
  vessel 
  of 
  boiling 
  urine, 
  and 
  the 
  brujo 
  dis- 
  

   covers 
  the 
  cause 
  of 
  the 
  illness 
  from 
  the 
  resulting 
  vapors. 
  In 
  some 
  

   places 
  the 
  guinea 
  pig 
  is 
  used 
  for 
  this 
  kind 
  of 
  divination. 
  The 
  animal 
  

   is 
  beaten 
  against 
  the 
  patient, 
  then 
  skinned 
  and 
  examined 
  in 
  order 
  to 
  

   make 
  a 
  diagnosis 
  and 
  prescribe 
  the 
  cure 
  (Castro 
  Pozo, 
  1924, 
  pp. 
  266 
  fi.). 
  

  

  Diviners 
  are 
  much 
  used 
  in 
  cases 
  of 
  robbery. 
  The 
  divination 
  is 
  

   usually 
  done 
  with 
  coca 
  supplied 
  by 
  the 
  client. 
  The 
  leaves 
  are 
  thrown 
  

   into 
  the 
  air 
  over 
  a 
  cloth 
  or 
  shawl, 
  and 
  the 
  direction 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  thief 
  

   has 
  gone 
  is 
  determined 
  by 
  the 
  moving 
  of 
  the 
  leaves. 
  Payment 
  is 
  

   made 
  in 
  accordance 
  with 
  the 
  value 
  of 
  the 
  objects 
  stolen. 
  If 
  the 
  

   divination 
  proves 
  efficacious, 
  extra 
  payment 
  is 
  made. 
  

  

  In 
  some 
  regions 
  (Piura 
  and 
  Lambayeque) 
  sorcerers 
  act 
  in 
  assembly 
  

   in 
  behalf 
  of 
  their 
  clients, 
  but 
  apparently 
  the 
  more 
  common 
  case 
  is 
  for 
  

   the 
  brujo 
  to 
  act 
  alone.
