Quenching your ‘fire’ - Thursday born

  By Solomon Mensah

Cola Nut

In a part of series of discussions on applying for loan and its consequences, the head of Black Herbal Clinic has on Monday, 19^th August, 2013, outlined the spiritual antidote to Thursday borns in their lives.

Alhaji Akanayo said on Nsem Pii, Happy FM, that people born on Thursday could make use of cola nut known in the Akan parlance as “bese” to spiritually forestall success in their lives.

He said that in Thursday borns fighting their debt, women should look for eight (8) cases of cola nut and men, seven (7) cases. Grind or pound the cases of the cola nut you have collected, add “amonkyem”- locally manufactured traditional soap, and as well add water to it. Wash (with water) your hair with the pounded mixture.

Alhaji Akanayo also said that Thursday borns who would want a “blessing mouth” should get themselves a type of calabash called ‘thread calabash- Ahoma koraa.” Eight (8) for women and seven (7) for men. “Collect the very linen covering cola nut after the hard case of the cola nut has been taken off. Eight (8) for women and seven (7) for men,” he noted. He said that a collective of eight and seven pieces of the linen of the cola should be put into each of eight and seven calabashes respectively. Add water to all of them. This process should be done on Wednesday night. On next Thursday, begin the drinking from the calabashes. Drink from a calabash each per a day; pour water from the calabash- eight (for women) times and seven (for men) times into your palm and drink one after the other (in terms of the pouring).

In drawing off ‘bad eye’ and attracting a ‘good eye’ for a Thursday born child who has not reached puberty, take the back of a cola nut tree. Divide it into eight – girl and seven - boy, and put them into a container. Add any perfume of your choice to it. This should be done on Wednesday night and all the perfume smeared on the child on Thursday while saying “may a good eye find you wherever you are and bad eye skips you,” he observed.

The Dabodabo Man said that Thursday borns in averting bad luck should look for a type of cola nut which is naturally half red and half white. Divide it into two; put the red into your left palm and the white in the right palm. Say “I cancel bad luck in my life” eight times- women, seven times – men while chewing the red cola nut. In chewing the white cola nut, say “I want good luck in my life” eight and seven times respectively.

For a retentive memory for a child, collect white cola nut, eight pieces- women and seven – men. Grind or chew the white cola nut and pour it into the bathing water of the child. After bathing him or her, do not towel the child but leave the water to dry on the child naturally. The child should be young that he or she needs bathing by someone.

The Dabodabo Man promised continuing with that of the rest of the days.
