a nice, all encompassing quote.
"In any religion, there is room for perversion of the religious doctrine"
- Wade Davis
..
A lock of a girls hair brings good luck.
If you lay a broom across the doorway at night, a witch can't come in and hurt you.
Having a woman visit you the first thing on Monday mornings is bad luck for the rest of the week.
Don't borrow or lend salt because that is bad luck.
If you sweep trash out of the house after dark you will sweep away your luck.
Don't shake a tablecloth outside after dark or someone in your family will die.
To stop a Voodoo spell being placed upon you, acquire some bristles from a pig cooked at a Voodoo ritual, tie the bristles into a bundle and carry them on you at all times.
If a woman sprinkles some salt from her house to yours, it will give you bad luck until you clean the salt away and put pepper over your door sill.
If a woman wants her husband to stay away from other woman, she can do so by putting a little of her blood in his coffee, and he will never quit her.
If a woman's husband dies and you don't want her to marry again, cut all of her husband's shoes all in little pieces, just as soon as he is dead, and she will never marry again.
You can give someone a headache by taking and turning their picture upside down.
You can harm a person in whatever way you want to by getting a lock of his hair and burning some and throwing the rest away.
You can make a farmer's well go dry by putting some soda in the well for one week, each day; then drawing a bucket of water out and throwing it in the river to make the well go dry.

"the mind is like an insect's wing, it is fragile and easily broken" -Unknown (II)
In my quest to create an illustrated medical journal I have been researching the different articles i have chosen, the first about synthetic blood, and the second about the psychological triggers of depression.
I found the quote above while I have been researching and have decided to incorporate the insect wing motif into my work, the triangle represents the consciousness as triangles can be associated with religious belief (e.g. the holy trinity) and the mind, body and the soul. The shape also refers to the patterns made by writing the chemical symbols for the elements found in the body.
