Sorcery unfolds in various ways and takes forms as varied as they are multifaceted. It is sold and distributed by all means, to the point where it is very difficult today to know its sources and the subtle ways of transmission. It mixes with all sorts of things, becoming deadly as soon as one tastes it. The phenomenon of prepared money that we want to analyze here is part of this subtle transmission and differs from the phenomenon that the Fon people know as “kwedida”. The phenomenon in question here is a very refined and widely used means by sorcerers today to reach certain categories of people, in order to nail them to the sinister and macabre pillory of death.

This process consists of giving someone a sum of money in the form of coins, with the aim of causing sudden death before a certain deadline. The time required for people to be struck by death is nine days for men and seven days for women.

To bring down their victims, sorcerers invent this stratagem under which they often know how to disguise themselves without leaving any element of suspicion. The process simply involves giving someone (under the guise of any purchase or gift) a sum of money whose figure must end in five (5). Thus, one can have 5f, 15f, 25f, 35f, 45f, 55f, etc. Mathematically speaking, one could have: a sum of money x+Sf or y+5f to give to someone for a duration of 7 days or 9 days. To effectively reach the victim, the sorcerer must continue his operation for 7 days if it is a woman, or 9 days if it is a man.

He often does it spaced out so as not to leave any doubt about his modus operandi. Provided that the experience is repeated these numbers of times with the potential victim. Thus, she inexorably dies with the last operation.

It is therefore not good to accept from anyone gifts made of sums of money showing these numerical indices. Those familiar with this system know how to execute it so well that they avoid acting over a period of days that could arouse suspicion. This invites us to be vigilant and cautious in our dealings with false and deceptive money.

As for what remains to be discovered, let us examine some cases of what is called the consumption of human flesh in the odious and deadly sphere of sorcerers. (…)
