Poppets have a made a magical comeback in the last few years, and there’s plenty of related information to be found in both books and on the internet today. What you won’t find, though, is information on the correct pin and needle insertion points to cause the desired effect. Of course, if the intent is to cause illness, locating the proper insertion point is just a matter of common sense. However, other key insertion points are often overlooked. And it's to that end that a brief list follows below for your convenience.
|
Mouth |
To keep someone from spreading lies, speaking ill of you or to hold gossip at bay, insert nine pins in the mouth |
|
Buttocks |
To keep someone from taking your job, place three pins in each buttock cheek |
|
Hands |
Insert pins here to keep the target from stealing from you - this could include preventing the theft of your lover - and to sentence him or her to a life of poverty. |
|
Head |
Pins inserted in this area can cause confusion, disorientation, and depression |
|
Eyes |
These are excellent insertion points when the intent involves making the target oblivious to your actions |
|
Nose |
Insert two pins in each nostril to stop nosy neighbors, or keep the target from interfering in your business |
