Powwows; or, The Long-Lost Friend

Hey, The Long-Lost Friend, the classic book of Pennsylvania Dutch folk magic, is online as a text. It's even weirder than I thought it wood be.

"To Attach a Dog to a Person"! I love that this spell is A) apparently so necessary he puts it up the top of the list, near "Slander", and B) is almost exactly like your garden-variety love spell for attaching humans to other humans. It's for people who want their dogs to fall in love with them. (Really, making dogs fall in love with you doesn't seems so incredibly hard in RL, even without involving Pow-wow.)
