Zombie the Bosnian way
In the practice of black magic in Bosnia a dominant spot is held by props that are connected to dead people i.e. the one's used during religious washing of the dead person such as soaps or dirty water. Many witches use this dirty water to concoct spells which can be used to destroy a person or to turn that person into a zombie, in a Bosnian way. Namely, the witch (sihirbaza) secretly collects the drops of water from a dead person and uses them for various religious rituals, among them the most famous one is love obsession. When a witch wants to make one person fall in love with another, the witch will put a few drops of the dirty water gathered from a dead man into that persons drink (water or some other type of drink). According to the testimony of witches a black Jinn enters the humans body with that water which possesses the human and makes him/her obedient to the witches wishes. The spell is very powerful and can only be neutralised by the caster of the spell.
Besides stealing water from the dead body, many witches will try anything to get hold of the soap that was used for the washing. In the past such a soap was paid in gold because it was believed that it possessed tremendous magical power. The soap was especially potent in driving away unwanted marriage proposals. A mother that didn't get along with her daughters marriage partner would try and get her daughter to wash her face with such a soap which would literally cause all of the love emotions that her daughter has for the fiance to die instantly. Beside love spells the soap was also used to treat various skin diseases.
In forging spells the hair and nails of the dead person were also utilised. It is believed that a lock of hair from a dead boy or girl that is placed under the pillow of a married couple who are having marital problems will bring peace and unity in that home. The hair of a dead person was sometimes ground and placed inside the food of the person that the witch wanted to destroy.
