Overcome an Enemy
Two cuts are made on a lime, one horizontally and the other vertically, ensuring that one does not cut the lime in four pieces. In the middle of the lime one places a piece of parchment paper with the victim's name on it.
The lime is then held closed with two long, steel pins, and placed in a new plain glass, together with some salt, vinegar, and ashes. The ashes and the salt are believed to destroy the enemy's attempts to cause trouble, while the lime and vinegar will sour his own affairs.
