Men also can put urine in a drink to tie a woman, although this is not mentioned so commonly. This is particularly common among girls to young or women too old to have menstrual periods, and among pregnant women and those who for any other reason don’t menstruate. In European - especially Italian - folk magic, as well as in hoodoo, urine is used in women’s coffee and tea love spells, as a quick substitute for menstrual blood, when the intention is to tie or bind a lover. In hoodoo and Sicilian folk-magic, vaginal fluids make a good substitute for menstrual blood in coffee or tea love spells. Their best alternative is to use vaginal fluids gathered after masturbation during the full moon. Women who are not menstruating due to pregnancy or breast-feeding, who have had surgery that terminated their cycles, or who are past the change obviously do not have menstrual fluid to use in sex-spells. This is nothing more or less than pheromone-magic, and as such it partakes of biology as much as it does of occultism. The idea is to get your scent into the beloved’s sphere of consciousness. No ritual, prayer, or invocation is necessary you simply add some menstrual blood to the man’s coffee or tea. In the African-American hoodoo tradition, as well as in Sicilian folk-magic, menstrual blood served to a man in his coffee or tea is a sovereign recipe for capturing his sexual attention. In folk-magic, on the other hand, menstrual blood, semen, and urine are straightforward tools of spell-casting and the knowledge of how to deploy them is routinely passed from one family member to another. They found it exhilarating in proportion to the degree to which they judged it to be daring, provocative, and naughty - and their 20th and 21st century followers have continued in the same vein, especially as the possibility of blood-born and sexually-transmitted diseases has made working with these substances seem dangerous. The frankest discussions of the uses of these substances in magic will be found in ethnological treatises on folk-magic the “ceremonial high magicians” of the late Victorian era (including Aleister Crowley and his cohorts) were too prudish to deal with this matter as anything other than an antinomian and rule-breaking rite. In light of the universality of bodily effluvia and detritus as tools of magic, the singling out of menstrual blood, urine, and semen is most rationally approached on the basis of their intended effect (generally spells of sex and love) than on the basis of their origin (human bodies). However, due to taboos surrounding menstrual blood, semen, and urine in some urban cultures, the use of these particular body fluids in spell-casting can be problematic for those unfamiliar with the larger history of folk magic. In the folk magic of virtually every culture there are spells that make use of all of our bodily effluvia and detritus, including the amniotic sac (caul) of a baby, spit, semen, tears, urine, feces, head hair, pubic hair, and nail clippings.
