The string posted in "History", slightly diverging from
the subject, compels me to tell of an incident from my childhood (I'm now in my
dotage). I was about 10 or 11 years old and had a cluster of warts
along one hand. I counted 13 warts, there for a long time. A friend
of mine lived in a home with domestic help, and the cook told us that I should
steal one of my grandma's dishcloths and bury it under the rain gutter
drain. When it rotted my warts would go. I did, and months later the
warts were still there, vigorous and healthy. Obviously not
working. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Months later our family had a gathering, and an aunt, one
of my grandma's sisters. called me over to talk. She asked me about my
hand; I forget just what she said. Afterwards my mother and grandma asked
what Aunt Helen said to me and I couldn't think of anything unusual. They
told me that she had "pow-wowed" me. Within a few weeks my warts began to
shrink and went away, never to return. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">They told me that the ability to pow-wow was passed
to women only, never to men, from mother to daughter. All those old folks
are gone now, no one to tell me what it was all about. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Of course, I don't believe in things like that, but then .
