Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 23:15:39 -0500 > Well, in the first place, not all recipes for Goofer Dust contain > graveyard dirt as an ingredient. Some are snake-skin or insect-powder or > snail-shell-powder based, or employ powdered spiders, lizard heads, or > the like. Goofer dust appears to me to be what is generically called, in the Congo and Angola "Mpolo". Mpolo is any magical powder. It can contain and usually does contain dirt from a grave. It can however include or totally consist of powders from plants, burnt or otherwise pulverized animal skins, bones, parts or other types of dirt. The purposes of such mpolo are quite diverse. In fact,the same ingrediants can be used for very different results based upon intent and ritual.
