 One Human Skull

 Assorted Bones from a Water Rat

 A Pure White Cat

 An Iguana Tail

 The Teeth of a Man 19 years dead

 A good dose of pure Vegetable Oil

 A dash or two of Datura

 Two Blue Agama Lizards of the male sex

 One Big Toad called Crapaud Bonga (Bufo Marinus) that must weigh one pound

 One Sea Snake’s brain and sex organ

 Several Pods of Itching Pea, “Pois Gratter”

 Two (Preferably Female) Puffer Fish

 Add Tarantulas, Millipedes and White Tree Frogs to taste

The potion should be prepared in June, when the female Puffer fish contains its greatest quantities of Tetrodotoxin. Be careful not to touch the mixture at any time as it can act through skin.

Tie the snake to the Toad’s leg. Put them in a jar and bury it.

This is so that the Toad “dies of rage,” which increases the concentration of its poison. Place its skull in a fire with Thunderstone and some blessed oil and burn till black.

Roast the animal ingredients and grind with the uncooked plants in a pestle and mortar. Add unheated shaving of the bones.

A few sacred spells (Juju), now grind your mixture to fine powder, place in a jar and bury in the coffin with the rest of your source skeleton if possible for three days.

You now have coup poudre or zombie potion. It is traditionally sprinkled in a cross on the threshold of the target. It can only be introduced by touching the skin. If taken internally, death will be final.

Upon the zombie’s awakening from the grips of death, one must bite the tip of the tongue—or as some Voodoo-hoodoo practitioners prefer—the entire tongue. The tongue should be kept always in the company of the person who owns the zombie, because the zombie will obey only the one who has it.

If the tongue is swallowed, the zombie is bound only to the “boukur” (bokar), or Voodoosant who created it. The zombie will obey someone else’s commands if their master tells them to do so.
