"Ritual blowing is a process whereby an Akawaio can cause an
enemy to fall sick and perhaps die, or whereby he can help a
friend or relative to recover from sickness. It can also be used for
success in hunting, to keep away rain, to prevent or induce pregnancy, to cause an easy birth, to make the garden prosperous -
in fact, it can be used to achieve almost any end, good or bad."
