Some folklorists call this pattern a quincunx and others a cosmogram -- hoodoo root workers themselves generally give no special name for it, but some call it a "five spot," because it looks like the five-spot on playing cards or dice. More often, they simply describe it functionally or sketch it out when giving instructions to a client. It looks like this:<br><br> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/66/Quincunx.svg/100px-Quincunx.svg.png"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><br>The quincunx or five-spot is not generally used for disposing of the left-overs from spell-work; rather it is for sealing and fixing spells in place. Deposits are made at the four corners and also in the center, where the five 0s appear in the diagram. The nature of these deposits varies based on the elements used in the spell and the type of floor in the building. Wooden floor boards or bricks may be lifted and bulky elements such as bundles or bottles laid beneath them. If the floor cannot be disturbed, items may be hidden at floor-level behind furniture. Alternatively, small piles of graveyard dirt, perfumed sachet powders, or powdered minerals such as bluestone, common table salt, or saltpeter may be laid down in inconspicuous piles directly on the floor or carpet. The quincunx is also used when drawing so-called crossing marks with chalk, either to harm an enemy or as part of a protection spell. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=dudehhomesliceix@rigorousintuition>dude h homeslice ix</A> at: 10/20/06 10:29 am<br></i>
