Using Beans as a Weapon Against the Demons

A lot of really good chinese poetrya has a quality of density that cannot really be communicated in english. You could protect yourself against a witch's evil spell by spitting a bean at her. I don't think you should spit beans that people that you think might be witches. But clearly it was once done, right? Here's another. Malucca beans, especially white maluca beans, were worn around the necks of children as a ward against the evil eye and also such sort of witchcraft in gen a. And if evil magic came shooting in at the child, the bean would turn black.
