Funny you mention that. A couple of my npawgs are really into learning and hais txiv xaiv. One day I got a call from one of them asking if I can send them a good size sumac branch. I asked what they needed for, and he told me to make swords. First I was thinking to myself why they needed sumac to make swords, then I recall the old people saying poj ntxoog ntshai ntaj huab txhib.
My brother came to visit, and I sent along with him two good size sumac branch.
On our (g-pa & I) return flight fm back east, my g-pa made a bundle of cov ntaj huab txhib. I thought I gave him all of them when we arrived, but as I unpacked, there were two at the bottom of the cooler. I kept it in my car for a wk, but I didn't have the chance to drop it off, so I tossed it. I knew it was to prevent spirits fm entering their home, but I wasn't aware of the puj ntxoog. It gives me an eerie feeling dropping by their apt complex (Summerset in Fresno) after dark.
OMG......the night before our departure, my mom told me to go get the frozen goods fm the red house (my parents built a storage house and placed at least 4/500ft fm the house) so I can pack. Being ascary cat that I am, I asked my sil to go w/me. Ugggghhh....sh
e didn't keep it to herself and stated, "Oh, I can't blame you for the uneasy feeling, because your brother have seen a little girl standing in front of the red house several times as he fix his cars into the late night". Oouuuuu....giv
e me the chills thinking about it (0340). Man, I went to bed around 0200 and boy-o-boy....i couldn't fall asleep and my imagination went wild, because the guest bedroom is facing the red shouse and my sil decorated the window w/ a pink sheer and see-through girly curtain. I got so scared, tossing and turning. Thank God g-pa was sleeping in the living room (more like 2hr naps), so i grabbed the blanket and pillow, went to sleep on one of the couch.
I haven't seen (thank God i'm not privileged enough to see/hear or experience anything in our village),because my parents have and iD heard stories fm my siblings after I got married.
Anyways, I have never been sat on by FAT until we were resting at my mil's house. Fat is scared when you called God/Vaajstwv or Hallelujyaj. For those couple of times, kuv has Halleluyaj, more like scream, then i'm set free. Damn, at my mil's house, if you think about it or sense it's presence, damn.......koj maag nug sit on you.
Anyways, I ntshai ntshai lawm, I no type lawm os......
