My voodoo mentor Earl Marlowe and I often had people coming to us suffering from the baleful effects of a hex. I remember one time a woman burst into North London pub where we used to drink (the place was also our informal voodoo office).
She was screaming crazily, “I been hexed, snakes and lizards runnin’ through my body, I’m gonna die, pleeeze help me! I been goofered bad.”
She then pulled her skirt up over her thighs to show us how her flesh was undulating like something alive really was inside her. “It’s goin’ on all over my body!” she shrieked. “They eatin’ my insides!”
Earl got up and looked her over.
“You need the nine needle cure,” he told her after some thought. “Get nine needles, nine brass pins, and nine hairs from your own head. Cork these up in a bottle, along with some of your urine, and place the bottle in your fireplace. After that you must earnestly ask the Lord to help you overcome the trick that’s been put on you. When the bottle bursts with the heat of the fire, all your ailments will leave you.”
As it was, the woman was in no way confident enough to perform any kind of ritual for herself. She could hardly take in the instructions Earl gave her. So Earl and I fixed up a working that very evening to exorcise her from the spirit reptiles that had invaded her body. At the culmination of the ritual, there was a loud, terrifying BANG!!! For a second, I thought the gas had exploded, or the electrics gone up…but I couldn’t find a thing to explain the noise.
Earl just said, “It’s the spirits man, it’s not nothing human, it’s the evils leavin’ her, she’ll be fine now.”
In fact, immediately after the loud bang, the woman relaxed, like a huge weight had been lifted from her. Her whole body seemed to become light again and she was smiling. “They gone,” she said, “they gone…” She slept for days after that, and was 100% cured of the ugly hex.
We concluded she’d been hexed by a renegade sorcerer from Africa who had been hired by a member of her family – someone who had been eaten up with jealousy about her for many years.

Wow Doc, that goofered condition is deathly nasty!
This reminds me of a similar goofer hex ritual tradition which I’ve heard sometime ago. This poison goofer hex is also prevalent among the rural areas of China, and South and S.E Asia which the sorcerers used snakes, centipedes, scorpions, poison plants, and a jar to make the goofer hex for and X amount of time with incantations. This is known as “ku(poison)” or “gong tau” (lit. means ‘tame head’, a type of voodoo sorcery). Afterwords, the sorcerer grinds the remains of the living hex insects into powder and it’s ready to use. The methods to deploy it are similar, however, this can also be deployed onto the victims foods and drink. When the victim ingest it, the powdered “goofer insects” slowly takes over their digestive systems, and the insects beings to form eating their physical bodies and draining the victim’s spiritual energies. Furthermore, there’s also a Hong Kong t.v. show called “Weird Talks” (you got to search it in Chinese, I believed it’s called “Kwai Tan” [怪谈]) in which a team of investigative journalists documenting the spiritual matters, voodoo sorcery, spiritual exorcisms, mediumships, possession, and the occult in South and South East Asia. Nonetheless, this is intriguingly similar Doc!
Thanks, Danny, that’s an excellent addition to the post. And there’s a lot of intriguing sorcery stuff in China that interests me.
Thanks, Danny, that’s an excellent addition to the post. Huge level of interesting sorcery stuff in China, which fascinates me.
Your welcome Doc, 🙂
I forgot to mention, in addition, when the victim goes to another sorcerer for help, curing these are quite difficult, because it takes immense concentration, incantations, and spiritual power to pull out the “spiritual roots and seeds” of the spiritual poison. After extracting the goofer hex, there’s literal worms and insects coming out of the victims body via vomiting or spontaneously appearing.
Here’s a YouTube video Doc below, the video shows a Indonesia Sorcerer helping a client getting rid of the insect goofer hex through a voodoo extraction ritual. There’s worms coming out without any bodily injuries. And please note that the speaker is speaking Cantonese, but he’s providing various commentaries on the procedures and about gong tau (a Chinese term for voodoo sorcery). This is very creepy.
Brilliant, thanks. I’d never have found that because of the language. There’s a whole lot on Youtube that is hidden to western viewers, but spinning off that one I’ll likely find a lot of interesting stuff!
