The witch who pricks dolls with eyeless needles to inflict pain on a person whom their client hates and wishes ill fortune is called barangan. Another of its ritual is writing an intended victim’s name on a piece of paper and together with a cross, wraps it in a small piece of cloth. This is then buried a tiny hole in the cemetery, after which the barangan lies flat on his breast reciting Latin-sounding incantation and concluding the ritual by kissing the ground three times. At no other time is this done than at 12:00 high noon, 6.00 p.m. during angelus and 12:00 midnight. The identifying mark on a barangan is a circular black spot on her palate. This is believed to have be6n there since her birth.
