Put four worms into a hollow piece of dried stem about five inches long, take it to an ancient Pueblo ruin and stick it in the ground at the edge of the ruin. When the worms have disappeared bury the stem, cover it with a piece of old pottery and draw a line around it with an arrowhead. | Vestal, Paul A., 1952, The Ethnobotany of the Ramah Navaho, Papers of the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnology 40(4):1-94, page 54 |
