The sorcery plant hayokoari hanakɨ (Justicia sp.). This plant, called hayokoari hanakɨ, grows on rocks at the peaks of mountains. When we are poisoned by it and are under the effect of its potency, we enter a spectral state; a supernatural being manifests and we run very far to where it lives, and then it attacks the poisoned person. This is how the potency of the hayokoari hanakɨ plant acts. When one enters a spectral state at dusk, the person loses sanity, runs, and flies very high. The potency of this plant is very clever. This is how the potency of hayokoari hanakɨ acts; it exists in our crops.
