The charms of Afghanistan have,
in most cases, been written by null
labs or faqueers, and the people
place an unquestioning belief and
unflinching trust in them. These
charms, spells and divinations seem
to show that they are to great ex-
tent the outcome of the religious ira
ditions and beliefs of the country,
and, as is only to be expected, large
number are exotic and can be traced
to Indian and Persian ideas. No
