The Other Manifestations Of Magun

Magun, also called thunderbolt, is a popular charm among the Yoruba people, commonly done to curb promiscuity.

In the Yoruba culture of Western region of Nigeria, the strange yet interesting tradition of Magun which means “do not climb” is done to restrict either man or woman from sexual promiscuity.

Parents can place magun on their daughters to keep them from being promiscuous and punish anyone who rapes them, or it could be done by in-laws, lovers, spouses to keep husbands or wives from being unfaithful.

The magun is usually laid without consent and/or trickily. A broomstick or thread can be placed on a doorstep or walkway for the woman to cross over. Nevertheless, the result can be very deadly.

A woman with this spell that is unfaithful can get ridden with strange illnesses, boils, small pox or increased sweating, and could eventually die. A man with the spell who cheats could end up crowing like a rooster, enlargement of the private part, headaches, convulsions or somersaulting.

However, the most common manifestation of this charm happens when a women laid with the spell commits adultery, the penis of the lover becomes stuck in the vagina with severe pains until the husband comes to cancel the spell.

There have been cases in other countries such as Kenya and in Zimbabwe, where the phenomenon is called Runyoka.

However, some people have argued that what is touted as Magun is simply Penis Captivus, a rare occurrence in heterosexual intercourse when the muscles in the vagina clamp down on the penis much more firmly than usual, or due to an engorged penis, making it impossible for the penis to withdraw from the vagina.

Others argue that it is Vaginismus which occurs when a woman has sexual intercourse with guilt. This might cause the physiology of the woman to be altered so the vagina tightens around the penis in a series of spasms.

Whichever the case, there is still some mystery surrounding magun, because how else can you explain the role of the husband in canceling the charm?
