*Kudzundheit*
(kud-zoond-hite)

A spell that keeps your home from being overtaken by vines while you are away on vacation. Can also be used on neighbors' homes.

Kudzu is a visciously prolific vine that grows on everything in the southeastern United States. Don't even stand still.

*Gitpossum Scramcoonus*
(git'-poss-um scram'-coon-us)
(accent must be on the first syllable of each word.)
(foot is also stamped on the first syllable)

A spell placed on pet's food dish at night to keep other critters away.

Opossums and raccoons are notorious for helping themselves to whatever they find.

*Itstoo Hotoucheer*
(its-too hot-ow-cheer)
(must be shouted)

A spell put on robes so they are not soaked with sweat as soon as you walk outside.

It's not the heat, it's the humidity.

*Getyergrits*
(get-yer-gree-its)

Spell put on a cauldron when unexpected guests arrive at mealtime.

A mysterious, but ever-present staple on southern tables. Warm and filling, grits are best with salt, pepper, butter and cheese. They are usually served for breakfast, but also appear in the evenings with fish.

*Dixiebellisimagnolium*
(dix-ee-bell-ee-see-mag-no-lee-um)
(must wink as wand is flicked)

A spell often used on select wizards when a Southern witch walks into a room. Similar to a Veela's Spell, side effects include heart palpitations, flushed face, and repeating *ain't she purty* until whacked by another witch. This spell can only be performed by Southern debutante witches.
