The remedy was to take an egg, pierce it with a straw, and in it place a few of her husband's hairs; then she was to bury the egg in the ground where her husband urinated. Following these steps, Beatris claimed, Magdalena's husband would be 'tied' (ligado). Upon hearing this, Magdalena worriedly interjected that, though she wanted to punish her husband by tying him so he wouldn't be able to have intercourse with her or any other women, she didn't want this to turn into a permanent condition. Beatris told her not to worry, that she also knew how to undo the tying (see Figure 1)."
