heart As the traditional seat of the soul, the heart has particular significance in the superstitions and traditions of witchcraft. Removing the heart of a live pigeon and sticking it with pins will oblige a reluctant lover to fall passionately in love. If the lover still proves unwilling, sticking a hare's heart with pins and burying it near a newly dug grave will cause the unconsenting party to experience a sudden decline in health, culminating in death.
