"Practiced for five thousand years throughout India, Africa, and the Middle East, the act of painting the body with preparations made from the crushed leaves of the henna plant, whether it be in preparation for a special occasion or in celebration of a particular event, has always been done with the assumption or fervent wish the the act would engender good fortune, happy results, and good feelings. There is magic in the practice, the rituals, the superstitions, the ceremony, and the culture surrounding it."
