More notes on Le Chevillage and Stobs

I have recently learned that Le Chevillage may have a different meaning in modern French, with an aggressive sexual connotation (unfortunately).  My understanding of Le Chevillage is older, related to folk-sorcery of Shepherds in France.  The old Le Chevillage was a curse by 'pegging' (a sharpened stick from certain trees driven into the ground with intent ).  Interestingly, I don't wonder that the 18th and 19th century shepherd sorcerers were unaware of the double meaning!  I have also been informed by older mountain people that the penis was referred to as one's "Root", somewhat similar to Stob (a sharpened stick).  Some sort of interesting word play and idealism going on here...?
