TO EXTRACT A THORN.
“The briar that spreads, the thorn that grows, the sharp spike that pierced the brow of Christ, give you power to draw this thorn from the flesh, or let it perish inside; in the name of the Trinity. Amen.”
TO CAUSE HATRED BETWEEN LOVERS.
Take a handful of clay from a new-made grave, and shake it between them, saying—
“Hate ye one another! May ye be as hateful to each other as sin to Christ, as bread eaten without blessing is to God.”
FOR LOVE.
This is a charm I set for love; a woman’s charm of love and desire; a charm of God that none can break—
“You for me, and I for thee and for none else; your face to mine, and your head turned away from all others.”
This is to be repeated three times secretly, over a drink given to the one beloved.
