THE BINDING OF THE EVIL SORCERERS

(When thou art haunted by the spells of the worshippers of the Ancient Ones, make images of them, one male and one female, and burn them in the flames of the AGA MASS SSARATU, while pronouncing the following Incantation of the Binding:)

''I invoke you, Gods of the Night''

''Together with you I call to the Night, to the Covered Woman''

I call in the Evening, at Midnight, and in the Morning

''Because they have enchanted me''

''The sorcerer and the sorceress have bound me''

''My God and my Goddess cry over me.''

''I am plagued with pain because of illness.''

''I stand upright, I cannot lie down''

''Neither during the night nor during the day.''

They have stuffed my mouth with cords!

''They have closes my mouth with grass!''

''They have made the water of my drink scarce.''

My joy is sorrow, and my merriment is grief.

''Arise! Great Gods! Hear my waiting!''

''Obtain justice! Take notice of my Ways!''

''I have an image of the sorcerer and the sorceress,''

''Of my enchanter and enchantress.''

May the Three Watches of the Night dissolve their evil sorceries!

''May their mouths be wax, their tongues honey.''

''The word of my doom which they have spoken,''

May they melt like wax!

''The spell that they worked, may it pour away like honey.''

Their knot it broken!

Their work destroyed!

''All their speech fills the deserts and the wastes''

''According to the Decree which the Gods of the Night have issued.''

It is finished.
