To upset the plans of a foe, buy a thick white candle and carve it into the rough shape of a human being. Write the name of your enemy on a strip of paper using red ink, and wrap the paper around the chest of the wax image. Hold it in place by thrusting a steel pin through the chest of the figure. Think hard of your enemy as you insert the pin. Tie a length of red thread around the feet of the image, and suspend it upside down, saying: "As this image of [enemy's name] is overturned, so are the plans of [enemy's name] overthrown." Leave the image suspended. From time to time bat it with your hand to make it twist and swing, and repeat the charm. |
