Magic incantation
If a man wants to make his wife hate him so that he may easily divorce her he calls m the aid of a magician, who will proceed as follows. He takes an egg which was laid on a Wednesday, and on the shell of it he writes certain magic letters, which are supposed to form the name of the King of the Tombs. He then takes the egg and buries it in a tomb, but on no account must anyone know which tomb it is. For Christians it would be the tomb of a Christian, for Muslims that of a Muslim. By the time that the magician has returned from depositing the egg in its hiding-place the charm has already begun to work. The egg must always be left where he placed it. Should anyone discover its secret hiding-place and remove it the charm loses its effect, and the woman would again love her husband.
If a man wishes to procure the death of a man whom he regards as his enemy he will go to a magician , who acts in the following way. He takes a hen and kills it, keeping the blood in some vessel. He then obtains an egg laid by a hen that has black feathers only, and on it he writes this magic square with the blood of the hen he has killed. He burns some incense, holding the egg over the fumes, with the inscribed side downward, repeating the following incantation three times : " In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate the Merciful. By the Name of Allah, the Mighty King Majesty and Possessor of Possessions, the Throne and Seat, the Heavens and Earth. Blessed be God, Lord of the World, Lord of all power and transcendent might. Light of Light and Spirit of Spirits. All Glorious, Holy Lord of Malaiks and the Spirit, praise Him, Him, the Highest Take charge, Malaik Jibrail, of the illness of so and so, the son of so and so [mentioning the mother's name]. Quickly, now! ".The egg is then hidden in a tomb.
