ounces Camphor, one ounce of wood sticks with fine
edges and ten ounce of black mulberry. After grinding
what needs to be grinded, add half a pound of bat blood
that was slaughtered with a yellow copper knife. Mix ail
these ingredients together and put it in a glass bottle. Then
walk to a water spring and put the glass bottle by the
water spring. Take one of the braziers that you prepared
earlier and put it on a rock in the middle of the watef
spring as the water flows. Then light a fire in it If the fire
lights up in the brazier, open the glass bottle and start
pouring the mixture slowlv time after time in the brazier.

he will make it come true.
