I hereby release and untie the sexual desire of so-and-so towards
so-and-so as well as towards all other women with the help of the
powers of all of these spiritual souls the same way fire melts wax, the
same way sunlight releases darkness and the spirits of the world as
well as its own spirit and the same way snow is melted by the 0.
To silence people who talk negatively about you as well as
about others, you say:
I hereby shield so-and-so to silence backbiters with the shield of
light and veil their eyes with a spiritual veil to repel their ugly looks

spiritual souls the same way sunbeams tear up thick clouds, disgrace
him and make him a target for the spirit of backbiters the same way
arrows tear up bodies by frequent arrow hunters.
