68 Spell:—"Om! I salute Bhagavatí, goddess of midnight, who delightest in human flesh and blood: who bearest the form of darkness, seize on so and so as thy victim. Drink his blood, eat eat his flesh, then let him die. Húm, Phaṭ Sváhá."

Let this spell be used in a cemetery and on that night the goddess Káli shall visibly appear to thee. Then satiate her with sacrifices of flesh as far as lies in thy power in the place where the corpse was burnt and that night shall thy foe sink into hell.

This is the Káli spell: let it be used one hundred times, beginning from the 12th until the 14th day of the lunar fortnight, and Káli shall appear before thee. Then appease her with sacrifice, and she shall grant all thy prayer. Then you must require of her to appear whenever you desire her aid.

Let him then perform the rite with ashes and the lamp as already directed, and whenever he wishes it she shall appear to him and do all he wishes.

Otherwise: recite the spell inserting therein the name of thy foe.

Form a paste of human bones and recite over it one hundred times the proper spell; then let this be sprinkled on what the foe eats or drinks and he shall die in a week.

Further: the Malayáḷa mantra is as follows. It is most potent. It is as follows.

"Om! hram hram, glaum glaum, Swinefaced goddess: seize on such an one, seize him, seize him as a victim! drink, drink his blood, eat, eat his flesh. O image of imminent death, Bhagavatí of Malayáḷa, hum, glaum, phaṭ, Om!"

Use this spell a thousand times and it shall be effective. Then specify the name of your enemy, strip yourself naked
