Prayer of a Man who has been Bewitched (to p. 618) 



When a man thinks that he has been bewitched by another man 1 

 his enemy, | then the man who is getting sick goes into the woods | 

 where different kinds of trees grow, and when he comes | to the mid- 

 dle of a patch of different trees, he sits down on the ground and || 

 speaks; and the man says: "Oh, friends, turn your faces to me, | 5 

 look through me, Supernatural-Ones, because j I have been bewitched, 

 that I may die. I have come, Supernatural-Ones, to beg you | to 

 take pity on me and to try to save my hf e, that I may live. Listen to 

 me. I I beg your help, Supernatural-Ones, O Life-Bringers, || Super- 10 

 natural-Ones, and this is what I ask of you, Supernatural-Ones, that 

 you I may take away the power of witchcraft against me, Super- 

 natural-Ones, you to whom | nothing is impossible, Supernatural- 

 Ones. I mean that you | will let me dream a good di'eam this 

 night."' I Thus savs the man. |!
