 hold up the smoking fire-pot to the Mai Bulat Tatuwa. Next, 

 pronounce the above charm 108 times. Do this at three several 

 Yamas. Lastly, take away the stone, and bury it in the ground 

 under the stile of the garden fence, or at the back of the house. 

 Then throw a stone at the house; and from that day, that house 

 will be pelted with stones. To put a stop to the pelting remove 

 the buried stone, and throw it into a stream or some other place of 

 water, and the stone-pelting will cease from that day." 



Charms may be divided into two great classes, viz., 1st — Those 

 intended to inflict death, disease, or some other inconvenience 

 upon men; 2nd — Those intended to counteract the first, and 

 remove their evil consequences. Under the head of the first class 

 come several departments of charms, chiefly Hoonxyan, Angam, 

 and Pilli charms ; under the second, Bandana, Dehena and a 

 few others. These will be treated of in the succeeding chapter.
