Return into the house, there breathing upon the snowflakes that cover the velvet until they have melted
into drops of water; then fold up the cloth into a briangle and pin it with a golden pin, so to remain
while every day thereafter the same words shall be spoken over it anew. When its purpose is
accomplished, the binding charm should be worked.
A CHARM TO BIND THE AFFECTIONS OF ANOTHER
Pluck from the roadside or some neglected plot of gorund an old and withered stalk of burdock burrs.
Pick off three round burrs, lightly, with catious fingers, and set them down each separated fro the
other, on a table of bare wood. There light three red candles, and carry to them the charm of velvet
earlier prepared. Unpin it and unfold it; then spread it flat beside the burrs, and set the three upon the
velvet's center; one by one whle these three verses are said:
"This thine eye - I bind to me - This thy hand - I bind to me - This thy heart - I bind to me - Ever
and ever and forever."
Move the burrs to lie together, fixed and locked to another, and likewise all three to the center of the
cloth. Then fold up the cloth about them and pin it tight. This charm should then be locked away in a
drawer or cupboard, and not distrubed again for fear of loosening its bonds about the one so enchanted.
