Spells to mend broken bones

To encourage broken bones to heal quickly and to take away pain, recite this charm over them after they have been set, whilst stroking a black cat.

'Blessing on your skull,

With holy secrets it is full,

Let it smile on these bones,

Precious as earths stones

Let it bless these bones,

And hush your groans,

Let it work the spell,

To lnit these bones and make them well,

Blessings on your skull,

With holy secrets it is full.'

Gather a little hair from the cat(make sure it is loose hair, so you don't hurt her) and put it in a little white linen bag, which is to be worn around the neck until the bones are well on the mend, Bless the cat with her magical name.

Charm to cure a wart

If you should have warts, be patient and wait until a morning in May, if you would cure yourself by the agency of a cat, but it must be a Tortise shell cat, and you must be good friends with her. Stroke the wart three times with the tip of her tail, which she will allow you to nurse her as you do it, then chant,

Mary Moon, Mary Moon,

May this wart wane to your tune.

Then as the May moon wanes so should the wart.

Qualway Cat Spell

Here is a little charm to take away a stye in the eye. Capture puss and sit her on your knee, when she is comfortable gently take the tip of her tail into your left hand and stroke your eye sotly with it intoning:

'I poke thee now I don't pokr thee,

I charm the queff that's under the ee,

O qualway, O qualway!'

A gentleman must use a queen, and a tom must be for a lady, and in both instances the cat must be black.
