2 Luck Spells from Gypsy Witchcraft

Gather from the corners of your house every cobweb, and place them on a black cloth. Procure then a fly, recently dead, and set it down on the mass of webs. These words should be written down on paper:

"North south east west. Spider's web shall bind him best East west north south. Hold his limbs and stop his mouth. Seal his eyes and choke his breath: Wrap him round with ropes of death".

Fold the paper four times, and wrap it up, along with the fly and the webs, in the black cloth, forming a small bag. This should be bound up with the end of a long cord, and suspended from a hook in a dark corner. Do not disturb it! Let it hang until it is thickly covered in dust. Then it may be taken down and buried in the Earth.
