Burnt offering: Pachrates the prophet of Heliopolis, revealed it to the Emperor Hadrian revealing the power of his own divine magic. For it attracted in one hour, it made someone sick in two hours; it destroyed in seven hours, sent the emperor himself dreams as he thoroughly tested the whole truth of the magic within his power. And marveling at the prophet, he ordered double fees to be given to him.

Take a field mouse and deify [drown] it in spring water. And take two moon beetles and deify them in river water, and take a river crab and fat of a dappled goat that is virgin and dung of a dog-faced baboon [simias cynocephalus], two eggs of an ibis, two drams of storax, two drams of myrrh, two drams of crocus, four drams of Italian galingale, four drams of uncut frankincense, a single onion. Put all of these things onto a mortar with the mouse and the remaining items, and after pounding thoroughly, place in a lead box and keep for use. And whenever you want to perform a rite, take a little, make a charcoal fire, go up on a lofty roof, and make the offering as you say this spell at moonrise, and at once she comes.

Spell: "Let all the darkness of clouds be dispersed for me, and let the goddess AKTIOPHIS shine for me, and let her hear my holy voice. For I come announcing the slander of NN [insert name], a defiled and unholy woman, for she has slanderously brought your holy mysteries to the knowledge of men. She, NN, is the one, not I, who says 'I have seen the greatest goddess, after leaving the heavenly vault, on earth without sandals, sword in hand, and speaking a foul name.' It is she, NN, who said 'I saw the goddess drinking blood.' She, NN, said it, not I, AKTIOPHIS ERESCHIGAL NEBOUTOSOUALETH PHORPHORBA SATRAPAMMON CHOIRIXIE, flesh-eater. Go to her NN and take away her sleep and put a burning heat in her soul, punishment and frenzied passion in her thoughts, and banish her from every place and from every house, and attract her here to me, NN."

After saying these things, sacrifice. Then raise loud groans and go backward as you descend. And she will come at once. But pay attention to the one being attracted so that you may open the door for her; otherwise the spell will fail [or "she will die"].

For causing illness: Use these spells, adding, "Make her, NN, whom NN bore, ill."

And for destroying: Say, "Draw out her breath Mistress, from the nostrils of her, NN."

For sending dreams: Say, "Become like the god whom she worships."

For dream revelations: Say, "Stand beside me, Mistress, and reveal to me about the NN matter." And she will stand beside you and tell everything without deception.

Do not therefore perform the rite rashly, and do not perform it unless some dire necessity arises for you. It also possesses a protective charm against your failing, for the goddess is accustomed to make airborne those who perform this rite unprotected by a charm and to hurl them from aloft down to the ground. So consequently I have also thought it necessary to take the precaution of a protective charm so that you may perform the rite without hesitation. Keep it secret.

Take a hieratic papyrus roll and wear it around your right arm with which you make the offering. And these are the things written on it: "MOULATHI CHERNOUTH AMARO MOULIANDRON, guard me from every evil daimon, whether an evil male or female." Keep it secret, son.

The second spell, after you make the first sacrifice, but it is better for you to say it before you make the offering.

This is the spell attached to the first:
"I offer you this spice, O child of Zeus,
Dart-shooter, Artemis, Persephone,
Shooter of deer, night-shining, triple-sounding,
Triple-voiced, triple-headed Selene,
Triple-pointed, triple-faced, triple-necked,
And goddess of the triple ways, who hold
Untiring flaming fire in triple baskets,
And you who oft frequent the triple way
And rule the triple decades with three forms
And flames and dogs. From toneless throats you send
A dread, sharp cry when you, O goddess, have
Raised up an awful sound with triple mouths.
Hearing your cry, all worldly things are shaken:
The nether gates and Lethe's holy water
And primal Chaos and the shining chasm
Of Tartaros. At it every immortal
And ev'ry mortal man, the starry mountains,
Valleys and ev'ry tree and roaring rivers,
And e'en the restless sea, the lonely echo,
And daimons through the world, shudder at you,
O blessed one, when they hear your dread voice.
Come here to me, goddess of night, beast-slayer,
Come and be at my love spell of attraction
Quiet and fruitful, and having your meal
Amid the graves. And heed my prayers, Selene,
Who suffer much, who rise and set at night,
O triple-headed, triple-named MENE
MARZOUNE, fearful, gracious-minded, and Persuasion.
Come to me, horned-face, light-bringer,
Bull-shaped, horse-faced goddess, who howl doglike;
Come here, she-wolf, and come here now,
Mistress Of night and chthonic realms,
Holy, black-clad,
'Round whom the star-traversing nature of
The world revolves whene'er you wax too great.
You have established every worldly thing,
For you engendered everything on earth
And from the sea and ev'ry race in turn
Of winged birds who seek their nests again.
Mother of all, who bore Love, Aphrodite,
Lamp-bearer, shining and aglow, Selene,
Star-coursing, heavenly, torch-bearer, fire-breather,
Woman four-faced, four-named, four-roads' mistress.
Hail, goddess, and attend your epithets,
O heavenly one, harbor goddess, who roam
The mountains and are goddess of the crossroads;
O nether one, goddess of depths, eternal,
Goddess of dark, come to my sacrifices.
Fulfill for me this task, and as I pray
Give heed to me, Lady, I ask of you."

Use this for the spells of coercion, for it can accomplish anything, but do not use it frequently to Selene unless the procedure which you are performing is worthy of its power. For the hostile offerings, when some slander is involved, use the following stele, speaking thus:

This is the third coercive spell:
"She, NN, is burning for you,
Goddess, some dreadful incense
And dappled goat's fat, blood and filth,
The menstrual flow of virgin
Dead, heart of one untimely dead,
The magical material
Of dead dog, woman's embryo,
Fine-ground wheat husks, sour refuse,
Salt, fat of dead doe, and mastic,
And myrtle, dark bay, barley,
And crab claws, sage, rose, fruit pits and
A single onion, garlic,
Fig meal, a dog-faced baboon's dung,
And egg of a young ibis.
And this is sacrilege! She placed
Them on your altar; she set
The flaming fire to juniper
Wood strips and slays a seahawk
For you, a vulture and a mouse,
Your greatest myst'ry, goddess.
She said, too, that these deeds of pain
You had performed so harshly:
For she said that you slew a man
And drank the blood of this man
And ate his flesh, and she says that
Your headband is his entrails
That you took all his skin and put
It into your vagina,
That you drank sea falcon's blood and
That you food was dung beetle.
But Pan before your very eyes
Shot forth his seed unlawful.
A dog-faced baboon now is born
Whene'er there's menstrual cleansing
But you AKTIOPHIS, Mistress,
Selene, Only Ruler,
Swift Fortune of daimons and gods:
NEBOUTOSOALETH IOI LOIMOU LALON,
In Syriac: ETARONKON BYTHOU PNOUSAN
KATHINBERAO ESTOCHETH ORENTHA
AMELCHERIBIOUTH SPHNOUTHI,
Brand her NN, the lawless one,
With bitter retributions,
Whom I again will duly charge
To you in hostile manner.
I call you, triple-faced goddess
Mene, O light-beloved
Hermes and Hekate at once,
Male-female child together;

MOUPHOR PHORBA, Queen Brimo, dreaded and lawful, and Dardania, All-seeing One, come here, IOIE, Virgin, Goddess of crossroads and bull snake are you, Nymph and mare bitch and head-nodder and Minoan and powerful, EALANINDO, come here, ATEES ENIDELIDIMA, Mistress Phaiara, MEDIXA EMITHENIO, come to me, INDEOME, come here, MEGAPHTHE; she will come here. Attract her NN to me very quickly, I myself will clearly convict her of everything, goddess, which she had done while sacrificing to you."
