Description

Magical text written in a striking melange of Hebrew script, Arabic script, and nonsense script. The main instructions are in Judaeo-Arabic. The practitioner is to light a wick with pure violet oil inside of a human skull. A black raven is also involved, and three pegs are to be driven into the skull-lamp. When the desired aim is achieved, the lamp should not be extinguished. ASE.
