Hittite Dung Incantation

You come to me

Because you believe I can cast off demons

To ward off the evil eye

To nullify some sick sorcery that is upon you

I mix the dung of a dog

Foul canine excrement

With barley flour

Smear it on your shoulders

Cast it from you

And feed it unto you

I have removed the demon Algalmati from you

I have pushed the demon Annamiluli from your skull

I have extinguished fire from your brow

And ignited it in the sorcerer's head

I have driven away the stench of the dog from you

But the dog's excrement

The dog's flesh

The dog's bones

You must utterly consume

Lest the dog's shade

Thinks it may yet return

And will not rest

Relentlessly tormenting you

All the rest of your days
