How to make the cross
Take three pieces of cedar, one longer, two shorter, to shape the arms with rosemary, rue (arruda), and celery. Place on each arm, above and below the longest part, a small mixture of cypress. Put in holy water for three days and take out of the water at midnight, saying the following words like a prayer: "Cross of São Bartolomeu, by virtue of the water in which you were immersed and the plants and woods of which you are formed, free me from the temptations of the spirit of Evil, and bring me the grace of the fortunate. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Repeat the words, whispering, four times.
Kill a black cat and place a broad bean in each eye, one below the tail and another in each ear. Then, bury it and water the grave every night at midnight until the broad beans, after sprouting, are ripe. Cut off the beans..
After cutting, take the beans home and put them into your mouth one by one. When, you think you are invisible, it is because the bean in your mouth has the magical property. So, if you want to go into any place without being seen, put the magic bean in your mouth.
Observations on using this magic!
When you are watering the broad beans many ghosts will appear to frighten you so that you won't carry out the magic until the end. The reason is simple: it is because the demon has envy of whoever is going to use this magic, without giving himself to it heart and soul, like the witches, who he calls women of virtue. We ask that you be not afraid, since he will not do you any harm, and for this it is good, before anything, to make the sign of the cross.

Cook the body of a black cat in boiling water with white seeds and wood from the willow until the meat is loosened from the bones. Strain the bones in a linen cloth and, in front of the mirror, place the bones, one by one in your mouth, until you find that you have the magic to make you become invisible. Keep the bone with the magic property and, if you want to go somewhere without being seen, place the bone in your mouth.
Another spell of the black cat for doing evil
To get vengeance on an enemy, you should proceed in this way: take a black cat and, after tying it four paws with a cord of esparto grass (used to make rugs), take it to a crossroads at night and say: "I, (say your name), on behalf of All Mighty God, order the demon to appear here under the blessed yoke of obedience and superior laws. Lucifer, Satan, I order you to go into the body of this person that I want to do evil to and do not leave until I order so, and help me with anything I ask you to during my life", (here you must say what you wish to be done to the enemy). "Oh great Lucifer, imperor of all that is hell, I seize you and tie you to the body of (say the name of the enemy), just as I have seized this cat. After you do everything that I want, I offer you this cat; I will bring it here when everything is ready."
After the demon does what has been asked, you should go to the place where he was summoned and say twice: "Lucifer, Lucifer, here you have what I promised" - with these words, release the cat.
Write on a virgin piece of paper
with your own blood: "I, with the blood from my little finger, write this
to Lucifer, so that he will do everything I want in life, and if this does not
happen, I will no longer belong to him" - then you should sign your name.
Then you should write the same text on the egg of a black hen, fertilized by the
cock of the same color. Then, open a hole in the egg and let a drop of
blood from the small finger of your right hand fall inside. Wrap the egg
in cotton and place it under a pile f manure or under the black hen. From
this egg will be born a little devil, who should be kept inside a silver box,
with silver powder. Every Saturday you should put in your baby finger from
your right hand for the little devil to drink blood. Whoever is able to
possess the demon in this way will get everything he wants in life.
About this spell, São Cipriano warns us in his book: "Every son of God who gives his soul to the demon will be at the same time cursed because he who created him and gave him the power of being was Our Lord Jesus Christ.
When a black dog has died, carefully
take out its right eye. Then, place this eye in a box and carry it in your
pocket. When you shake this little box to any dog, he will follow the
owner of the box wherever he may go, even if the owner does not want so.
The dog will go away when you make three beckoning movements with the same box..
Make two cloth dolls, connecting one to the other, tying them so that they appear to be embracing; then put in five nails in the following parts:
1st nail, in the head, going all the way through, sayig the following: So and so (the name of the person to whom you want to do evil), I (say your name), nail you and tie and stab your body, just as I stab, tie and nail your figure.
2nd nail, in the chest, all the way through, saying the following: So and so (the name of the person to whom you want to do evil) I swear to you, under the power of Lucifer and Satan, that from now on you will not have an hour of health.
3rd nail, in the stomach. So and so, I swear to you, under the power of evil magic, that from now on you will not have one moment of peace.
4th nail, in the legs. So and so, I swear to you, under the power of Maria Padilha, ( an entity popular in spiritualism--see more below) that from now on you will be under this spell..
5th nail, in the feet. So and so, I nail you and tie you from head to toe, by the power of the socerer's magic. With this the bewitched person will never have a moment of good health.
Maria Padilha
Maria Padilha - nome que significa Rainha do Fogo, é uma entidade de luz que trabalha a serviço do bem. Viveu à muito tempo atrás na França, e foi dona de uma casa de damas(Cabaré), todos os homens que ela teve, em cada uma das encarnações, num total de sete, estão com ela na espiritualidade.
Há uma profecia que conta que no ano 2000, Maria Padilha, a rainha das rainhas vai pisar nos Orixás. Os Orixás vão reverenciá-la pois a sua missão é de converter o homem que ela ama (Lúcifer, anjo das trevas) para a luz. Eles vão entrar na casa de Deus ambos de branco. Ela sentará ao lado de Jesus Cristo e ele aos pés de Cristo. Maria Padilha salvará 7000 almas e entregará as chamas do inferno a 7000 almas. padilha.htmA rough translation would be:
Maria Padilha - whose name means Queen of Fire, is an entity of light that works for good. She lived a long time ago in France, and was the madam of a house of prostitution (Cabaré), all the men she had, in each one of her incarnations, which were seven, are with her in the spirit world. There is a prophecy that says that in the year 2000 Maria Padilha, queen of the queens, will step on the Orixás. The Orixás will worship her since her mission is to convert the man that she loves (Lucifer, angel of darkness) to the world of light. They will enter the house of God dressed in white. She will sit alongside Jesus and he at the feet of Christ. Maria Padilha will save 7000 souls and will give 7000 to the flames of hell.
Unfortunately for the above, there were two famous Maria Padillas: one the heroine in an opera by Donizetti (see Maria_Padilla and crosswinds.net ) and a historical figure who was one of the leaders of the rebellion called Revolta de los Comuneros against Charles V in Spain in the 16th century. Curiously, the name ended up in Brazilian candomblé.
See a painting of Maria Padilha as received by a medium at olisasa20001/maria.htm

The four leaf clover has the same magic properties as the seed of the fern. To use it magic, proceed in the same way as was described with the seed of the fern. Change only the prayer, which is the following:
"I, creature of the Lord, redeemed with his Most Holy Blood, which Jesus Christ shed on the Cross to save us from the fury of Satan, have a very strong faith in the edifying powers of Our Lord Jesus Christ.. I order the demon to leave this place forever and I seize him and hold him fast in the raging sea, not forever, but until I pick this four leaf clover; and as soon as I have picked it I free you from your prison. All of this by the power and virtue of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen"
If the demon should appear at that moment in which he has been involked, you must send him away and only them ask for what you desire, and he will do everything so that he is not imprisoned. At the end, you must keep the clover and do everything you want, as is written in the book of São Cipriano.
Take the bone marrow of a foot of a black dog, fill up a wooden needle case with it. Then, the needle case should be wrapped up in a piece of red velvet and sewn up. Making a hole in the mattress where the couple sleeps, insert the needle case, but making sure that it does not disturb at night.
Once done, the woman should become very kind and obedient with the husband, agreeing to all his desires, and the husband will remain faithful to her.

Take the heart of a dove and the head of a toad which, after they are dried out and reduced to powder, should be used to fill a cloth bag, adding a little bit of musk to the mixture. A small hole should be made.
Place the bag under the pillow of the woman (the original says "a mulher") when she is sleeping. After fifteen minutes she will begin to speak in her sleep saying everything she has done or intends to do.
As soon as the person stops speaking, little by little take out the little bag from under the pillow, in order not to expose the person to a cerebral fever, which could cause her death.
Take the head and the feet of a toad, cut off when it is alive, on a Friday, just after the Full Moon of the month of September; these pieces of the toad must be left soaking in willow oil for 21 days, then they must be taken out at the 12th stroke of midnight, leaving them exposed for three consecutive nights to the beams of the moon. The pieces must then be ground up in a clay pot that has never been used, mixing them after with the earth from the cemetery, from the place where a member of the family of the person who is receiving the spell has been buried.
The person who receives this spell can be sure that the spirit of the dead family member will watch out for him in all the things he sets out to do and will never lose sight of his interests.
You should study, before anything, the character and the personality of the woman that you want to obtain. Then, take the heart of a little virgin dove and make a snake swallow it. This snake will surely die in a short time. Then take its head and dry it out over a low fire, on an iron grill. Then, it will be reduced to powder, and you add some drops of laudanum. When you want to use this recipe, rub a little of the powder on your hands.
The woman must get from the man she has chosen an object of silver that he has used for at least 24 hours, like a safety pin, a medal, a coin, or an earring. With the silver in one of her hands, the woman will offer him in the other hand a chalice of wine where she has added a drop the size of a grain of corn, with the following composition: an eel's head, a pinch of hemp seeds, and two drops of laudanum. As soon as the man has drunk from the chalice of wine, he will love the woman who has given it to him.
Another recipe is for the woman to give the chosen man a cup of chocolate, to which she must add two pinches of powdered cinnamon, five spikes of clove, ten grams of vanilla, and a pinch of ground nutmeg. After it is ready, take out the cloves and add two drops of Spanish fly (cantharides). To eat it is better to serve a sweet cake. The chocolate can be substituted by coffee, but in this case the coffee must be prepared with anise, adding later a drop of Spanish fly.
If the woman is afraid that the man will get away, and wants to keep him in love for a long time, she must repeat this medicine every two weeks. Iin the meantime, she should invite him to have dinner serving:
For lunch, an omelette preprared
like this:
Beat the eggs; then throw them down your naked back, letting them run down to
the bottom where the back ends.
Then fry them and serve them hot.
For dinner grind the meat for meatballs and mix in the beaten eggs. Before taking the balls to the stove pass them, one by one, on your sweaty body (corpo suado), breasts, back and stomach, letting them stay longer under your armpits.
This magic, as taught by São Cipriano, must be done by taking a bottle with a wide opening, filled with olive oil. Tie the bottle to a grape vine so that a bunch of grapes begins to grow inside the bottle. You must wait for the grapes to grow and ripen so that you can cut the bunch and free the bottle from the vine.
These are the properties of this oil and grapes that remain inside the bottle:
1. When you light a lamp with the oil you will be able to see the bushes of the place where the bunch grew, including birds, plants, and people that where nearby when the bunch was cut. As soon as the light is put out, everthing will disappear;
2. The oil has the virtue of curing any new or old wound, putting in on top together with linen string;
3. With this oil you can make souls come out of purgatory and talk to whoever you call, at the door of the church at midnight. To do this, you must light a light with the oil and say: "I, by the power of this light, order the souls in purgatory, those whose bodies have been buried in this place", to come to speak to me, Immediately, the souls will appear.
