The Abracadabra Talisman
Spellcasting

A very ancient and well-known magickal cure for fever or illness calls for the writing of the word “ABRACADABRA” on a piece of white paper 11 times, dropping a letter in each line to form an inverted pyramid:

abracadabra

abracadabr

abracadab

abracada

abracad

abraca

abrac

abra

abr

ab

Tie the paper around the neck with flax, wear it for nine days and nights, and then throw it backwards over your left shoulder into a stream flowing eastward.
