  1. A Charm

    Share Share Post
    Warts may be charmed away from you and given to another person. For every wart you have, take a small stone and touch each wart with a stone in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Then tie all the stones in a bag and drop this in the middle of the road. Whoever finds the bag of stones takes upon him all your warts and they will leave you and go to him.
    (Told me by Mr. W Griffen (Aged 80) Curraghlawn.) 14.9.36
