    Share Share Post
    If any person lick a lizard (eascú luachra) against the grain that is from the top of his tail to the tip of his snout three times full length and swallow the water that is licked off by the tongue each time and then kill the lizard that person will have the power of curing burns.
    NOTE. If the lizard is not killed after being licked the person will not have the cure.
