For aches and pains take a handful of oak leaves and a piece of red carnelian and sew them into a muslin bag. Rub it over the affected parts of your body, then go at dawn to an oak tree and place the muslin bag into a hollow on the east side of the tree, saying:
Oaken tree, oaken tree, Take these pains from me. Stop the hole with oak bark and walk away without looking back. |
