A Charm For Stopping Bleeding [duchas:4857967]
This charm or rather the power to prevent or stop bleeding may be passed from a man to a woman or from a woman to a man. To possess the charm or power you must first procure twelve girls. Every girl must be named Mary in Baptism and each and every one of the twelve must under twelve years of age. You must get them to say twelve Hail Marys each. The following is then to be repeated three times and the bleeding will stop: Jesus Born in Bethlehem Baptised in the River Jordan The River being deep and mud The Child being meek and good Run Mud, Stop Blood In the name of the Father and of the Son etc.
