मन्त्रपुस्तिका ( book of spells)

अनाहूतः प्रविशति अपृष्टो बहु भाषते ।
अविश्वस्ते विश्वसिति मूढ़चेता नराधमः ॥२॥
(महाभारत उद्योगपर्व विदुरप्रजागर, अ० ३२)
Anahootah pravishati aprishto bahu bhasatey ।
 avishvaste vishvasiti moodhacheta naradhamah ॥
Taken from mahabharata,this verse means A wretched fool can be recognized by the following three characteristics – going to places uninvited, talking too much when not asked, trusting the unworthy. – Vidura, Mahabharata)
Bonita( my daughter) was diagnosed with Autism when she was around 2-2.5 yrs of age and when people around came to know about it some of them just felt we needed black magic or spells to “cure” autism.
someone told us to feed her the leftovers of a talking bird or parrot, or boil some pulses in a special bowl and keep in the southwest corner of house.,or keep a key under her pillow this will unlock her brain…or go to this baba or chant that spell…..the list is long as this went on for a while.
If you know me you will also know I listened to all of them, went home laughed over it and never ever tried any of those stupid things.( also it is a good thing if you slowly distance yourself from these people if they keep pestering you with unsolicited crap)
I mean I love my kid I can and will do anything for her but there is a limit to everything and superstitions have never been and are not going to be part of my life…..
That was then but now when i remember those advices i can’t resist a chuckle.
The reason I wrote this post today is because I am planning to write book …it will be about spells and how they make your life easy breezy and smooth. Also there is no harm in giving back to the society what I got from it …but before i can start the work I thought of  sharing some of my brilliant ideas with all of you and get some expert advice on whether I am going on the right track or not…..
The three most important things to know before you start reading this post
1) never make fun of spells
2) do not share your magic candles with anyone unless you hate them
3) keep a diary of spell you have used, for second time users there is a discount of sorts
who can benefit from this book
those who hate hard work or any work for that matter.
those who want to become famous by doing nothing
those who want to become rich fast and easy
those who want to smuggle or rob and never get caught
THE SPELLS
EXAM SPELLS
who doesn’t hate exams…..I don’t know who started this evil ritual or  what was wrong with that guy and why we burden our kids with it year after year,but since nothing good in this field is going to happen in our life time, might as well study. OR
Before taking a test or exam, say the following:

Today is my test
tests are like pests
teachers are worse
studies are curse
Get me an A,
cos so I say
Earth, wind, fire, and sea
As I  Say, So Mote It Be!”

* It also helps to draw a pentagram on your test  paper and write your name and phone number
INTERVIEW SPELL

Not only you are jobless and your dog gives you THE LOOK , no one in your family has ever being filthy rich so what are your chances,..Isnt it heart breaking that none of the rich people leaving millions for charity or their kids, have ever known you, being related to you or even considered you a charity case!!!

for all you poor people ( literally and otherwise) this is the least I can do for you

Before going to the interview place three grains of salt ( and I mean 3 grains using electron microscope or whatever)in a handkerchief  and put it in your pocket. when the interview is going on, distract the  interviewer saying hey whats that and when he/ they look somewhere else throw the salt into  the north corner of the room. Within three days you will have the job.

* it also helps if before leaving the room you leave a chit for them with the following written on it and oh never forget to draw a pentagram

give me this job you fool
don’t make me lose my cool
if I don’t get this job
you are the first one I will rob
earth wind fire and sea
as I say so mote it be

SPELL TO LOSE WEIGHT

I know I know I can see that eager grin so let’s get on to it

Take a piece of parchment paper and draw a pentacle in the  center and write the following under it-

Refrigerator how dare thee

Stay Invisible To Me

While writing concentrate on yourself at the desired weight you have  in mind. Attach the paper to the fridge, until you reach your goal. oh and yes secure your fridge by drawing a circle of salt around it

 SPELL TO INCREASE YOUR BLOG TRAFFIC

This is something I have made after going through some 100,000 old magic spells
if this doesn’t work you are in wrong body,country or planet, but its not my fault at all.
First choose a background with four candles on four corners of you blog something like this
Do not use this candle cos i have cursed it and who ever uses it will never be able to rhyme again
Once you have done it choose a header with pentagram or make one, but it has to be of your hair colour, in case you do not have hair,go for hair grafting and then start blogging.
Do not forget to get a witch widget and flaunt it on the top right/left of the widget coloumn
and post this mantra in your about me section
“I the owner of this blog
all set to sacrifice 25 frogs
give me more followers oh spell
may those who follow me never go to hell
Earth, wind, fire, and sea
As I Say, So Mote It Be!”
Now here is the thing, where will you get 25 frogs from and even if you do how will you dispose them off.You can donate it to a lab, but frogs will be cursed and there are chances students dissecting them will fail.
you can always dump them in a pond or river,but since the frogs are cursed pond or river may dry.
so the best option is get 25 e-frogs and drop them in an e-well ( doesn’t that sounds great)
and in 25 minutes you blog shall receive hundreds and thousands of followers
people will praise you…
so what do you think, should I continue writing the book,do you think it will be a best seller(  i mean of course it will be, i am not going to write a book on spell and not write a spell for its success)
How many of you are going to buy this book?
Are there any special spells you would like to see in this book?
and can you also suggest a good tittle for the book?
Wish you all a great day, and if you are wondering how..take some rock salt add in dragon blood and throw it  on every one around 🙂

    Oh soma please don’t mind if my comment here ins’t in anyway related to your post… Frankly speaking, I came here looking for a smile, as I am sure to find one here. But as I kept reading on (obviously with one on my lips) I couldn’t help myself but think how “curved the curve” on one’s lips would be, if they get to spend a day with you. lol

    Seriously you have a wonderful spirit in you, o’ great certified one! 😉
    Bless you and your little gem, Bonita.

  7. After some more thought:
    (1) Being in written in Sanskrit [or Latin or Pali or Greek …] does not make something special.
    (2) Being old in itself does not make something deep, meaningful, wise or valuable.

    That said, now let’s look at the Old Sanskrit verse:

    A wretched fool can be recognize by the following three characteristics:

    (a) going to places uninvited
    (b) talking too much when not asked
    (c) trusting the unworthy

    My son and I will go on holiday in Europe this summer. We intend to:
    (a) go to lots of places uninvited
    (b) talk too much, even when not asked
    (c) trust strangers who have not proven worthy

    I guess by Sanskrit ‘wisdom’ we are wretched fools — but damn if we won’t have fun.

    😉 ~~~~~~~~ 😉

    • oh dear dear dear..is that what you got from the quote!!

      I love all languages and all of them are special..sanskrit, greek,pali they are not just languages they are part of fellow humans with whom we are sharing this planet.

      The quote is part of a conversation and i have used to describe certain people ..you would have got it had you read the first part…
      this is not about father son spending time together or talking to each other….as for being foolish i think we all are fools…or else world would be a happy ,safe and clean place

  8. Soma, my dear, you totally ROCK! Wonderful, your book of spells. I think this would sell very well, no kidding–and they could make a TV series from it, of course! And just WHEN is the local WalMart going to run a sale on dragon’s blood, what with all this new demand coming in and them able to order in larger quantities?

  12. Go ahead and write the book of spells – make it really thick and hard cover. If all else fails > we can at least throw the book at the badie…

    But seriously, I am a fan of Mahabaratha – so much wisdom contained therein…

  28. Why not? It’s better than a lot of what I see on Amazon at times.
    Also, since it rhymes, if you sell it, you can also say you sold one of your books of poetry, or, at least, an anthology of poems.
    Those are Wiccan, right? (or picking on Wiccans, yes?)

    It’s sad that people believe in superstitions even today. I’ve had my fair share of ‘baba-chanting’ too…like it would fetch me the perfect groom , and that sort of thing. 😀 It’s another thing that I never tried any, but I wonder what thought process provides the impetus for such things to grow!
    I really enjoyed the post…and would love all spell-chanters to read it too!!!
    And, as far as your book goes…so is there a chant for the perfect guy..;) 😀 LOL LOL

    • 😆 lopa you have come to right place here is the spell for the perfect guy
      write PERFECT GUY on a big piece of paper and draw pentacles on top of the paper
      then chant the following spell for three nights
      perfect guy,perfect guy come to me fast
      may you fall in love with me with the spell i cast
      may you see me every where you look
      in the mirror,food,clothes and book
      wind,soil,fire and sea
      as i say so mote it be
      and voila after 3 days perfect guy will knock on your door

      * it helps if you throw ink on all guys in the morning
