Note 25 — Chapter VI · THE EVIL EYE AND THE SCARING OF GHOSTS.
Reading edition
The blood of fowls and goats is used as a protection against ghosts and Devachárs, and also against witchcraft. Charmed water is waved round the person affected by an evil spirit, and thrown away. Rings, amulets, and anklets made of metals of five kinds are put on the hands and legs of children to ward off the effects of evil spirits.25
