Papyri are a series of ancient spell books from Egypt from between the 2nd century BC and the 5th century AD. They are a sort of do-it-yourself guide to magical rituals that offers solutions to problems like finding a thief, keeping calm, curing fevers and demonic possession.

This visceral recipe is a variant of a spell that also added semen, and the hair of a dead man to the mixture.
