Ancient Babylonian Incantation Bowls & Protection Magic

Sep 11
2 min read

Incantation bowls were an ancient form of protective magic, created to guard people and their homes from demons, illness, misfortune, and other harmful forces. In this video, I explore the fascinating history of Babylonian incantation bowls and show you how to create a modern incantation bowl of your own, along with simple clay angel amulets for protection.



Create Your Own Incantation Bowl


Ancient incantation bowls were inscribed with magical texts intended to protect the people who commissioned them and their homes. If you'd like to create your own modern version, you can follow the process I demonstrate in the video and choose an incantation that reflects what you want your bowl to protect.


As promised in the video, here is an example of an incantation from St. Cyprian that you can use when creating your own bowl:


"I, Cyprianus, elevated my wisdom and my thought to God, and prayed and demanded of him and said: The sky shall be opened and rain shall fall on the earth and the earth shall give its fruit again and also the trees on the fields shall give fruits again and the barren women shall give perfect children again, and they shall suck milk from their mother. Also the fishes in the sea and everything it contains shall be unbound from where it was bound. And unbound shall be the birds of the sky and all animals of earth and every man, to whom was done evil, and every evil deed itself; All this shall be unbound from every man, now may it be bound through sorcery or a holy name, and all satans shall flee before him and everything evil and impure cannot stand before me, whom I pray this."


— excerpt from Oratio Cypriana


May you be safe, may you be healthy, may you be happy, may you live with ease. ❤️
