Three chunks of cheese
and a very loud sneeze.
Man in the moon

(a spell to launch Meg the witch and her cat Mog to the moon)

from "Meg on the Moon"
by Helen Nicholl and Jan Pienkowsi

Eye of toad,
Ear of bat,
Leg of frog,
Tail of cat.
Drop them in,
Stir it up,
Pour it in a silver cup.

from "Jim Jam YaHa, The Secret World of the Rottentrolls"
by Gordon Firth and Tim Firth, Madcap 1998
(The Children’s Company TV series The Rottentrolls)

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake:
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

from "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare

Here are some spells written by an English as a Foreign Language class in Winterthur, Switzerland.

Dead red and witch's fingers
take two feet of famous singers
put them into a big kettle
and cook them in hot metal.
Bugs, frogs, spiders and rats
mix with brains of bats
marinade them with an eye of frog
and the nose of a runover dog.
Put it all together in a pot
and pray three days to God.
Go on to eat this upchuck
we wish you good luck!

by Manuel Eberle and Achim Kerber

Dear bad witch in the moon
I hope we'll see each other soon
Take my soul and cook it hot
in a great black pot.
Be my master
make it faster.
Give in a snake and half a lake.
Stir it up bubble and boil
give in a heap of oil.
Take a man and eat his brain
Throw him away and do it again.
Stuff him with a big black spider
And kill a dragon rider.

by Marina Buff and Nicole Meier

Spell of Life

By Tigris, age 14, Chicago, Illinois, USA

A dash of you,
A pinch of me,
But the cauldren bubbles over.
A cup of Jane,
A bottle of John,
The little old mix explodes.
A toad's wart,
A newt's eye,
A rat's foot, or
A turantula's tounge,
they all mix with perfect ease.
They form a something,
Whatever it shall be,
But they form something.
You and me,
Jane and John,
We are all too different.
They put us in this little space,
And we attack each other.
We EXPLODE!!!
We snap,
We go insane,
I cannot deal with you any longer,
Or pot will crack again.
