Incantation Bowl Corpus (Incantations, Spells and Curses)

The large body of clay bowls from Mesopotamia and the Sasanian world inscribed in a spiral with spells against demons, in Aramaic, Syriac and Mandaic, buried upside down under floors to protect a household. An entry belongs here when its article treats the bowls as a whole corpus. The group page lists related spell texts together so that a reader can compare how a tradition recorded and used its charms.
