520 | |a This article offers a commented edition of two hitherto unknown anti-witchcraft incantations preserved on first-millennium cuneiform tablets from Babylon. BM 36584 is a typical anti-witchcraft ritual to be performed in the morning before the Sun-god; it is characterised by the use of purifying plants and figurine magic, both features that have close parallels in other anti-witchcraft rituals including Maqlû. The text preserved on BM 35672 belongs to a group of incantations against witchcraft that were recited over plants, stones or other apotropaic substances. The incantation on the present tablet was to be recited over anḫullû, a plant that was known to be especially effective against witchcraft. | ||
