Original text by Cecil Williamson: 'To have a part of a person, such as a nail clip, or a bit of hair, spittle, urine etc. all give one spiritual contact with the actual person. The same holds good of garments worn next to the skin. This is a lady's chemise bound in the middle with tarred string and with the edges burnt, singed and scorched, yet one more example of jealousy, an ever-present source of income for all Celtic witches.'
