Incantation Bowls, 300-700 CE, Nippur Iraq.
Incantation bowls were popular among Jewish, Christian, and Gnostic communities in Iraq and Syria in Late Antiquity. They were used as a form of protective magic to prevent demons and evil spirits from entering homes by “capturing” them. The bowls were often inscribed in Aramaic, which in antiquity was a shared common language between these communities. Some of the bowls contain images of demons, others contain religious symbols.
Incantation bowls are invaluable resources in regards to the superstitions and folk traditions of everyday people during this time. It also shows that magical practices still flourished in these communities despite the rise of Christianity and Islam in the Middle East.
Some of these bowls even references individuals by their names. The bowl at the top left belonged to a woman named Maiducht bath Kumboi who calls upon the “guardian angels of Moses” to protect her sons and house from witchcraft, plagues, and devils.
All four of these bowls are on display at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, PA.

Historical practices of witchcraft: Day 1 “The Toad Stone”
Photo © The Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow 2015 Engraved on the silver band: ” Toad Stone the Charm long used by the Mearns Witches. Bequeathed by the last of them to Jean Donald and by her to James Maxwell Graham Esqr in 1813″. (SOURCE)
The “Toad stone,” also known as the witch stone, is a an old, worn down glass marble that has a silver brand wrapped around it. The stone is worn as a protective amulet. The particular photo, above, belonged to a family of witches, in which the charm was passed down the generations and grew in strength.
The “Toad stone” is said to contain mystical power believed to be produced by a toad. It was said to be able to cure any poison.
Sweet are the uses of adversity; Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head. – Shakespeare’s As You Like It, in Act 2, Scene 1, lines 12 through 14
Typically, Toad Stones were “the fossilized teeth of Lepidotes,” (SOURCE). So it is curious that a marble would be called a Toad Stone. Though, I believe it may have been found around or within a toad and absorbed its power “jewels cut from the brain of a toad,” (Balthazar’s Daughter).
