Digitized by Google 272 THE LIVING FAIRY-FAITH sect, i water as it stands before the jMriest at the church door ; and then there follows in Latin a direct invocation to God to bless the animal, ' to extinguish in it all diabolical powers/ to defend its life, and to restore it to health.* In 1868, according to Dr. Evans, an old cow-house in North Wales was torn down, and in its walls was found a tin box containing an exorcist's formula. The box and its enclosed manuscript had been hidden there s
