The disease spirit is called “the intruder” and “the tormentor” andis declared to be a mere worm (tsgâ´ya), which has wrapped itselfaround the base of the tooth. This is the regular toothache theory. The doctor then calls upon the Red Spider of the Sunland to let downthe red threads from above, along the red path, and to take up theintruder, which is just what the spider eats. The same prayer isaddressed in turn to the Blue Spider in the north, the Black Spider inthe west and the White Spider a...bove (galû[n]´lati). It may be statedhere that all these spirits are supposed to dwell above, but when nopoint of the compass is assigned, galû[n]´lati is understood to meandirectly overhead, but far above everything of earth. The dweller inthis overhead galû[n]´lati may be red, white, or brown in color. Inthis formula it is white, the ordinary color assigned spirits dwellingin the south. In another toothache formula the Squirrel is imploredto take the worm and put it between the forking limbs of a tree on thenorth side of the mountain.
