ANCIENT HINDU SPELL FOR INVISIBILITY

Lots of requests for [invisibility spells], so here's one
I've just come across. It's from the Srividyaarnavatantra,
a Tantric manuscript dealing mainly with Tripuraasundari
(and with Kali and some other goddesses to a lesser degree).

       ----------------------

A process has been prescribed for making oneself invisible
to others. With five wicks, one each made of the fibers of
     arka (Calatropis gigantea), 
     shaalmali (Salmalia malabarica),
     kaarpaasa (Gossypium heraceum) [i.e. cotton], 
     patta (cloth), 
     pankaja (lotus) 
[dipped in] narataila (human oil i.e., oil extracted from a
corpse) one should kindle five lights. 

These should be placed, one by one, on five human skulls.
Then the combined black ashes, obtained from the above
lights, should be applied to the eyes while one is in a
temple of Shiva.

The ashes are first consecrated with the following mantra,
recited 1008 times:

Om hum phat kaali kaali mahaakaali maamsa-shonitam khaadaya
khaadaya devi maa pasyatu manuseti hum phat svaahaa.
