For cutting and pasting -- Notes on Web sites for the study of Greco-Roman "magic", from Sarah Schwarz and Beth Pollard (20-21 Oct 1999) Gideon Bohak's wonderful exhibit from Michigan does have a couple of PGM things in Traditions of Magic in Late Antiquity (Recipe Books) http://www.hti.umich.edu/exhibit/magic/rb.display.html Lots of similar spells from PGM, none particularly for women but good male comparanda! A link from this site does have some women's amulets: see -- Protective Magic: Amulets and Gems http://www.hti.umich.edu/exhibit/magic/def1.display.html see esp. 6. PMich inv. 6666 = PGM CXXX protection for Helene from illness (3C CE)... cf to "feminine health spells" and "other protection spells for women" on handout. also: 20. Kelsey Museum 26067 for a uterine amulet published as #142 in Campbell Bonner's Studies in Magical Amulets which I will bring in... cf to "feminine health spells" on handout. ... also (for Sarah) #27 (and 29-32) lots of pierced female demons. Another link from this site (to aggresive magic) covers the violent binding spells... bring her to me now, quickly and pierce her while you are at it! ... etc, etc. The examples on this site have men as subject, women as object of the ritual action... good for comparison to the "relationship spells" on the handout.
