Tell us who spoke each of these spells:

    I give you a knife from under the hills
    and a stick that I stuck through a dead man's eye
    I give you a claw I ripped from a rat
    I give you a name, and the name is lost
    I give you the blood from out of my vein,
    and a feather I pulled from an angel's wing
    I call you with names, oh my Lord, oh my Lord
    I summon with poison and summon with pain
    I open the way and I open the gates
    Come. Come. Come. Come. Come.

    Here in the darkness, we summon you, together.
