Artur-ji,

Spells that you mention belong to the category of Shaabara mantras, sometimes called siddha mantras or Shaabara Siddha mantras. These are not in Sanskrit. They are usually in regional Indian languages (including south Indian languages), particularly their rustic dialects.

Sharing the snapshot of a Hindi article. (Since you know Hindi, you should be able to follow). There are books and articles about these in regional Indian languages.

You called hem mysterious. They consider them to be encryption.

You may see books like http://www.exoticindiaart.com/book/details/siddha-shabar-mantra-collection-of-200-shabar-mantra-NZI825/

You say Ismail Jogi is contradictio in adiecto. To those who are aware of several different 'Hindu'-Islamic syncretisms in India it doesn't appear to be contradictio in adiecto.

Close to my native town, there is a Veerashaiva-Islamic math. Bham Bam BAba math

Sheik Abdul Baba, the founder of the math, composed songs with content both from Islam and 'Hinduism' in Kannada and Telugu.

There are Muslim Vaishnavas. Sharing a snapshot from

The Foundations of the Composite Culture in India

By Malika Mohammada

From here.

Street magic performers, spell healers and other such practicing groups are not water tight compartments. There is a big section of this type of illusion art-supernatural practitioners who are muslims. All those who studied these cultures through direct close observation know that Muslims among these use 'Hindu' deity names, 'Hindu' occult material and pooja material like Turmeric and Kumkum powders etc. Their 'clients call using them names such as Swami, Jogi etc. also alongside names such as Baba etc.

The spell you quoted belongs to this kind of cultural complex where Islamic Jogi is common place, not strange and not at all contradictio in adiecto.

.............................

I do not know the language used in the spell to the level of being able to give word for word meaning to it.

Some movement after five years of your waiting ?

Five years ago I sent to the List this question:

<< Mantras in popular Indian magic books - of indrajala type - invoke often two mysterious personages: Ismail Jogi and Nuna/Nona/Luna/Lona Chamarin.

Has anyone written a paper on them. A monograph - perhaps?>>
There was no answer. 
One such mantra runs as follows:
Oṁ namo kāmrū des kāmākhyā devī
Tahāṁ base ismāil jogī

Ismāil jogi ke tīn beṭā

Ek toṛe ek pichoṛe

Ek śīt tijārī goḍe


I am not sure about the meaning of this mantra. 

Ismail Jogi (contradictio in adiecto) had three sons:

one aborted (?), one retarded (?)

one coolly (?) in your (?) womb.


I would be grateful for your comments,
