A large Mandaic magic bowl from the Yale Babylonian Collection is re-edited here, since the discovery of a parallel Mandaic formula on a lead amulet in the Department of Western Asiatic Antiquities of the British Museum sheds new light on many passages. The present article offers new readings and interpretations of the inscription with its intriguing story of a demoness of infertility, one Bguzan-Lilit, who not only endangers the life of the children of the house but also wreaks havoc on the whole premises. The most unusual feature of the incantation is that the succubus-Lilit replaces the woman of the house
