In the Tianhui medical manuscript Methods of Decoctions with Blended Formulas, an incantatory expulsion recipe to treat acute heart pain has the text of an incantation, which includes the phrase “rabbit and toad eat the heart of the moon.” In the Hujia caochang weiling recipe, the shamanic performer utilizes the items rabbit and toad, waits for the harmful event of lunar eclipse, and then carries out the operation and chants the incantation to achieve the efficacious result of incantatory expulsion. In the Methods of Decoctions with Blended Formulas recipe for acute heart pain, a connection is made between lunar eclipse – eating the moon – and heart pain that exhibits a kind of sympathetic-magic thinking in shamanic arts.
