Star Water
One of the most intriguing ingredients appearing in the Tibetan book of spells is something called “star water” (skar chu). This is used in a ritual to bring a barren spring back to life:
To bring forth water from a dry spring, surround the spring with purified ash; take three handfuls of star water from a well, pouring one each morning through to the third. Each morning recite the mantra 108 times.
Star water can also be drunk:
For one who has fallen ill due to a curse: burn camphor or gugul; boil one bre of star water. When only a phul is left, in the presence of an image of the thousand-armed and thousand-faced one and Avalokiteśvara, say the mantra 108 times and drink it.
