How to soothe anger that is as fierce as a wild bull, a leaping dog, a lion, and a wolf?

In ancient Babylonia, you recited an incantation that empowered you to get rid of it. A bit like today’s practice of affirmations or manifesting.

“I have blocked it!
“Like a bridge, may I cross over it!”

A phrase for when someone's interfering that I learnt from Chilean Spanish (but is also used elsewhere) is quien te dio vela en este entierro? It means “who gave you a candle for this vigil?”

A similar one, from Venezuela, is no tienes muerto en este entierro, or “you have no dead in this funeral.”
