Hi ghoulish- I assume you've already got Jason Read's book about Daoist fox magic. Part of it translates bits of
(you can also get nice physical copies on Taobao). I had actually started translating it for myself before his book came out, there were some bits he omitted (they're not really relevant to his purpose so I don't fault him for that). Anyway I'll put them here, maybe they'll be of interest. My Chinese skills are still pretty amateurish so, while I'm confident I got the overall gist right, there are probably mistakes here and there.
雪狐仙咒
雲霧山頭雪狐仙。日采蘭花夜贈醫。
石斛法水灑清靜。驅邪出外百病除。
靈符佩身邪鬼避。咒語一出鬼神驚。
保得家宅平安處。鎮起坊村永太平。
Snowy Fox Fairy Spell
The snowy fox on the cloudy peak
gathers orchids by day to gift to healers at night.
Orchid-steeped water sprinkles stillness,
driving out devils and wiping out every illness.
Evil spirits flee the carried talisman,
demons cower from one utterance of the spell,
Guarded homes, quiet places,
Defended villages, perpetual peace.
如意狐仙咒
奉請狐仙大威神。凛凛威風定乾坤。
頭戴道巾光燦爛。身穿紅袍大法衣。
如意手中多變化。心想事成道理真。
寶劍紅光萬年顯。收妖斬鬼鎮家堂。
Scepter (Rúyì) Fox Fairy Spell
Reverently evoking the fox fairy's majestic spirit,

On her head is the brightly gleaming scarf of Dao;
She wears a great red ritual robe.

wishes fulfilled, the pattern of Dao perfected.
The red light of her double-edged sword flashes through myriad years,
Restraining goblins, beheading devils, guarding the family hall.
靈狐夢境咒

The Fox Fairy's Precious Exhortations
In Kunlun the Queen Mother of the West is flanked and guarded by nine-tail foxes,
who descend to the mortal world, observing good and evil,
beheading evil, quelling demons, and saving the good folk,
receiving the ruler's incense for the ruler's troubles,
relieving the widow, pitying the orphan, and giving to the poor.
The Fox Fairy's own magic manifests
with limitless power to rescue all from the dust.
In worldly affairs and friendships place righteousness first;
a courageous spirit surmounts the clouds of heaven.
Order the home and serve the nation in integrity.
Be faithful and self-reliant before the Fox fairies.
Distinguish good and evil mutually arising in the mind.
Be kind to the servant and the hireling.
Those who are unjust, yet wealthy and noble-
my heart regards them all as fleeting vapors.
There’s a road to the gate of Dao; the cause of immortality is near.
Heavenly and human realms are both attainable.
Respect and salute the great Daoist Fox Fairies;
Ever be a single-minded disciple.
狐仙啟化真經
昆侖山上仙神會。仙神雅集吐真言。
金光萬丈祥雲現。白玉池中種異蓮。
雲台金仙披白髮。手持令牌誅邪劍。
髮插金簪冠戴穩。腳踏彩霞飄飄然。
禮拜躬身如滿月。越班而出詣在前。
眾位注目相觀看。方曉狐神金闕仙。
狐仙本來上古神。降下凡塵護天師。
月夜乘雲到天邊。察看世間人善惡。
一靈原本怕康泰。自在如如快樂天。
發覺有知為欲閉。五陰六賊遂牽纏。
各自認真為幻境。遂將幻境誤心田。
為臣不報君和國。為子不孝孫不賢。
若不尊師和重道。萬惡牽纏禍不輕。
因貪遂至欺爭殺。墜入三途不見天。
由是輪迴無止境。凄其苦惱認為甜。
遡自生平作孽多。冤冤相報苦厮磨。
現今恃勢凌貧弱。轉眼回身墮孽河。
不知何日催人老。貪得何須太過多。
黃泉路上無分富。善惡隨身復本初。
一杯黃土孤墳寂。方悔從前太認真。
才子佳人終易老。黃梁一夢証前因。
從前萬劫都不管。仔細思量歸宿真。
本是眾生同一體。皆當發覺悟虛空。
白髮輕搖宣妙諦。靈狐九尾度群蒼。
諸天眷屬與神王。八洞金仙列玉堂。
擎拳拱手齊聽偈。歡喜無邊信受藏。
狐仙娘娘解言章。勸化群生莫殺傷。
天地一靈同運化。悠悠宇宙道綿長。
世人不悟本來無。日夜紛紜苦自勞。
究竟到頭何所有。色空參破作良圖。
皈依大道道玄風。盡點慈悲勇立功。
法門有路仙緣近。天上人間兩可通。
若有眾生能感悟。逍遙快樂自和融。
莫謂微塵輕罪惡。一念歸還地獄中。
最大總持無二法。逍遙解脫網羅身。
黃梁一夢千秋覺。透識生平幻與真。
玄關指點成仙道。道味清虛實有根。
神通廣大無窮盡。從心變換五行身。
能悟本來成就易。飛身一直上仙都。
但願眾生同覺悟。永作狐仙不二徒。
The Fox Immortal’s True Scripture of Enlightenment
Immortals and gods met atop Kunlun mountain;
the assembly of immortals and gods emitted the dharani:
“The golden gleaming 10,000 fathom wonder-cloud appears;
In the midst of White Jade Pond a curious lotus grows.”
The gold immortal of Yuntai, draped in white hair,
holding a command-tablet demon-slaying sword,
her hair held with a golden pin atop a cap,
feet treading merrily on a gloaming cloud,
prostrated like the full moon
to the realized and excellent ranks before her.
The multitude stared at one another and looked on
and then the fox spirit explained to the immortals in the palace:
“In ancient times, at first, the fox immortals were divine;
they descended to the mortal world to protect the Heavenly Masters.
On a moonlit night they rode upon a cloud to the horizon,
observing the good and evil of the world’s people.
One spirit from the beginning abhorred peace,
freedom, thusness, joy, and heaven.
and grew in knowledge of obstructing passions.
The five yin and six thieves were entangled,
each striving toward delusions,
satisfying willful fantasies and neglecting the heart.
For ministers did not serve lord and country,
for children were unfilial and grandchildren unvirtuous,
so as to not honor teachers or value the Dao.
The ten thousand evil entangling calamities lay heavy.
Because avarice extended to fraud, strife, and murder,
they fell into the three paths that don’t reach heaven,
therefore endlessly reincarnating,
so dismal as to consider bitterness sweet.
Having sinned one’s entire life,
enormities avenge one another, sufferings sharpen each other,
now leaning on power to abuse the helpless,
in a blink returning oneself to fall into evil streams,
unaware how each day hastens a person’s age,
coveting and grasping for needless excess.
The road of the Yellow Springs has no speck of wealth;
good and evil follow one, returning to their origin.
A cup of yellow earth, a lonely, silent tomb,
only now regretting what before was avidly pursued!
The gifted scholar and the beauty eventually turn old.
The Dream of Yellow Millet confirms the above.
Having disregarded ten thousand calamities before,
carefully contemplate one’s true destiny-
at root all beings are one substance,
all should see and realize emptiness.”
The white-haired one gently trembled in declaring the wonderful truth.
All the heavenly family and divine kings,
the gold immortals of the eight grottoes, lining the Jade Hall,
together raised the fist-in-palm salute on hearing the verses,
delighting boundlessly to faithfully receive the scripture.
Lady Fox Immortal explained the words of her chapter,
exhorting the myriad beings to neither kill nor harm.
“Heaven and earth are one soul, sharing the same movements and changes.
The path of the age-enduring cosmos is continuous-
Worldly people do not grasp its origin in nothingness,
day and night toiling in confusion and bitterness,
finally reaching the common end.
Form and emptiness join to ruin well-laid plans.
Convert to the path of the Great Dao, the mysterious wind,
striving to the utmost in deeds of mercy and courage.
There’s a path to the Dharma Gate; the cause of immortality is near;
Heavenly and human realms are both attainable.
If all sentient beings can realize this,
liberation, joy, self-harmony shall blend.
Consider no speck of dust a trifling evil-
a single thought returns one to the midst of Hell.
The greatest always grasp the law of non-duality,
unbound and unfettered from the nets of life.
One Dream of Yellow Millet is a thousand years of sleep.
Pierce through lifelong fantasy and enter Truth.
The dark gate shows the road to immortality;
the Taste of Dao clarifying true and false has a root.
Magic power is inexhaustible.
From the heart transform the five phases.
It's easy to understand original realization,
flying straight up to the city of immortals.”
May all beings alike come to enlightenment!
Forever be a single-minded disciple of the Fox Immortal.
狐仙內丹心經
人身三寶。曰精炁神。依形而住。煉魄養魂。
身雖為累。大道之根。出玄入牝。真鹓調勻。
丹田夜暖。氣海常溫。降龍伏虎。戒痴斷嗔。
填離保坎。大候常新。冥心絕欲。掃淨浮雲。
金丹玉煉。反求諸身。黃芽白雪。境養殷勤。
駐顏延壽。得以長春。精神內守。微妙天真。
功完行滿。乃作仙神。同離苦海。共出迷津。
The Fox Fairy’s Inner Elixir Scripture
The three treasures of the human body
are called jing, qi, and shen;
accord with true form and abide there.
Refine the po and nurture the hun.
Though the body be weary, it is the root of the great Dao.
Leave darkness and enter the valley.
Keep the dantian warm at night, the sea of qi tepid.
Falling dragon, crouching tiger.
Renounce folly and cut off anger.
Fill the fire trigram, guard the water trigram.
The great time is ever new.
The deep heart quenches desire.
Sweep clean the fleeting clouds.
Golden elixir refines the jade.
Strive with the self. Yellow sprout, white cloud.
Eagerly nurture the realm.
Retain youth, delay age, so as to lengthen springtime.
Guard jing and shen within, with subtle innocence.
All this fulfilled, so become an immortal spirit,
departing from the sea of anguish,
utterly transcending the maze.
狐仙放生咒
人世知音能有幾。天地萬物是良朋。
今日歌頌仙狐訣。施放眾生盡解脫。
逢山過山到深山。逢水過水進池潭。
雲霧山頭乘風去。東西南北逍遙游。
深山百鳥千聲叫。河海深處好修煉。
山神土地來相助。路上逢人半里難。
Fox Fairy Life-Release Spell (this is mimicking a Buddhist practice of releasing captive animals into the wild)
Some friends may be found in the human realm;
Heaven, earth, and the myriad beings are good friends.
Today in praise of the fairy fox, we bid you farewell,
releasing all beings, utterly free,
reaching the mountains and crossing into their depths
meeting the waters, swimming and diving deep!
Ride the wind over misty peaks;,
roaming carefree, east, west, north, and south:
In the mountains let a hundred birds make their thousand calls;
May you cultivate well in the depths of rivers and seas.
May mountain and earth gods come to your aid
That on the road you hardly meet with humankind.
