A PRECAUTION AGAINST INJURIES.
Whoever carries the right eye of a wolf fastened inside of his right sleeve,
remains free from all injuries.
TO MAKE A WAND FOR SEARCHING
FOR IRON, ORE OR WATER.On the first night of Christmas, between 11 and 12 o’clock, break
off from any tree a young twig of one year’s growth, in the three highest
names (Father, Son and Holy Ghost), at the same time facing toward
sunrise. Whenever you apply this wand in searching for anything, apply it
three times. The twig must be forked, and each end of the fork must be held
in one hand, so that the third and thickest part of it stands up, but do not
hold it too tight. Strike the ground with the thickest end, and that which you
desire will appear immediately, if there is any in the ground where you
strike. The words to be spoken when the wand is thus applied are as
follows:
Archangel Gabriel, I conjure thee in the name of God, the Almighty, to tell
me, is there any water here or not? do tell me! + + +If you are searching for Iron or Ore, you have to say the same, only
mention the name of what you are searching for.
HOW TO OBTAIN THINGS
WHICH ARE DESIRED.If you call upon another to ask for a favor, take care to carry a little of the
five-finger grass with you, and you shall certainly obtain that you desired.
A SURE WAY OF CATCHING FISH.
Take rose seed and mustard seed, and the foot of a weasel, and hang
these in a net, and the fish will certainly collect there.
