Superstitions

1: Walk under a ladder and you shall have bad luck following after you.

 

3: To Cause Love

Ten leaves of the hemlock dried and powdered and mixed in food or drink will make the person you like to love you in return.

Also keep a sprig of mint in your hand till the herb grows moist and warm, then take hold of the hand of the woman you love, and she will follow you as long as the two hands close over the herb. No invocation is necessary; but silence must be kept between this two parties for ten minutes, to give the charm time to work with due efficacy.

3: How to have Money Always 

Kill a black cock, and go to the meeting of three crossroads where a murderer is buried. Throw the dead bird over your left shoulder then and there, after nightfall, in the name of the devil, holding a piece of money in your hand all the while. And ever after, no matter what you spend, you will always find the same piece of money undiminished in your pocket.

4: How to Go Invisible

Get a raven's heart, split it open with a black-hafted knife; make three cuts and place a black bean in each cut. Then plant it, and when the beans sprout put one in your mouth and say--

"By virtue of Satan's heart,
And by strength of my great art,
I desire to be invisible." And so it will be as long as the bean is kept in the mouth.

6: To get rid of freckles

Anoint a freckled face with the blood of a bull, or of a hare, and it will put away the freckles and make the skin fair and clear. Also the distilled water of walnuts is good

7: To Cure Warts

On meeting a funeral, take some of the clay from under the feet of the men who bear the coffin and apply it to the wart, wishing strongly at the same time that it may disappear; and so it will be

8: Dreams

Never tell your dreams fasting, and always tell them first to a woman called Mary.  

9: To dream of a hearse with white plumes is a wedding; but to dream of a wedding is grief, and death will follow
