performs this ceremony, three gentlemen will come; but if it be a man, three young ladies<br />

will appear. <strong>The</strong> said three persons will draw lots among each other to know which <strong>of</strong><br />

them shall remain with you. If a man be the operator, she who wins will place herself in<br />

the arm-chair which you have set by the bed, and she will remain and commune with you<br />

pains in the preparation, and hence it is very popular with the makers <strong>of</strong> Grimoires. <strong>The</strong><br />

same observation applies to the following process, which is common to the<br />

supplementary portions <strong>of</strong> the Grand Grimoire, the Grimorium Verum, the Grimoire <strong>of</strong><br />

Honorius and most <strong>of</strong> the minor collections. It is described as an experience <strong>of</strong> the<br />
