a hole in the ground so the water that leaks from the skins
gathers in the hole. When the water starts leaking from the
water skins, put by each water skin a snake. Then run fast
to the river and carry as much as you can from the river's
water in your mouth, go back to the water skins and spill
that water on each snake and water skin. Put at the head of
each snake a brazier made of silver and put in it soft aloe
wood, amber and narcissus. Do not stop the censing until
all the water is drained in the water skins. Then take the
snakes and put them in the water skins and bury it in the
hole and on the same place sacrifice the immolation, then
bow fifteen times and say when you lift your head after
each bow Harkoom, harkoom, fivetimes, then you will see
a spirit at it is best shape, tell the spirit your request
because he is able to seek and get it for you from the east
to the west of the earth.
I had a friend that made this invocation to the Moon
and the spirit appeared to him, my friend's wish was a
charm for finding treasures, so the spirit carried him to a
location that nobody had seen or heard about before. Then
the spirit gave him a statue of an elephant made of copper,
holding a metal key on his feet The spirit told my friend to
carry the elephant and walk with him where ever he
wishes and where ever the key falls on the ground that
will be the spot where he needs to dig for treasure. So he
walked holding the elephant about four cubit and the key
fell so he found a basement under ground, he walked
under till that basement opened up to a huge house full of
golden and silver tombs and plenty of rubies. So he carried
as much as he desired of the treasure and he repeated the
invocation several times.
