^Chapter Nine^
WE ALSO FOUND IN THAT BOOK in the
temple some talismans that were used back
then in the time of queen Cleopatra that I
would like to share with you reader, these
talismans do wonders with the natural functions they
posses. Of these talismans there is the kohl talisman that
the person that has a snake bite or scorpion sting or viper
or wasp or all other vermin bites use it as a cure and the
way it is made is by taking the gallbladder of a kite and let
it dry in the shade, then put it in a clean glass bottle with
some groundnut juice and use it when someone is bit by
any of these vermin use it for three days and that will cure
that person from the bite. The talisman of the rattling bell
that is used to force snakes and scorpions out of their holes
and the way it is done is by taking a pharaonic glass bottle
and steel fillings and melt them in a container with red
arsenic and red magnesia, then take the mixture out and
break it into small pieces, then grind some red rust with
black henna then add it to the melted metal and make a
bell of it and make the handle of the bell out of loadstone.
Once you are done making the bell use it to get snakes and
scorpions and similar vermin out of their holes and then
you can make what you would like with them. There is
also a bird that has the feature that he could get the snakes
and scorpions out of their holes by shrieking out loud.
