Carried to America by German-speaking emigrants, it settled into the powwow and braucherei practice of the Pennsylvania Dutch alongside Hohman's \u003cem\u003eLong Lost Friend\u003c\/em\u003e which we publish as \u003cem\u003eThe Long Hidden Friend\u003c\/em\u003e\", and by the early twentieth century the Chicago publisher de Laurence had made it a fixture of the American conjure catalogues, where it remains in use to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eThis is not a book of abstract theory. It is a working manual. Its three volumes gather charms to stop blood and set fractures, to fix a thief in his tracks until he returns what he has taken, to make a man proof against shot and blade, to summon and mark the witch who has spoiled the milk, to quench a burning house, to compel the return of stolen goods, to discover treasure beneath the earth. Between them run the sympathetic remedies, the herb waters and salves, the SATOR square, the threefold repetition, the N. N. left blank for the sufferer's name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003ePresented complete in three volumes as first issued, the text stands as a rare and unvarnished record of magic as it was actually practised — Christian, pragmatic, unbothered by the line between white art and black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 978-1-918350-19-7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 234 x 156mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 240 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding \u0026amp; production:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Gloss laminate cover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcane Offerings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67574107799722,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/8407\/1082\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_52b79849-8382-4ea2-ba78-fc222305210c.jpg?v=1791233868","url":"https:\/\/arcaneofferings.com\/products\/egyptian-secrets-of-albertus-magnus-troy-books-paperback","provider":"Arcane Offerings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
