To Summon a Faery
An excellent way to gett a fayrie
First get a broad square christal or Venus glass in length and breadth 3
inches, then lay that glass or christal in a red cloth 3 wednesdays or 3
fridays: then take it out and wash it with holy aqua and fumigate it: then
take 3 hazel sticks or wands of an yeare groth, pill them fayre and white,
and make soe longe as you can write the spiritts name, or fayries name,
which you call 3 times, on every sticke being made flatt one side, then bury
them under some stone hill whereas you suppose fayries haunt, the wednesdaye
before you call she, and the fridaye followinge take them uppe and calle she
at 8 or 3 or 10 of the clock which be googe plannetts and howres for that
turne: but when you calle, be in cleane life and turne thy face towards the
East, and when you have she bind her to that stone or glasse.
An unguent to annoynt under the eylidds and upon the eylidds evninge and
morninge, but especially when you call, or finde your sighte not perfect.
Put sallet oyle into a Viall glasse but first wash it withe rose water, and
marygold flower water, the flowers be gathered toward the easts, wash it til
the oyle come white, then putt it into the glasse, ut supra, and put there
to the buds of hollyhocke, the flowers of marygold; the flowers or topps of
wild time the buds of younge hazel, and the time must begathered neare the
side of a hille where fayries used to go oft, and the grasse of a fayrie
throne, there, all these putte into the oyle, in the glasse, and sett it to
dissolve 3 dayes in the sonne, and thou keep it for thy use
