Paracelsvs Of the supreme mysteries of nature.: Of [brace] the spirits of the planets. Occult philosophy. The magical, sympathetical, and antipathetical cure of wounds and diseases. The mysteries of the twelve signs of the zodiack. / Englished by R. Turner, philomathēs.

Of Sheep.

That we may not only have some means to drive away and expel hurtful Creatures, but also that we may preserve the profitable; When Sheep are Corrupted with their Diseases, make a Sheep of Mudd as followeth:

Take Mudd, or Potters Clay, from three several places, much about the place where you live: Also, take Sand of a running Water about that place where for the most part Sheep drink; beat them all together when the Moon decreases: and of this Clay make the Image of a Sheep, under that hour wherein the Moon suffers her diminution: superscribe these fol∣lowing Signs with the Words here and there upon the Image.

Set this Sheep in the Sheep-fold sprinkled over with Salt, and let the living Sheep lick it: And as many as lick it, or taste of this Salt, shall not be infected, nor die with any Murrain or Rot of Sheep: And those that are infected, by licking thereof, shall be Cured.

The same means may be prepared for Oxen, Kine, and Hogs; and other Animals; every one being prepared according to their natures, day, and time. Oxen and Kine have a Disease in their Blood, which causeth the Murrain in them; as Horses somtimes suffer sudden death through a Disease in the Uvula. For the Blood, write upon an Egg new laid,

Open the Mouth of the Beast, and break the Egg upon his Tongue, and force him to swallow

it, and it will forthwith heal it; but let him not drink in twelve hours afterwards.

The same is to be given to a Horse: onely this excepted, that in stead of this Word and Sign, Ambrammomis, and the Cross above, let there

be writ this Word, and Sign, Kup∣familon, and then let him swallow it: afterwards give him a measure of Oats with Salt and Vineger, and af∣terwars he shall be cured in twelve hours: but presently after he hath eaten the Oats, ride him an hour or two, that he may sweat: then let him rest. These are the secrets of Nature, which are effected by times, dayes and hours; and without the observation of these, nothing can be effected.
