Sun four faces in summer and winter. You have arranged
the completion of the Moon without a veil Give me in this
oil the love and acceptance until the love of all the people
to me runs in their hearts and defeats the rulers, kings and
rulers, it is me, I beg you my lord to make in the hearts and
mind of all this people and in all the places they gather, so
much love and happiness to me and to mighty me. I beg
you my Lord ANTOOR the one that sits in the orbit, O
HARTIYOON, AKTARYA, AOODA, YAMOORA, to give
this oil I'm holding in my hand the love in the hearts of all
kings, presidents and nobles so they are never an enemy to
me and to return to me with love and obey and make them
rush in pleasing me. I beg you my Lord SLTYOBAROON
the one that sits in the fifth sky, to tie the tongues and the
hearts of any one wishes harm to me, make no one can say
anything or think anything bad about me, make them
can't talk with any harm to me at all, at all I beg you my
Lord SUSIP the one that sits in the sixth sky to tie the
tongues, words and the thoughts of my enemies and to
spread my love into their hearts. It is me my Lord
BARHAWT the one that sits in the seventii sky to give me
the love and the best logic, the well praise on me from
others. Give me in this oil, plenty of love and acceptance
as a must on every human day and night In the name of
the loved one the live, the one that with him all hearts
harmonize and the moderate in moodiness give an extreme
love in peoples hearts towards me that lasts for eternity
and forever and ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
ever, ever, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.
Then you save that oil and use it on your face and
body when you will meet kings or nobles, then you will
see wonders from them.

N THE BOOK OF ABU BAKR IBN WAHSHIJA under
the name Nabataean Agriculture he talks about the
Nabataeans and some of their talismans and he says:
"some of the wise-men had a long story about the
laurel tree and how it talked to the vineyard keeper as one
day he was sleeping in the middle of the garden and
surrounded with four laurel trees and he dreamt that one
of the trees told him, "Hey human do you have in your
garden anything better then me? Or who could say that
they have seen a tree like me". So the vineyard keeper said
"What is the meaning of this?" and the tree said "You need
to know my superiority over all the other trees and my
high standing with Jupiter so you can sympathize with me
and take care of me in watering and planting and in return
I will tell you what you need to do, get up at midnight and
bring with you some of the gillyflower oil, grease me with
the oil then lift you head to the sky and look at Jupiter and
say "Aye the source of all happiness, add to my life and to
my time fifteen years" and for sure you will be granted
fifteen more years more life above your life from that
date". "Then you need to say "1 mediate to you with this
tree". Then the tree told the vineyard keeper that he needs
to try it and he will find that it is true and it is useful to
grant him his wishes. The tree also said that he will see the
superiority and the high standing of the tree under
Jupiter's rulership. That is why the tree was called the
Laurel tree that talked to the vineyard keeper, they also
237
^ Picatrix - ^
called it the "Who have seen anything like me" tree. Abu
Wahshija claimed that in this story there is great
knowledge and a successful sign that this tree is a special
tree with special gift-
There are other stories that were written specifically
about the laurel tree that 1 would like to mention to you
reader so vou can see how many weird effects this tree has.
one of them is if you take fourteen laurel tree seeds. Dry
them on an iron mill that has a very low coal fire for an
hour. Then grind the seeds some more till thev are
completely powder, put them in a clean bowl and cover it
with wine vinegar- Beat it with a branch of fig tree and
when any person drinks that he will turn into a crazy
person that is not aware of any one around him and won't
know what is wrong with him. The onlv wav to remove
the spell and end this persons madness is to feed that
person three medium steed radishes with their leaves
sliced into small pieces and the person should eat it all
without leaving any pieces behind, then the effect of that
madness will go away in about an hour as soon as the
radish starts to digest in his stomach.
It has also been said that if you pick one leal of the
laurel tree without dropping it to the ground and put it
behind your ear you wouldn't get drunk no matter how
much you drink and you wouldn't get any headache from
drinking either. Is not that a strange charm?
If you also take from the laurel tree leaves a moist leaf
and as you are grinding it mix it with one small amount Of
jonquil and good vinegar, then you put some of that on
any part of your body and you put on that part a red hot
iron bar you won't feel anything, also if you use it en your
238

hands and hold a red hot iron bar it won't burn you or
harm vou at alL
There is a similar story that was told by Shifahy but
this one was on the hollyhock tree that Shifahy claimed
that is as magical as the laurel tree. He said that this tree
used to talk to him in his sleep all the time and while he is
awake too. Every time he heard the tree telling him
anything he would immediately write it down rearing that
he might forget it. So one night the tree came to his dream
and told him "vou need to know that mv name is one of
Mercury's names and you think that I'm only a hollyhock
tree. I had so many arguments and disputes with
mandrake because he claims that he is entitled with this
position rather than me and that everything in the ground
is his, he knows that he cannot change his location, nature
and specialties. The mandrake is so ignorant and stupid
for claiming all this and what I sav is impossible, he says it
is possible to be done. I ask you Shifahy to write to the
wise-men of Babel so they can judge between me and
mandrake, as thev know so much more about this
knowledge then you do and as you know 1 can not write to
people or tell them anything I want 1 told you because 1
have chosen you for this mission over all the other
people". Then the tree disappeared in the air as soon as it
was done talking and Shifahy never saw the tree again. So
he wrote to Babel's wise-men and he received an answer
that savs "We have received your letter and we were very
pleased for your safety- The hollyhock tree for us is not in
the same importance as the mandrake tree, the mandrake
has greater position and more valuable to us because of its
actions and use and even in its harms- Yet with all this, the
mandrake is tricky, shifty and we can not stand his
evilness or his strength and we prevent his evil not to be

against hollyhock but just to prevent his evilness, as both
of the trees have the same nature of coldness, heaviness,
slowness and they are both belong to two strong planets.
Mercury and his father Saturn. These plants are intelligent
and we were surprised to know that there is a dispute
between them as the disputes and evilness would happen
between two fools, but to happen between two intelligent
plants is surprising as they should not have any dispute or
evil. For a dispute to happen between two intelligent
plants there has to be a cause that would lead to that but
when it happens between two fools, it just happens
because of their nature. The intelligent have one cause for
dispute but ignorant have two causes as the dispute then
would happen for so many causes and not from one cause.
We have judged for mandrake plant as we use it a lot in
our work and it does a great effect. We also use the
hollyhock plant in some places and some certain
situations, like connecting, passion and deep sympathy
and in some charms that requires the benefit of hollyhock.
But the mandrake plants effect in evil is more powerful
and we use it more for that reason". So 1 brought the letter
to the hollyhock tree and informed it with its arrival. Then
I left and the hollyhock tree came to me in my sleep and I
told it what the wise-men have decided and that thev said
that they have judged for me not for him by saving that!
am good and he is evil and also by saying that they praise
him and prefer him because of his evilness is a great proof
that I am better. Just as there are in animals, the
maliciousness between them like predatorv aninials you
would fear them for their evilness. Or like the kinds of
snakes that are terrifying in their evilness, but because they
are evil they are miserable and burdensome not like the
good ones which eat the grass and are happy for being
Ghayat Ai-Hakim &
good and that is why the snakes are sought to be killed but
the fish and turtles are safe and happy. So the wise men
actually judged him with evilness and fear but 1 am better
and happier- Just like those who are good in human kind
are better than those who are bad among them in all the
many ways and the only exception between bad and good
are the comfortable consciences of the good and the
uncomfortable consciences of the bad. As the one with the
comfortable in conscience enjoys the life and its food and
drinks but the bad ones cannot enjoy anything because
their hearts are always busy with evil". That why Shifahy
the wise-man of Al-Garamika ordered his people to build
in their statues a figure of a man holding in his right hand
a branch of the hollyhock tree as he is leaning on the tree
itself and the knots in the tree showing clearlv a great
snake rapt around it and on the top of the branch there is a
cross made of gold and the snake mouth is wide open
facing the man. Due to this statue this group of people has
so much knowledge and magical symbolism in using the
hollyhock and the mandrake tree in their charms.

that he c
