Tenth Chapter
On the Revolution, how a magus can redeem a soul who is not in the reign of God making him to take a body and so to reach the beatitude.
Concerning the revolution (artificial incarnation) of the spirits, these, when they find themselves prisoners of darkness, are ready to take on once again a form. In fact they love man, and since man as soul and spirit is able to host them, they gladly obey him, as they know in so doing they contribute to their redemption. Nevertheless, man to perform this operation – as I have already told you – has to know himself (1) and be a magus. Then he can do what he wants, as in his soul there lie all the ideas of this and future world, and the Great Spirit operates in him through it, as the beloved ancient had understood. Hence they have taught us that, to a spirit to become man again, that’s to say to take his image, he needs be strong, break the chains within himself and making a junction to Great Spirit of Jehovah. Then, when he owns this power, man can move all the strengths, both superior and inferior, and creating, together with God, all the Spirit products. While the man who has lost his image and is in the wrath of god will not succeed, it is no use his try. Only he who is with God can perform actions together with Him.
It is evident that in nature a continue metamorphosis takes place, that nature incessantly transforms a thing into another. So do know that this is the greatest secret of the divine magnetic magic. In fact only the man merged with the Spirit of God can feel the power of the soul and the supernatural harmonies of the spirits.
So take some earth from a decomposed body whose nothing has been lost and put it in a great glass alembic. But this earth must come from a virgin or an adolescent, as with the earth of an adult man or a woman the operation cannot be performed; you will find a great difference. With a virgin you will obtain a good looking nymph and who also becomes very intelligent, more than other people. When you have put the earth in an alembic, put together also 2 drams ( 1/4 ounce) of sal sapientiae miscrocosmi. Then have a vein opened, take only one ounce of blood and pour immediately on the earth; close the alembic and make it to stay at moderate warm for 4 weeks. Past this time, add another ounce of blood just leaked out from your vein, in this way your spirit will enter the earth, magnetically combine with it and condense in a round sphere.
When you will see this sphere, let some air to go into the glass, so the life doesn’t asphyxiate but can attract influxes as from the superior region as from nature. After other 4 weeks take another ounces of your blood, pour it still warm into an alembic and plug it with cotton. Place the glass in an oven easily carried and able to keep a moderate warm; when there is Sun, put it at Sun, and overnight, if the weather is fine, in the open. Thus the morning you will see that the matter is clustered and made a sphere and your glass has opened in the top, you will have the guaranteed indication the the spirit of the body has entered its earth. Then ask God to make you able to keep this spirit. Otherwise it will break the glass with noise. So you should pray with ardor, take the oven with the glass in your room, take care that nobody could come close or touch it. Put in your mouth 1 grain of a lapis medicinalis which has been prepared with 1 grain of earth or 1 grain of rainwater, penetrate God with the strength of your spirit and for seven times convey your breath into the glass with all your strength; so after a while in the glass something will take action. Plug the glass with cotton and take care that nothing can fall into.
After 4 weeks have again a vein opened, take again 1 ounce of your blood and pour it still warm into an alembic. Keep all at moderate warm for other 6 months. This time past, the nourishment will lack to the fruit and it begin to cry. Then break open the glass, pull out the fruit, wash and clean it with warm water, band and take care of it as any other child. In this way after seven years it will reach the size of one in his twenties.
if instead you want to born a dog or a similar animal, do the following: take the earth from an animal, whatever is, putrified and decomposed. Put into a clean alembic, bleed yourself, amalgamate with the earth 1/2 of your still warm blood, and get the glass at a moderate warm for fourteen days and fourteen nights. Then add another 1/2 ounce of your blood. Repeat this operation 4 times. Two months past, take one dram ( 1/8 ounce) of lapis medicinalis prepared starting from your blood, grind it well, put it in the alembic and let to act for 4 days and 4 nights. Then take from an animal as that you have previously taken the earth, as much blood as an animal needs to keep alive. Pour it still warm into an alembic; so the earth will rise in the blood and come to surface: Wrap some wool around the glass and keep at warm till the animal has no more nourishment. Then break the glass and bring the animal in a warm place, till he gets used to air and cold. Then feed it with chewed bread, open its jaws and loosen up its tongue. In this way it will learn to talk. You can teach it many languages and have it in your service for all you need. Being generated with the essence, it will obey you with great devotion. It will protect you from any enemy , and accompany you even in death.
if you want instead to use the earth of a decomposed man and an animal’s blood, do the following: pick the earth of a person who din’t surely die in the grace of God. Take this earth, put in into an alembic and add to it 1 dram (1/8 ounce) of lapis microcosmi and 1 dram of lapis macrocosmi subtly ground.
Then take from big dogs or similar animals all the blood their veins do contain and pour on the till warm earth. Place the alembic on a movable oven and bring it outdoor, to the sun and moon conveying their beams. Keep it this way, at moderate warm, for 3 months. But if after seven days you find the alembic opened, this is sign that the spirit has come back to its body, so to, the great God allowing, can rid of the world of darkness. Such a soul does prefer to be into an animal than to be prisoner of darkness and fear. In fact it has a strong desire for flesh and blood and wanted them back again. This time past, the fruit will be developed and be hungry. Thus bring the animal to a warm place and wrap it up in linen, till it familiarize itself with air. Chew the bread for it and feed it, and give him drink warm broth till he begins to eat and drink on its own.
After 4 months it can already be at your service. It will learn your language and you can send it to all the hidden places. In fact it is able to pass through all the closed door and also through mountains and no spirit can resist to it but give way. A soul reborn in this way can also go, if you wish and for your love, to very far countries and do in them what you wish. With this genus you can talk of future; in addition it is ready to serve you in all, but you cannot use it against God’s justice.
In the same way you can prepare a dove. take a dead dove around a year old, put it into a stone vessel, cover and bury it in a place where nobody can find it. After 4 months dig out and unearth the stone vessel; inside it you will find a earth. Take this earth and put it into an alembic, pour on it 1/2 pound of your blood and proceed as I have taught to you. After some time, during which you will have imbibed the earth with your blood and operated as exactly I have taught to you in the second operation, pour again on the earth the still warm blood of a dove as such you took the earth. Go on like that till you get what you wish for. Ancient did use these doves for many secret thinks.
Now I will teach you what a magus should do to transform and modify himself, or better to rejuvenate all his person in a natural way, so to have new hair and unghie and thus to have all his body changed making it to turn into a boy in his twenties, even if you are already in your nineties. In this ways our old renewed themselves often for hundreds of years.

If you wish to recover the lost strengths in order to be young again and strong like an eagle, both in mind and in body, you must know the following:
If you want to change all your person get a room in a place where nobody knows you, and thus can not get in the way. In fact for at least eight-ten weeks you should breath clean air and live in a temperate warm room. You should not eat acid and indigestible food. Should drink every day only tea and light beer, neither too much fresh not too much matured. Two times a week you should take a good sweat, so take every morning one dram of a lapis medicinali prepared out of your own blood and 1/2 dram of a lapis medicinalis prepared starting from earth or rainwater, mix them, take every morning 1/2 grain and then fasts for 4 hous. Rimani coperto for two hours, then get up and do wear another shirt. Mind your room must be well arm. Go on like that for eight-ten weeks. The fourth week your hair, all your piles, nails and all teeth will start to fall, and you begin to discharge impurities and mucus so abundant that you will be amazed.

The eight and nineth week, if you you’ll get really hot, being that the time in which the fire of nature turns on and strongly expels everything, drink lemon juice with sugar and a good almond milk.
