Der Curieuse and Vernünfftige Zauber-Artz, Christoph von Hellwig

An Amulet against Angst (Anxiety- something for us/we, 'moderns' can use):


"Procure a large Hazelnut, that has a wormhole or natural hole within.  Clean the nut with a needle so the inside is empty.  Then you must take the "Peacock Mirror" (the 'eye' of a Peacock feather) and stuff as much as possible in the Hazelnut.  Then put quicksilver in the hole and seal it with 'virgin beeswax'.  Place the Hazelnut in a little Crimson cloth bag and wear it around the neck."






Mercury is highly toxic- FYI


Time for Deutsche Kinder to get off das Handy and learn some Fraktur script, they'll learn a million old golden cultural things.  Hopefully, this is funny to older Deutsche Leute, who speak better English than I do Deutsch!
