1. Celtic Potions that we have founded
For Prophecies: Fumes made of linseed, fleabane seeds,
roots of violets and parsley doth make you to foresee things
to come and doth conduce to prophesying
For Youth: Make a powder of the flowers of elder,
gathered on Midsummer’s Day, being before well dried, and
use a spoonful thereof in a good draught of borage-water,
morning and evening, first and last, for the space of a
month; and it will make you seem young for a great while.
For Invisibility: On Midsummer’s Eve gather some fern
seed between eleven and noon. Whenever you carry it, you
will be invisible. But you must take care not to lose any of
it; else you will not regain your proper shape.
To Find Out a Thief: To discover who they are that
have stolen from you and make them confess: take
quicksilver and the white of an egg. Mingle them together
and make an eye upon the wall with it. Then gather
together all whom you suspect, and tell them to gaze upon
the eye. His or her eye that stole from you will water.
To Improve the Appearance: If you wish to make hair
grow on your head, anoint it with milk and honey and
fennel seed. Do this twice a day.
