232: Merki

All animals living in the water and their propagation are under the competence of this head. Merki is the protector of all fishermen on earth. He is responsible for good and bad luck in fishing. He has taught mankind to tin fish. This industry, too, is far from having reached its summit, and there are still many discoveries to be made which will astonish man. The magician is taught by this head how to control the water animals by the magic of elements and by Quabbalah, how they, for in- stance, can be caused to congregate at certain places, etc. He may, furthermore, hear about many other practices concerning the controlling of water animals.
