23: Melahel

the twenty-third genius of the Mercury sphere, entrusts the magician with quabbalistic formulae that will protect him against any kind of weapon. Amulets manufactured according to the instructions of this genius protect against sur- prise attacks on journeys. Other quabbalistic formulae which this genius has at his disposal cause the greatest fire to stop instantly, make one bear the greatest possible heat, without singeing one single hair on one's body. Since this genius is also acquainted with herbal medicines he can give the magician excellent resipes for the preparation of blends of tea and their dosage for the treatment of diseases.
