To become invisible
One Wednesday, before sunrise, take a skull in good condition and seven black beans. Put one bean in the mouth, two in the eyes, two in the nostrils and two in the ears. Then draw a triangle on the skull with a consecrated coal from a censer. Bury it, facing the sun, and water it for nine days with eau-de vie. On the tenth day, there will be born a Spirit that will water itself for seven days. After that time, dig up the head, and, one after the other put the seven beans in your mouth whilst staring at yourself in a mirror. If your image in the mirror disappears, it is a sign that you are invisible.

Axiom of the immortal

Gobelin is a domestic wisp, benevolent, greedy and helpful.
Copernicus, celebrated astronomer, invented a science that was condemned by Rome.
