To travel from one place to another, by flying as fast as the fastest hawk This is a great secret, which was known to the sages of the earliest days, and it is known to some today, though the art was for some time lost. Take snow, and boil it with oil, on a fire of two kinds of wood (one white, the other red), and then put the mixture in a bag made from a sheep’s bladder. When this has been in the bladder for a moon and a half, allow the mixture to run into charcoal, and when all is taken up, powder it upon an alabaster table. This powder is placed in a horn and when you want to fly, take a pinch of the powder and place it within the pages of a book, and then put the book in your robe, in a place which has been prepared for it. You will then take the book and sit with it in your hand, and think of the place which you are to fly. And this takes longer at first. And when you are ready to fly, and will feel tired, and then you are to say, "SISPI, SISPI," and you will instantly be at your destination. When you want to return to the place from which you started, you are to say, "ITTSS, ITTSS," and you will be back. And it is related of a king of former times that he used in this way to rule two lands, and moved so rapidly from one to the other that it was not known until after a revolt took place and he had fled from the first kingdom, that he was the king of two lands.
