The Black Pullet by Anonymous

Description

The Black Pullet is a book by an anonymous author, first published in the 18th century. This enigmatic grimoire presents itself as a practical manual of talismanic magic: instructions for crafting rings, amulets and sigils, rituals for commanding spirits, and techniques claimed to grant invisibility, wealth, and other extraordinary powers. Framed as the tale of a French officer who, during an Egyptian campaign, is rescued and schooled by a mysterious old man in the pyramids, the work blends hands-on magical recipes with an orientalist narrative voice, drawing on the Egyptomania and Hermetic curiosities that gripped Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Long a favourite among collectors of occult pamphlets and grimoires, the book has circulated in many editions and translations and is frequently paired with other popular texts of folk magic. Its mixture of storytelling and pragmatic ritual has influenced later compilations of ceremonial and talismanic lore and remains of interest to students of European esotericism, occultism, and the history of magical practice.
