Since the beginning of the ages, we have always been fascinated with magic. From Wicca to common parlor card tricks, we seem to love being "fooled" by the slight of hand. What is more enticing is the power and ability to fool the mind. Ultimately, we have always wished for the one thing we can never have: power over the human psyche and the ability to control free will in another person. Albertus Magnus was not only a strong believer in the power of suggestion from magic, but became known to many in his time as an expert in the field. Collected here are just a few of his more popular and highly regarded spells that was believed to work on anyone, anywhere, anytime. Feel free to try them out for yourself. You may be amazed at what you find.

A Secret and curious Piece of Marvel, to Discern in a mirror what an Enemy designs
(proven to work at a distance of three (3) miles or more)

While this is only a few of many of Magnus' experimental formulas with natural earth elements, it was just enough to show just how quickly we can go from holistic remedies for common ailments to supernatural practices to control others for our own personal gain. It is plain to see that most of the more extravagant formulas are obviously out of reach for most of the modern world. However, there are several spells, charms, amulets, potions and chants, worldwide, still being created and practiced in various cultures today.
Without a doubt, the Internet and even your local library is chocked full of material on mystics, witchcraft, white and black magic. Many even believed that the greatest natural healer known to humankind, Jesus Christ, used a natural formula or two, similar to these here, to heal the sick, restore the blind and cure the deaf.
History has also shown us that many great world leaders as far back as Ancient Egypt and Rome all the way up to modern Europe, England and North America, all practice or practiced some form of white or black magic for social-political, financial gain. In the end, it is all about Power. This is what they were after: then and now. Sadly, just like all great leaders and their kingdoms, history has also shown us that there is no way known to humankind how to obtain ultimate and absolute power and how to keep it. Sure there are plenty of rich people everywhere in the world, but are they wealthy? Is having it all "really" having "it all"...you decide.
Or worse-what if right at this very moment as you're reading this you realize a spell is being cast upon you? Too late. Turn around.
