PREFACE
The work which we offer to the public must not be confused with a collection of reveries and errors to
which their authors have tried to give credence by announcing supernatural feats; which the credulous
and the ignorant siezed with avidity. We only quote the most respectable authorities and most dignified
in faith. The principles which we present are based on the doctrines of the ancients and modern, who full
of respect for the Divinity, were always the friends of mankind, endeavoured to recall them to virtue, by
showing them vice in all its deformity. We have drawn from the most pure sources, having only in view
the love of truth and the desire to enlighten those who desire to discover the secrets of Nature and the
marvels which they unfold to those who never separate the darkness which surrounds them. It is only
given to those who are favoured by The Great Being, to raise themselves above the terrestial sphere, and
to plan a bold flight in the etheric regions; it is for these priviledged men that we write.
To us no importance is given to the splenetic Voices which are raised against us. The silence and the
smile of disdain will be the only answer with which We shall oppose them, and we shall follow with firm
Sustained steps the route which indicates to us the luminous stars which fill the heavens, which cover our
heads, and which light these thousands of worlds, which bless every day with our Sovereign Master of
the Universe, which He has created, also ourselves, and whose Will maintains this admirable order,
The Black Pullet - Science of Magical Talismans.
Which commands our admiration, our respect and our love.
The Black Pullet or The Hen with the Golden Eggs
Before beginning the subject, and to acquaint my readers of this profound Science, which until the
present day has been the object of research of the most constant and profound meditations, I must un-
bosom myself how these marvelous secrets were communicated to me, and the manner in which the
Divine Providence allowed me to escape from the greatest dangers and, so to speak, conducted me by the
Divine Hand, to prove that by Divine Will it is sufficient to raise unto Himself the last of Beings or to
precipate to naught those who are clothed with all power on Earth. We all therefor come from God, God
is everything, and without God nothing can exist. Who more than I may penetrate the truth eternal and
sacred.
I formed part of the expedition to Egypt, an officer in the army of the genius. I took part in the successes
and reverses of this army, which victorious or obliged to cede to force from the eventualities and
circumstances, always covered itself with glory.
As there is no point in relating here any detail which deals with this memorable campaign, I will but
relate one single feature, with which I was touched, and is necessary for the development which I must
give to those whom I mentioned in my preface. I had been sent by the General, under whose orders I
found myself, to draw up the plans of the Pyramids; he had given me an escort of some mounted light
infantry horse. I arrived with them at my destination without experiencing any accident, also without
noticing anything that could conjecture the fate that awaited us. We had dismounted near the Pyramids,
our horses had been tethered; sitting on the sands we appeased the hunger that tormented us. French
gaiety seasoned the food which composed our frugal meal. It was on the point of ending, and I was
occupied with my work when all of a sudden a horde of desert Arabs fell on us. We did not have the time
to place ourselves in a position of defence. The blows of swords descended upon us, the bullets whistled,
and I received several wounds. My unhappy companions were lying on the ground dead or expiring. Our
cruel enemies after having removed our weapons and clothes, disappeared with our horses with the speed
of lightning. I remained for some time in a state of prostration, facing the sun. At last recovering some of
my strength, I raised myself with pain. I had two sword cuts on the head, and one on the left arm. I
looked around me. I saw nothing but corpses, a burning sky and arid sand in an immense desert and a
frightning solitude. With but the hope of a certain and cruel death, I resigned myself to saying goodbye to
my country to my parents and to my friends. Invoking heaven, I crawled to the Pyramid, and the blood
which ran with abundance from my wounds reddened the sand which was soon to be my tomb.
Arriving at the foot of these worldly marvels I sat down and leaned against this enormous mass that had
seen many centuries pass by and which would see many more pass. I thought that my existence which
was soon to end had come to naught just as the day which was nearing its end, the sun being on the point
of plunging into the ocean.
"Brilliant star, receive my goodbyes," I said with emotion. "My eyes will never see you again, your

benificent light will never shine on me again. Goodbye." As I said this goodbye which I thought was
eternal, the sun disappeared. The night came and covered the world with its dark curtain.
I was absorbed with the most sad reflections when a light noise could be heard a few paces from me. A
large slab of stone detached itself from the pyramid and fell on the sand; I turned to that side, and by the
light of a small lantern that he carried in his hand, I perceived a venerable old man who came out of the
pyramid. A white beard covered his chest, a turban covered his head, and the rest of his costume
indicated that he was a Mohammedan. He cast his eyes around; then advancing a few steps he halted
opposite the corpse of one of my unhappy companions of misfortune.
"Oh Heavens!" he cried in Turkish. "A man is wounded, a Frenchman is dead." He lifted his eyes to the
sky saying: "Oh Allah." He then discovered the others which he carefully examined to see if he could not
find one who still breathed, and to assure himself, I saw him place his hand in the region of the heart. The
old man recognised that they had all ceased to live. Uttering a painful groan, with tears furrowing down
from his eyes, he retraced his steps to re—enter the pyramid. I felt the desire to conserve my days. I had
already made the sacrifice of my life; hope entered my heart. Summoning all my strength, I called to
him; he heard me, and turning his lantern in my direction, he saw me. Advancing he gave me his hand,
which I seized and pressed to my ups. He saw that I was wounded and that blood was flowing from the
cuts on my head.
Placing his lantern on the ground, he removed his girdle and covered my brow. He then helped me to get
up. I had lost a lot of blood and was suffering from extreme weakness—I hardly had the strength to
support myself. Placing his lantern in my hand, then taking me in his arms, he carried me near the
opening in the pyramid from which he had come and placed me gently on the sand. Giving me an
affectionate grip of the hand, he indicated that he was re-entering the pyramid and would return
promptly.
I gave thanks to Heaven for the unexpected help that had been sent me. The old man reappeared carrying
a flagon. He removed the cork and poured a few drops of the liqueur into a drinking vessel which he
gave to me to drink. A delicious perfume diffused around me. Hardly had this Divine Liqueur penetrated
my stomach than I felt regenerated, and I had enough strength to enter the pyramid with my benefactor
and generous conductor.
We then stopped for a few moments. He replaced the stone that had fallen, which he adjusted with an
iron bar, and we descended by an easy slope into the interior of the pyramid. After having walked for
some time on the same path, which made several sinuous turns, we arrived at a door which he secretly
opened and closed with care. Then having crossed an immense hall, we entered another place. A lamp
hung from the ceiling; there was a table covered with books, several oriental divans or seats, and a bed
on which to rest. The kind old man conducted me to a seat where he made me sit down. Placing his
lantern on the table he opened a kind of cupboard from which he took several vases.
He approached me and invited me to remove my clothes with an attention and complaisance difficult to

describe. Having examined my wounds he applied with solemn formality several balms which came
from the vases of which I have previously spoken. Hardly had they been applied to my arms and head
than the pains were soothed. He invited me to lie on his bed, and very soon a beneficial and soothing
sleep weighed down my eyelids.
When I awoke, I looked around and saw sitting near me the good old man who did not wish to partake of
rest while I was asleep as he feared that I might need help. I tendered him my most grateful thanks by the
most expressive signs. In the same manner he signified to me that I must remain quiet. He gave me a new
portion of the cordial which had already proved its happy effects. Afterwards he looked at me with
extreme attention, and realizing that he had nothing to fear for my life, he affectionately patted my hand.
He then lay down on some cushions on the other side of the chamber where we were, and soon I heard
him sleeping profoundly and peacefully.
"Oh benevolent one," I said to myself, "thou art virtue par excellance and a pure emanation of the
Divinity; thou unitest and bringest men together and thou makest them forget the pains to which they are
prey. Through thee they are returned to happiness, and too thou art this happiness, the object of all their
wishes and all their desires."
My host made a movement and got up. He came to me and smiled at seeing me in a state of calm and
tranquility which left him in no fear of my being. He gave me to understand that he was going to leave
me so that he could go out of the pyramid and see what was happening outside. He brought to my side
that which he thought would be necessary for my needs, and then he left me alone.
Until this moment I had not reflected at all on what had happened to me in this exigency. I found myself
safe in this subterranean place, and I had no uneasiness relative to my host; however, this would have to
come to an end by my departing after I had been cured and re-joining the Army. I was occupied with
these ideas when I saw the old man re-enter. He gave me to understand that several Arab corps and
Mamelouks were surveying the plain and that he had seen them without being noticed because his retreat
was impenetrable to all eyes. He indicated that he had me in his care and regarded me as his son;
therefore I could deliver myself to the greatest security. I indicated to him my complete gratitude, and he
appeared satisfied. As I appeared to be dissatisfied to be able to express myself only by signs, he brought
me a book indicating that with its help we could soon communicate together without hesitation. The
career which I had followed since my childhood had familiarised me with meditation, I loved the
application of mind, and I was soon in the condition to listen to my generous old man. He also showed
such compliance in the lessons which he gave me that even with less good will, one would have made
progress. I remain silent on all that was relative to my new education. My complete cure and
convalescence took longer than I realized. My host went out from time to time to see what was taking
place as he was in complete ignorance of earthly events.
In short, one day he was longer than usual, and on his return he informed me that the French Army had
evacuated Egypt and that I could not hope to leave at this time without giving an account of the days that
I had spent with him. I should stay with him which he would make me do by his kindness and love so

that in my particular case of captivity my fate would not be as cruel as I might think because he would
teach me things which would astonish me and I should desire nothing in the way of good fortune. I had
begun to understand the Turkish language. He told me to get up. I obeyed him. He took me by the hand
and conducted me to the end of the chamber. He opened a door opposite the one by which one entered,
and taking a lamp from the table we entered a vault where there were disposed in regular lines several
coffers which he opened. They were full of gold and gems of every kind.
"You
see my son that with this
one never fears poverty. Everything is yours; I am reaching the end of my career, and I shall be happy to
leave them in your possession. These treasures are not the fruit of avarice and a sordid interest. I own
them by the knowledge of Occult Sciences with which I am familiar and the boon which has been
granted to me by The Great Being to penetrate the secrets of Nature. I can still command the Powers that
populate the Earth and Space and are not visable to ordinary men.
"I like you, my dear son. I recognise in you the candour, sincerity, love of truth, and aptitude for these
sciences, and most of all I wish you to know that they have cost me more than eighty years of research,
meditation, and experience.
"The science of the Magicians, the language of the hieroglyphics, have been lost by the downfall of man.
Only I am the guardian. I will impart these precious confidences to you, and we will read together these
characters traced on the pyramids which have been the despair of scholars and before which they have
paled for many centuries."
The prophetic manner in which he spoke impressed me and I showed a very lively desire to understand
that with which he wished to acquaint me. I told him this in the Turkish language which I was beginning
to understand and to talk in a manner so that I could be understood.
"Your wishes shall be fulfilled," answered my adopted father. Then lifting one hand to the arch of
heaven, he spoke in a solemn tone: Love, my son, love the very good and the very grand God of the
philosophers, and never become proud if he brings you in contact with the children of wisdom for you to
associate in their company and to make you a participant in the wonders of his power.
After having finished this invocation of sorts, he then said while looking at me: "Such are the principles
which you must fathom. Try and make yourself worthy to receive the light. The hour of your
regeneration has come. You will become like a new individual.
"Pray fervidly to Him who alone has the power to create new hearts, to give you that which will make
you capable of great things that I have to teach you, and to inspire me to withhold from you none of the
mysteries of Nature. Pray. Hope. I eulogise the eternal wisdom which has been placed in my soul and
wish to disclose to you its ineffable truths. And you will be lucky, my son, if nature has placed in your
soul the resolution that these high mysteries will demand of you. You will learn to command all Nature.
God alone will be your master, and the enlightened Will alone be your equal. The supreme intelligences
will glory in obeying your desires. The Demons will not dare to be found where you are. Your voice will
make them tremble in the pits of the abyss, and all the invisibles who inhabit the four elements will
