Path Jumping

For contracting the path [magically speeding one’s travel—Ed.]: take a kosher parchment and write on it in purity and cleanliness. This requires great intention [kavanah] in the names: “In the name Yakhpael, Lamel, Hallela’el, Halpi’el, I adjure you to contract for me this path and lead me quickly, with a skip and a hop, until I have arrived at such-and-such a place.” Take a cane or hazelwood stick, carve the side of the stick or cane, put the parchment inside it and seal the stick or the cane, and hit the animal he is riding with the stick or cane—and you shall see wonders. This requires prayer and fasting, and the names should be written in calligraphy. This is tried and tested.
