The Black Pullet

The Black Pullet is a not so well known grimoire which teaches the "science of magical talismans and rings" including the necromantic arts and Kabbalah. It is rumoured to have been written in the late 18th century by an anonymous French officer who served in Napoleon's army. According to the narrative the story centers around this French officer during Napoleon's (Napoleon is referred to here as the "genius") Egyptian expedition when his unit are suddenly attacked by Arab soldiers. The French officer is the only survivor of the attack. An old Turk appears and takes the French officer into a secret apartment within one of the nearby pyramids. He nurses him back to health whilst sharing with him the magical teachings from ancient manuscripts that escaped the "burning of Ptolemy's library".

The book contains information regarding the creation of certain magical objects such as talismanic rings, amulets and the Black Pullet itself. The book teaches the reader how to use these magical objects. Perhaps the most interesting magical property is the power to produce the Black Pullet, otherwise known as the Hen that Lays Golden Eggs. The person who understands and attains the power to instruct the Black Pullet will gain unlimited wealth. The notion of such a lucrative possession has been reflected throughout history in fairy tales and folklore.

This text has often been associated to two other texts known as the Red Dragon (or The Grand Grimoire) and the Black Screech Owl (also known as The Black Pullet or Treasure of the Old Man of the Pyramids).
