Kæshroþrast Summons a King
Kæshroþrast needed to advise a king, but the King refused to meet him. Therefore, he took a lodestone, a horseshoe, a mirror, a gold coin and a piece of the awning from a market stall. He held the lodestone above the horseshoe and said, "I summon this horseshoe to myself with this lodestone. As I summon it now, so shall I summon it again."
He put the awning onto two trestles with his wand, and said, "Beneath this awning many things have been exchanged. As it was done before, so shall I do now."
He put his wand against the coin and said, "The King commanded the making of this coin. It carries his face, It carries his name, it carries his mark. This coin belongs to the King."
He held the horseshoe and the coin under the awning and turned each around the other, and said, "Beneath this awning I exchange this horseshoe and the thing that belongs to the King. As I do this deed now, so shall I do again."
He held the horseshoe and the mirror under the awning and turned each around the other, and said, "Beneath this awning I exchange the horseshoe and its image. As I do this deed now, so shall I do again."
He put the awning onto the horseshoe with his wand, and said, "Beneath this awning I exchange this horseshoe and a thing that belongs to the King. I exchange this horseshoe with its image. I exchange this horseshoe with its image that belongs to the King. I exchange this horseshoe with a horseshoe on the King's horse."
He put his wand against the coin and said, "The King commanded the making of this coin. It carries his face, it carries his name, it carries his mark. It is made of gold. Gold is the metal of kings and the king of metals. This coin represents the King." he bound the coin to the horseshoe with wax and said, "As the King's horse shall carry him, so the horseshoe carries the coin." And he held the lodestone above the horseshoe and said, "As I summoned the horseshoe before, so I summon the horseshoe now. As I summoned the horseshoe on the King's horse, so I summon the horseshoe from the King's horse. As I summon the horseshoe from the King's horse, so I summon the horseshoe on the King's horse. As I summon the horseshoe that carries the King's coin, so I summon the horse that carries the King. As the horseshoe brings the coin to me, so let the horse bring the King to me."
And when the King rode his horse, it brought him to Kæshroþrast. And Kæshroþrast advised him wisely, and told him how to defy an enemy who wished to use evil magic against him. And Kæshroþrast gave the talisman to the King and said, "I have made this talisman to summon you. Therefore, keep it in your palace, so that if you travel anywhere, you will always return."
After the King died, his ghost returned and kept riding a ghostly horse through his palace. And omens brought Kæshroþrast to the palace, because he was needed there. When the ghost appeared, Kæshroþrast asked him, "Where did you put the talisman that I gave you?" And the ghost said, "I buried it beneath my throne, so that nobody could summon me again." And Kæshroþrast said to a guard, "Bring a spade and dig beneath the throne."
And Kæshroþrast took the talisman and struck it with his wand and said, "As I break the wax that binds the coin to the horseshoe, so I break the magic that binds you to the palace. You are free. Depart and have peace." And the King rode his horse from the palace and was not seen again.
