A charm to bind dogs

The sun enters Sagittarius on 22 November, and Hone quoted from Fosbroke a charm in a magical manuscript of the fourteenth century that gave that sign power over dogs. Anyone wishing to go where there were dogs without being hindered was to make a tin image of a dog with its head turned back towards its tail, under the first face of Sagittarius. Over it he said the words of binding, and the dogs would neither lift their heads nor bark.
