Though they refer to the ancient practice of writing spells and pacts in blood, Dragon’s Blood, Dove’s Blood, and Bat’s Blood ink are actually high-quality red pigments that contain no blood. They are used in Hoodoo and Witchcraft to inscribe magickal seals and talismans.
“Blood”-type inks are based on Cinnabar a natural resin that has been used for centuries as a pigment, varnish, and incense. These inks are imbued with the essences of various herbs and plants appropriate to the different types of workings.
聖化蝙蝠⾎及其它⾎墨 對⼀只蝙蝠念：Camac, Lamath, Omac, Cachac, Marbac, Glyac, Iamachar, Valmath, I adjure thee, ba t, by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and by all the words that are spoken of him, that thou serve us.

不難得出，主體框架是完全相同的，而所羅門省略了一大堆占星元素，而在末尾增加了一堆“XXX的實驗”（Experiment of XXX）也就暗示了它抄自與《Hygromenteia》而書中沒有提及過的東西統統列為“魔法實驗”，雖然雙方儀式結構一樣，但是內容上卻不一樣，因為所羅門多了個所羅門，以所羅門的名義摁了很多噱頭上去變成了一部《所羅門的鑰匙》，便以搶的市場和關注（老魔法師都是老營銷高手了）。從結構上我們已經理出來了一個可能性：
脈絡建立好了，我們看看Hygro甚至是PGM里，墨水是怎麽做的。见：[f. 49v] <An electional astrology passage concerning the position of the Moon in the Zodiac>
