4732. [4734] CONCERNING THE HELLS, AND CONCERNING THE BASILISK. Among many hells, there is also a certain one, forwards to the left, quite deep, where are such as are skilled in the art of enticing, and, as it were, attracting other spirits to themselves; and this by many arts, so that the spirits are unable to resist: and when they are thus attracted thither, they cast them into their hell and ill-treat them; and, if they are unable to do this, they drive them to something criminal, so that they may condemn the. They are quite dangerous; wherefore, such spirits are not let out. A certain one of them betook himself to the mouth of another hell, and attempted this with me. It almost seemed to me that I wished to go thither; but I was restrained by the Lord, and that spirit was grievously punished. They are such as are signified, as I think, by basilisks.
