The people of the medieval Anglo-Saxon period were a folk in transition, embracing Christianity while still living in the shadow of their former Pagan religions. That balance of ambivalence came through most clearly in the practice of folk magic documented in many of the early herbals and other early books. Tchipakkan has put together an array of examples that show the diversity and ingenuity of magical practice in those transitional centuries, with charms in both the original Anglo-Saxon and in modern English translation.
This is a very brief overview of magick as it was used in by the Anglo-Saxons including both heathen and Christian periods. It is written from the perspective that magick is real, and covers context, types of magick, terminology, characteristic of charms, legality, elements of spells, and sources, as well as examples of Anglo-Saxon spells.
