Ancient White Magic: A Guide for Witches & Wizards

by Paul Nicholas Mason

The manuscript from which this translation was prepared is a photocopy of a hand-copy of a text that has been copied and re-copied over the course of centuries. It is almost certain that changes have been made to the original Anglo Saxon, in both syntax and vocabulary, but those who know something about these things assure me that the spells retain their potency. I can only attest that the message and tone of the text are astonishingly humane and generous-spirited to have emerged out of what we sometimes call the Dark Ages.
