Critics Review
“Traditional Magic Spells for Protection and Healing presents fascinating source material of magical texts, until now, only known by specialists.”
“Traditional Magic Spells for Protection and Healing presents fascinating source material of magical texts, until now, only known by specialists.” * Bengt af Klintberg, Swedish folklorist and author *
“Claude Lecouteux’s work on the topic of ancient magic spells stands out as a refreshing reminder and example of what real scholarship should be and can be. The book is eminently researched and readable: it features a substantial introduction, chapters organized by topic, several appendices, an index, and a full bibliography. It is a must-read not only for the specialists of ancient magic and medicine but also for the general public.” * Jacques E. Merceron, professor emeritus of French at Indiana University, Bloomington *
