The links to the left lead to incantations, spells, amulets, etc from historical sources.  Some of them may be cross listed elsewhere.

Please use caution with these rites.  These are from antiquity and may include the sacrifice of animals, bloodletting, and other such activities.  Do NOT harm another creature or even yourself for one of these rites.  It is always a good idea to read the history of such spells before attempting any of them.  Just because they are historical does not mean that they are effective.  If you do decide to attempt one, substitute the animal sacrifice with cakes or candies in the shape of the animal in question. 

Also be aware that many ingredients in historical spells and formulas aren't as simple as they appear.  In an ancient Invocation to Apollo (which I will provide in the future) calls for "wolf's eye"  The invocation comes from Egypt which has no wolves.  However, there is a plant named Wolf's Eye which is most likely what was meant.  Dr. Fritz Graf who explained this rite to us in class said that scholars were unsure what was meant another ingredient - 'wolf's head'.  I believe this may have been a fossil of some sort.  For instance, a 'horse's head' is actually a fossilized Myophorella [Trigonia] hudlestoni.  While I have not come across any information on a fossil who's folkloric name was 'wolf's head' my research in that area has just begun.  Please keep this kind of information in mind if you decide to perform any ancient rites.
