“A century later we have another medical compendium, the Lacnunga, in which Greco-Roman magical medicine is combined with elements of Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, and Norse myth and ritual. Here too most of the content is medical. The recipes are often made effective by reciting incantations, usually in Latin, though also in apparently meaningless magical syllables such as Acre arcre arnem nona aernem beodor aernem nidren acrun cunad ele harassan fidine.”
