In this deluxe boxed set are three outstanding examples of Lecouteux’s masterful scholarship, each in a deluxe hardcover edition housed in a collector’s slipcase. In Dictionary of Ancient Magic Words and Spells, Lecouteux analyzes more than 7,000 spells from the magical traditions and grimoires of Europe, presenting a comprehensive dictionary of magic words, phrases, and alphabets. In Traditional Magic Spells for Protection and Healing, he shares more than 600 magical prescriptions from both pagan and Christian sources from the last 2,000 years. He provides an in-depth look at protection magic, including healing spells from rare texts and from the heavily guarded gypsy (Rom) tradition. In The High Magic of Talismans and Amulets, he provides a comprehensive history of the use of talismans and amulets for protection, healing, and divine influence. He reviews many different kinds of amulets and talismans used throughout the ages, such as a rabbit’s foot, horseshoe, gris-gris bag, and inscribed parchment charged through ritual, detailing the magical principles behind each object and showing that their use is still as widespread today as any time in the past.
