This boxed set brings together three works by Claude Lecouteux, each examining a different part of European magic: words and spells, protective and healing prescriptions, and talismans and amulets. The material ranges across pagan and Christian sources and spans traditions from the Middle Ages to the present. One volume organizes more than 7,000 spells, while another gathers over 600 prescriptions; the third traces the history and uses of protective objects. Together, the books offer a source-rich survey of magical practices and objects, presented in hardcover editions within a collector’s slipcase.

Book overview

A deluxe boxed set of three scholarly works on magic by professor Claude Lecouteux

- Contains hardcover editions of Dictionary of Ancient Magic Words and Spells, Traditional Magic Spells for Protection and Healing, and The High Magic of Talismans and Amulets in a collector's slipcase

- Analyzes more than 7,000 spells from the magical traditions of Europe and provides a comprehensive history of the use of talismans and amulets from the Middle Ages to today

Through meticulous study of his private collection of medieval manuscripts as well as his privileged access to the rare book archives of major European universities, Claude Lecouteux has become renowned in esoteric academic circles for his in-depth examinations of the myths and magical practices of the Middle Ages. 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.
