Ancient Crafts...

[Sastual Auxels]

Hi I am more magnetized or drawn toward the ancient ways and old paganism than the neo stuff and was wondering if anyone has some 800yr old or very old spells or leys for me, anything would be helpful.
Thank you all kindly
Blessings

thank you for contributing but I'm more after ancient Norse and Celtic Spells but thank you eitherway

There truly aren't any 800 year old spells lingering around. The oldest spells lingering around are ones that people claim to be old, but are never. Thanks to the Christians, no written knowledge of any spells survived, especially from Celtic countries. Spells were passed down by word of mouth and when that knowledge became a death sentence, people stopped sharing it with their children. This is unfortunate, because I know that all of us would love to have a nice selection of ancient spells, but alas, it will never happen.

Ah, but that's what is thought. I know, I loath the Christians for that too but I do however doubt that us pagans would stop passing on spells to our children, atleast not all of us, we are stong and I KNOW we were strong enough to keep our beliefs otherwise we wouldn't know what Paganism was so there must have been some of us who held onto some of our spells, surely.
The hard thing is however, most families who did hold onto their spells are very resricting on who knows their spells.

A lot of Christian 'traditions' were the original Pagan beliefs, passed down and transformed to get people to conform. Eating 'the body of christ' and drinking 'the blood of christ' was actually a Pagan tradition, normally held on Lammas to thank the God who sacrificed himself for the crops. Its spells like that that mainly passed on, there are some spell crafters whose knowledge passed on, but those spell books are hard to come across and when you do, you are genuinely lucky. I have looked and looked (I lived with a Wiccan family and the mother was looking for a 'blue penis spell' which is in some old spell book.)

A lot of the spells on the internet claim to be ancient, but they arent. I suggest books by Agrippa, those seem to be the oldest that I can find.

yeah I know but generally it was Catholicism that held the most pagan traditions as it was created as a half way point between paganism and Christianity, the worship of a woman (not a goddess but still a woman, Mary) was only accepted after the riots at Ephesus in the early 1st Century AD. I know I wasn't likely to be given any ancient spells but I know they were generally the most accurate and most powerful as they were created in the time without christianity and other influences etc.
I just have alot of doubt over spells created by wiccans or neo-pagans as they are created by themselves, I need spells that work and don't rely on cooincidence.

It's called writing them yourself. Spells don't work because they're old, the work because the person doing them has the ability. It doesn't matter how old they are, who wrote them or from what religion they're from, it's all about the person. If you know how to do spellwork, are true practitioner of witchcraft, you don't need any grimoires or anything other than your will, intent and some instinct.
