Nine Herbs Charm
Remember
Mugwort named the eldest of herbs
Remember with might against 3 and against 30
Might against venom
Might against flying
Against the loathsome beyond
Waybread, herb mother
Open to the east
Mighty within
Over thee carts creaked
Over thee queens rode
Brides cried out, bulls snorted
All you withstood and dashed against
Might against venom
Against flying
Against the loathsome beyond
Stune on stone waxes
Against venom
Against pain
Wreaked she the wrathful
Warps the venom
Betony the herb that with wyrm fought
Adder-loather
The more
The more
The lesser until cured
Might against venom
Might against flying
Might against the loathsome beyond
Remember Mayweed Alder-fjord earned
Flying given
Flying lost For ready food
Nettle
Unseal the venom
To others a cure
These nine have main
When wyrm came sneaking
Took up woden
Adder-slew into nine flew
There earned Apple
Banished from house
Chervil, fennel
Most mighty two
Shaped by drighten
Heaven-hung
Set and sent in seven
Wretched and wealthy
All a cure
Against pain
Against venom
Against 3 and 30
Against fiend hands
Against shape-shifting
Against maskering by wights
Prevail
Against foul smelling red
White, blue-grey
Yellow, green
Wan and woad
Brown and crimson
Wyrm-blister, water-blister
Thorn blister, thistle-blister
Frostbite and venom
East, north, south or west
Over the tribes of men
Where the river runs
There nine adders near
Attend
May all weeds from worts spring
Seas to slip away
All salt water
When I this venom from thee blow
Mix all with soap and apple gore
To dust with water-ash
Boil the fennel in the slop
And bathe with egg therein
Don the salve and incantate
Thrice ere you work and apple too
Sing into the mouth and ears
And wound to heal
Mugwort named the eldest of herbs
Remember with might against 3 and against 30
Might against venom
Might against flying
Against the loathsome beyond
Waybread, herb mother
Open to the east
Mighty within
Over thee carts creaked
Over thee queens rode
Brides cried out, bulls snorted
All you withstood and dashed against
Might against venom
Against flying
Against the loathsome beyond
Stune on stone waxes
Against venom
Against pain
Wreaked she the wrathful
Warps the venom
Betony the herb that with wyrm fought
Adder-loather
The more
The more
The lesser until cured
Might against venom
Might against flying
Might against the loathsome beyond
