3 Charms of Albertus Magnus

IF A HUMAN BEING OR ANIMAL IS BEING ATTACKED BY EVIL SPIRITS, HOW TO RESTORE THEM AND MAKE THEM WELL AGAIN:

Thou arch-sorcerer, thou hast attacked (name of person); let that witchcraft recede from him into thy marrow and into thy bone, let it be returned unto thee. I exorcize thee for the sake of the five wounds of Jesus, thou evil spirit, and conjure thee for the five wounds of Jesus of this flesh, marrow and bone. I exorcize thee for the sake of five wounds of Jesus, at this very hour restore to health again N.N, in the name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (said three times)

*As general practice, I do invoke God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit by way of the Cross and so can recommend this same usage by signing the cross over the person or anointing their head with holy oil, rowan ash, holy ash or the ash of an appropriate psalm or prayer.

FOR FRESH WOUNDS

Fresh is the wound, blessed is the day, happy the hour I found soon to stop and arrest thee so that thou will neither swell nor fester until mountains meet +++ (+ signifies the point on which the person signs the cross over the wound)

A REMEDY FOR COUGHS

When cherries are in season, dry the stems of black cherries between two sheets of paper (to prevent them from becoming dusty) and save them in a (paper) box. Draw tea therefrom, for every drawing use four saucers worth of water and as many stems as can be taken between three fingers (assuming it is the thumb and the index and middle). Boil it like any other tea and drink until the cough stops. (it is said that even the most violent cough can be cured by this remedy)

FOR A PUTRID MOUTH

Take blackberry leaves that have been boiled in water and wine, put a little alum to it. A mouth that is rinsed therewith will have a good effect.

(Extra note: I’d like to say that the same remedy, excepting the alum addition, was prescribed in Gemma Gary’s Black Toad. It’s primary usage was to aid in cankers in the mouth. Research was done on alum to find out that it was fairly non-toxic and had a significant reduction of plaque and gingivitis. I’d still take precautions of adding a proportional amount of alum to the mixture.)
