How To Do Celtic Magic

Gone Medieval

What's the best cure for a hangover? What's the most effective way to curse your enemies? How do you keep demonic powers at bay?

The medieval Celtic world was filled with magic which became absorbed and restructured within a Christian worldview, as saints, prayers, and sacred objects replaced earlier supernatural beings, incantations, charms and talismans. 

Dr. Eleanor Janega is joined by Dr. Brigid Ehrmantraut to find out how people in the medieval Celtic world coherently integrated magic into their daily lives.
