Please note that my grasp of the intricacies of Old English grammar and sentence construction leaves a lot to be desired. Hence the incantations above are more of a literal translation and probably make no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually reads the language.
I put them together using the Old English Translator, which is absolutely brilliant – check it out here – and I shall update this post each and every time I use a new spell in my fanfiction
Neat! The Old English Translator is a cool find 🙂 I will share that link with my daughter.
