A charm to treat eye disease, recorded among the Volga Germans and translated into English by German Language Professor Karin James at the University of Manitoba;
(One interesting aspect of this charm is that it notes that the charm is to be performed on the half moon. This is mirrored in many literary references of Seidr charms. I wonder if they did their magic on the half moon because main religious events took place on the full moon? It always makes me smile when the fake wicca types make such a fuss over the full moon. In reality the full moon was more likely just a way to measure time. It may also be seen that the illness is sent away with the waxing or waining moon after the full moon has passed)
Three beautiful maidens Went walking through a forest. The first saw half the moon, The second saw half the day, The third blew the Fur from the eye.
