Magic in early medieval Ireland

OʼSullivan, Aidan, “Magic in early medieval Ireland”, Ulster Journal of Archaeology 74 (2017–2018): 107–117.  

abstract:

People in early medieval Ireland, as elsewhere, would have tried to protect their families, their property, and their animals from disease, accidents and witchcraft, through the use of magic and customary practices based on folk beliefs, as well as through the intercession of the saints and the church. This paper explores some potential archaeological evidence for the use of magic in early medieval Ireland.
