The Book of Protection: A Syriac Collection Of Anathemas, Incantations, Prayers, And Charms (Hardcover)

Unearthed from the ancient manuscripts of the Near East, The Book of Protection preserves one of the most formidable collections of charms, anathemas, and incantations ever recorded. Translated and published by Hermann Gollancz in the late 19th century, this work reveals the ritual formulas used for centuries to guard against demons, curses, and unseen powers.

Here are the whispered prayers of protection, the intricate spells and conjurations, and the ritual curses intended to bind or banish evil spirits. Drawn from Syriac Christian magical tradition, these texts fuse sacred scripture with occult practice, embodying a world where faith and sorcery stood side by side in the struggle against darkness.

Far from mere folklore, The Book of Protection is a working grimoire of ancient Near Eastern magic—a manual of spiritual defense that still carries the weight of its dangerous heritage.
