The Old Magic of Names: The Ancient Power of True Names, Hidden Names, Fairy Names, Demon Names, and Curse Names

What if a name was never just a word?Across old religions, fairy traditions, witchcraft, demonology, baptismal customs, and folk belief, names were treated as living things. A name could protect a child, summon a spirit, bind a demon, bless the dying, curse an enemy, mark a soul, or keep the dead from being forgotten. The Old Magic of Names uncovers the ancient belief that names carried force, identity, danger, and destiny.
