[Davidsch]

If the charm says “vinom purifier”, the entire line could read “vox leben vinom purifier”


A mix of English, Latin and German, typical for late Old English.
Something like: speak out loud, for life, this venom purifier.

A snake came crawling, it bit a man.
Then Woden took nine glory-twigs,
Smote the serpent so that it flew into nine parts.
There apple brought this pass against poison,
That she nevermore would enter her house
 

It is also probable that the Nine Herbs or Nine Herbs Charm, written mainly in Old English and Latin, are discussed elsewhere in the VMS, for example on the Rosette page.   But more about that on another page.
