I have my results from the neurologist: Everything is normal!

The only thing that way even minor sketchy was that one of the disks in my neck was shaped a little funny, so it was every-so-slightly flattening my spinal cord.

So while it sucks that I don't have a diagnosis, it's better than having a degenerative neurological disorder. Right now the only thing is bothering me right now is word recall: mostly relating to food things like "carrot" and "marinara sauce."

Yesterday I checked out a book on Anglo-Saxon magic. It's exactly the sort of book I'd been looking for on region/magic in the British Isles: a book saying what people during a ceriten period did, or thought-out conjectures that's based on archaeological sources and more-or-less first hand sources.

Though there is a occasional snigger when it comes to some of the charms. There's a few where the writer mentions how obvious it is that the enchanter swapped out verbal references to a pagan god to Jesus. I say pagen, since as long as the enchanter got the results they were looking for they'd borrow from anywhere so it would be hard to pin it down to just one pantheon: Roman, Greek, Hindu, Arabian, Jewish, ect.

It's also interesting from an lingustic perspective, because there's a very time-lapse photography feel to it with the enchantments running from Old High German to Middle English.
