So, Super!Student never came back.

I seem to have taken the lesson that it's ok to be less than perfect entirely too much to heart. Welcome to my first entirely last-minute essay. (Well, except for that one in first year where I spent two weeks analysing functional grammar only to realise on the morning it was due that I'd analysed a scene we were specifically forbidden to analyse, and re-did it all in four hours.)

Mkay. This is a 4000 word essay for Devious' Medieval Cosmology course. It is due on thursday. It is now the wee hours of wednesday. This must be a SUPERSWIFT ESSAY.

What: Anglo-Saxon Charms.
Why: um... the actual reason is that i didn't follow much of Devious' course at all, and so decided the best thing to do would be to get my essays as far out of his time period and field as possible.
From what perspective: ( principles of medieval magic )

Medieval magic is a crossing-point where religion converges with science, popular beliefs intersect with those of the educated classes, and the conventions of fiction meet with the realities of everyday life. (Kiekheffer)
Can this thesis, designed for a study of primarily high medieval texts, be used to understand Anglo-Saxon charm practices?

What can we say about that:

( yay, i can has essay now )
