The article deals with the problem of biblical inclusions in Anglo-Saxon
charms, and analyzes onomastic vocabulary, prayers and liturgical inclusions in the
structure of the charms. The research material includes examples of the use of biblical
terms in Anglo-Saxon charms from the Grendon Collection. The author pays attention to
the analysis of the researchers’ views on the changes in the structure of the charms due
to the inclusion of Christian prayers and liturgical texts. The addressees, represented by
biblical characters, whose use of names may be related to the purpose of the charm and
its content, are singled out and described. It is established that both direct and indirect
addressing are used in charms, the latter being predominant and is represented by a
large number of characters depending on the purpose of the conspiracy. Special attention
is paid to the functionality of basic Christian prayers. The main content of the study
is the analysis of additional meanings that fragments of the Christian religion give to
the pagan in origin conspiracy-magic text. Based on the analysis of prayer inclusions
it is concluded that the function of prayers can be different depending on the content
of the conspiracy and ritual, but the common setting for all inclusions is the impact
on the actions performed and strengthening their effectiveness. Influence refers to the
sanctification and blessing of various ritual actions related to pagan practices. The
mixture of pagan and Christian ideas about miracles, belief in the supernatural powers
of prayer and legendary characters contributed to the integration of Christian practices
into pagan conspiracies. The methods of analysis, synthesis and generalization, as well
as the hypothetical-inductive method were used in conducting the research.
