Odin's Indo-European horse-healing magic spell

In this video I will show how the 2nd Merseberg charm, a magic spell from medieval Germany, proves that ancient Indo-Europeans also had special magical spells to keep their horses alive - by healing them. The examples I give come from a 19th century Swedish spell, an Irish spell from 1938 recorded in the archives of the folklore dept. at UCD, the second battle of Maige Tuired, and Book 4/12 of the Atharva-Veda.

I also look at how the Norse used horses for black magic too - namely the níðstang or shame pole which requires a severed horse's head.
