I examine whether eros is described as a disease to be inflicted on the erotic victim, looking at the bodily and psychological symptoms of the erotic passion as described in the erotic and separation spells. Another issue I am looking at is whether the spell is used as a torture and punishment to the eros victim. If so, how can the notions of torture and punishment be understood in relation to the intensions of the user and the aim of the erotic spell? Finally, I am arguing that the spells in these fictional erotic unions functioned as a way of reflecting the symptoms of eros from the user to the victim of the spell. Possible mystical allusions of the spells are also considered. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Symbolae Osloenses is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
