Treasure fires the imagination like little else. From ancient tales of Dragon-guarded hordes to modern hunters seeking riches using contemporary technology, the allure of hidden treasure has proven perennially powerful. Treasure has long been associated with magic: from the magical abilities of the treasure itself, the sorcery used to locate it and even criminal necromancy to bind and dispel it’s fearsome guardians. In this episode I explore the historical association of magic and treasure but also some of the sigils, incantations and spells used to discover lost riches!
