As I wrote earlier in the general thread:-

Read Richard Kieckhefer's (1989) "Magic in the Middle Ages", chapter 4 
(p.56ff), particularly the section on "charms: prayers, blessings and 
abjurations" (p.69), etc. Intermixed cross signs were commonly found in all 
of them: "pax + pix + abyra + syth + samasic", etc.
