The Atharvaveda is a collection of spells, charms and incantations aimed at healing and warding off evil influences. It also contains hymns and mantras related to deities like Agni, Indra, Varuna, and Prajapati. The Atharvaveda is the newest of the four Vedas, and unlike the others is considered more practical-oriented than philosophical.
