A related word in Old English is gaest (ghost).

In fact, if you search for "geismich" in Google books, you will get no "geismich" but quite a number of "Geist mich".

But that's how OCR fails; a celtic word would hardly be combined with German.

Der Reim: Sie wussten das er viel ass (gäs = gegessen, von Essen)

wie die Würmer im Ass.

I think that's a valid interpretation, I have definitely seen "gas" as "gegessen" at Woerterbuchnetz, although cannot find the reference right now.

"as" here is "fleisch eines todten körpers" You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

I guess "vil gas" is "very soon" here (very soon will become food for the worms). But I haven't read the whole sentence to understand the context. The footnote says "vil gas (= gahes) - 'paulo post" (I can't understand what "'paulo post" is)

So take the spell "mich o" and "mich o" simply refers back to "michiton olodabas".

That's a novel turn! Very interesting idea!
