An Arcane (Mysterious) Spell

Magic: Supernatural influence over the natural world.
Magic came from the word Magi.
Magi are Wisemen.
Wise words break/make (good) spells.

Deception is a spell of bondage to those who receive it.

Incantation/Spell: Words spoken to accomplish supernatural influence.
A good spell~~~~~~~A godspell~~~~~~~A gospel

Deep Magic
Four spell-breaking questions:
~ What do you mean by...?
~How do you know....?
~What difference does it make?
~What if you are wrong? (and you die?)

Spells form our:
Metaphysics (what is real)
Ethics (what is good)
Epistemology (what is true)
Aesthetics (what is beautiful)

Words have power!
Enchantment: To be under a spell/incantation
Casting spells: Speak well! Bless and curse not.
Breaking spells: Think well! Shatter pervasive, high and lofty imaginations.

Words kill, words give life;
they are either like a poison apple or an elixir (healing potion);
you will consume that which you love!
~Prov. 18:21

The right word at the right time is like a custom-made piece of jewelry…
~Prov. 25:11

Hoc est corpus meum ----> Hocus Pocus
Weirdly, the CC thought this meant ---> Cup = Body/Blood

For future reference:
If anyone sends slasher dragons to my lair for Halloween, which was done this past October, I will stop reading the second I sense danger and send them a FR version of the song, The Sound of Silence, originally penned and sung by Simon and Garfunkel. NO treats! ZERO! Just...

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was still living
And the vision that you planted in my brain
Still remains
Leaving the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a burnt out light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand dragons, maybe more
Dragons talking without speaking
Dragons hearing without listening
Dragons hearing words which do not share
The message dared
Produce the sound of silence

"Fools" said I
"You do not know, silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the lairs of silence

And the dragons bowed and prayed
To the darker god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the signs said
"The words of the prophets are written on the forum walls
And coliseum stalls
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence

Adapted from: The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon
