iimperatorsupremus:~Latin for Witches (and a Spell in Latin)~Lesson I – IntroductionWe all loveLatin. Latin is a majestic, beautiful and undoubtely melodic language. It’sbased on Ancient Greek and it has been used for magical purposes for centuries.Lots of witches up to this very dayuse it for their magical workings, spellwork, rituals, incantations, etc.As we all know all romance languages (spanish, romanian, portuguese, french,italian, etc) originate from Latin, so if you happen to be a native speaker ofone of the above languages, Latin is going to be a piece of cake for you.However, even if your mother tongue IS English, Latin is going to be fairlyeasy for you, too, so GOOD NEWS HERE.In fact, most english words originate from Latin, and some of them areprecisely the same in english (words like status, ego, etc). But let’s cut tothe chase, shall we?We all knowthere’s something special, somethingmajestic, something mystical, somethingmysterious about this language. Soit’s no coincidence that people have been using Latin for their magical workingsfor so long. If you’re someone who does not practice Magick, you, too, arewelcome to join us and learn Latin. If you’re someone who does practice Magick,you’re at the right place, because we will start from the very basics, and wewill be crafting up spells in Latin from the very first lesson. SAY YES IF YOULOVE THAT !YES, you read that right. So, let’s START at once and have some FUN!OK. I donot like rambling so simple things first. In Latinthere are no articles whatsoever. So, no articles.In Latin,the genders are three, masculine, feminine and neuter. Keep that it mind. Wewill not be focusing on grammar here so I won’t be boring you with it. But justkeep that it mind for now but do not memorise anything. Right… ~SECRET TIPS AND TRICKS~ (Again, do notmemorise anything. Just read, practice and have FUN since very soon you will beable to give your spells a very special and sophisticated… flavour.)The Letter E is ALWAYS pronounced ‘EH’ as in TELLThe Letter C is always pronounced K as in crazy,crisp, cool NEVER like cease, cemetary.The Letter I is always pronounced EE as in SIT,never like kite, spike.The Letter G is always pronounced G as in great,garbage, never like gem, gibberishALL the other letters are pronounced exactlythe same we pronounce them in English. SO, that’s easy to remember.The verybasics now: Let’s start:Ego = I(pronounced EH-goh)Tu = You(singular) (TOO)Ille = He (EE-leh)Nos = We (NOHS)Vos = You(VOHS) Now theverb to be… which is:Ego sum(EH-goh SOOM) = I am | Ego sum Jason = I am JasonTu es (TOO –EHS) = You are (sing.)

You do not need to have the pronouns with the verb forms. You can say sum, es, est, and so on, without saying ego, tu, ille, and so on, along with those verb forms. The pronouns are included with those verb forms when you really want or need to make the point of indicating the referent: sum, “I am,” but ego sum, “I am.” The i in prosperitas can be described as “‘ee’ as in tee-hee,” but its sound is shorter than that and some might hear it as the i in hit. Vowel length in Latin is not like vowel length in English, and describing the former can be difficult to do with English phonetics. Venite is an imperative form for when you are specifically addressing more than one person. If you are addressing one person, or if your command is a general one and you have no one in particular in mind, you use the singular form: veni. When it comes to imperatives, plurality in Latin does not indicate generality, politeness, etc. Dives is an adjective that means “rich” or “wealthy.” Divitiae (morphologically plural) is a noun that means “riches” or “wealth.” They are not interchangeable.Utinam hoc tibi prosit! -- source link
