Latin Words and Phrases to Enhance your Wishes
Sometimes you want that special word or phrase which demonstrates the importance and severity of your wish. I am not here to tell you how your spell/wish should be done, But as a guide I can take some of the mystery, confusion and even that eliteness associated with magic. In the days of ancient magic Latin was the spoken language of the day... Now you may (should) prefer to use your native tounge. But on occasion it is helpful to finish with a word or phrase which relates and describe your wish.

I will put some links at the bottom of the page incase you are not able to find what you need here... So go forth and.... SEIZE THE DAY...CARPE DIEM

Remember this is refining and honing down of how to honour your spirit and bring forth you dreams, the lengths you choose to go to will reaffirm and bring forward the desires with more intensity. But be careful not to take it to far, life should enjoyed, celebrated, and lived !!!! Exigua pars est vitae quam nos
