Ancient Tongues
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Much of the world's oldest magicks were in different languages.Celtic,Atlantian,Druidic,Setish,Germanic,
Toltec,etc.Language is an important part of magic.Do you think english can properly complete with these ancient tongues when invoking spells or performing sorceries?

Lonewolf,
The power of these ancient languages lies in the fact that they are not used. The prolific use of the english language renders its words useless. At any point in time while you are speaking there is at least one other person in the world saying the same exact word at the same time. How can your words have any power in these circumstances? They can't that's how. Older languages, such as Sanskrit (which is only really used for prayer and magic) have power, because the words are not used as much, or as widely known and understood. I hope this makes some sence to you.
p.s. I have been told that I speak dead languages in my sleep, although this phenomena has not yet allowed itself to be recorded.
