#1. I notice that the spells in the Harry Potter movies (yes yes I know....it's fiction) sound VERY "Latin based". Is there a reason for this?
#2. And this is a real pip (LOL)....can you actually USE the spells from the movie to perform magic? I mean magic comes from your whole person focusing on the intention. I know the words from the Harry Potter movies are just words. But if you can USE THEM to help FOCUS your intention better than anything else, might they not become useful for magic? Just asking is all. ;)

Any language can be used, the basis for wether it works or not is more based on your belief that they will work, I noticed something as well that may be disturbing to some but belief is not only flesh based, theres got to be an aspect of your higher self that also believes that your intention is in your best interest in alignment to a life goal or life path. If you can harness the power of belief then the language is less important, it may be more difficult having in the back of your mind that you know Harry Potter is fiction, it may stunt some belief. However… I try to keep in mind that when using languages there are words in English that denote a negative, “such as “week end” - “weak end” - “Morning” “Mourning” so whatever words you can use to avoid any negative connotations is what I suggest,
Everyone has their own flavor or beliefs but imo that is the way to go, after all … all languages are made up. It just seems English has more negative meanings.

My apologies… as for Latin.. a lot of English is from Latin etymology, especially scientific words where Latin is still used. it just gives it more flare
