This is very interesting! I started learning Italian on an app on my phone 3 weeks ago and I LOVE IT! I’m GOING to figure out a way to connect the Italian language with my spell work!

@Janae_Rochele thats awesome! I’m so happy for you. I wish I could remember more of it. I haven’t used it since i was close to 10 years old. I do remember that in someways, my Grandmother could help me with my Spanish homework because word meanings & sounds were similar.
You could do a home or cooking protection chant, spell, or other type of intention setting wrottwn or spoken in Italian!

FYI - Latin is the language which Italian evolved from. Latin is a dead language, in that it is no longer a spoken language. Inevitably, variations happen, as in Aramaic and Greek. Translations from one to the other are possible with some small differences in interpretation. Greek translations of the Virgin, identify Mary. Aramaic’s actual meaning was a good or a virtuous woman.
Just saying.
BUT! The idea of Italian translation for your spells is excellent!
Bright Blessings

I was going to sit this challenge out because I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed. Lol! But then I remembered that I had gotten a set of witches runes a while back and have never used them. So, I watched a YouTube video and found some interesting information. I got this info from fumsmusings channel.

I felt called to write a bit of the Charge of the Goddess in Python, the forum having fancy highlighting for it and all 
I hope you enjoy it, I did when I wrote it 
from within import Artemis, Astarte, Diana, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Dana, Arianrhod, Isis, Brig, ... as Great_Mother
if ye.has_need:
while moon.is_full:
group = [witch for witch in ye.coven if witch.is_thirsting_for_secrets]
with group.assemble() in secret_place as one:
rite = one.adore(Great_Mother as "Queen of all Witcheries")
with rite.execute_clothes_optional() as freedom:
joy = freedom.express(dance, sing, feast, make_music, make_love)
joy.attribute_to(Great_Mother)
With Latin I got as far as finishing the Duolingo course, which was pretty short. I can understand quite a bit already, but making sentences still has me looking up every second word. I have this book on my wishlist, I really like the approach of absorbing the language while reading. I love learning languages, but the wordlists and endless grammar lessons bore me out of my mind 
I feel blessed with so much love and abundance, at least right now it doesn’t extend to my finances though so we’ll see. Plenty of change in the air there, but I know better than to try to force it. To keep a joyful and relaxed attitude and invite the right energies I’ve been singing my praises to Sri Lakshmi in her native tongue 
Lots of love and magick to you and yours

Although I can do some spells in English it feels easier if I translate them in Greek or if I say affirmathions or prayers in greek since i am a native speaker. The words come out easier and I feel more confident about my work. Lately I have been searching the Orphic Hymns and I try to learn the one for Aphrodite in Ancient Greek. And I have plans to do so for Ares and Hestia in the future.

Im Spanish, so all the spells anf affirmations I make are in Spanish. I would like to share the afformation I say every morning, and I will try to do my best to translate to English.
Madre, que las alas de la fortuna vengan a mí,
Bendíceme hoy, que la negatividad no me afecte
Saldrá todo como yo decrete,
El amor, la luz, que no me falte.
Así lo decreto, ¡que así sea!
Mother, may the wings of fortune comes to me
Bless me today, Don’t let negativity affect me
Everything will be as I decrete
Love and light won’t be missed
I decrete so, so mote it be!

Each day I “draw” a rune using my Moonly app, I read the description below the rune, and then find it in the Rune Course. Here are the runes I have drawn so far.
9 Likes
Was that a draw itself or a rune a day?
Isa, Gebo, Algiz, Othala, & Uruz have posts in the Runes Information post too.
My son has a blanket that has a circle made up of the Algiz rune in the center. I forget what’s in the middle though.
The runic alphabet is very interesting & seeing it used as an alphabet as oppose to divination is really exciting too. I notice them now in movies, shows, signs… things like that.

Challenge Entry - Multilingual Magick
As is usual for me, my weekend is a busy, tiring blur and it isn’t until the end of the day Monday that I realize… oh no! I didn’t get around to completing my challenge. 
Ogham, the Irish tree language, captured my attention right from the beginning when reading this challenge but I didn’t know what I wanted to do for the challenge. Fast forward to the night before the challenge is due (last minute, anyone? 
), it hits me! I want to make my own ogham staves. Thankfully I have a million popsicle sticks in the “junk” drawer for who knows what reason so I printed out the symbols and started working on creating! I will put more time into carving and coloring them tomorrow morning but I wanted to submit what I have started and post finished pictures tomorrow!
I also did look up my name in the Ogham Transliterator
and copied both my full name and the name I use into my commonplace magick book. I really like my name - I think it looks like a key!

Weekly Witchy Challenge- Multilingual Magick
For the challenge this week I did some studying and listened to an Audible book called Icelandic Magic, Practical Secrets of the Northern Grimoires by Stephen E. Flowers Ph.D.
It had a pdf with it and I was so excited when it showed some spells in the old language and in current English. This is all I could manage this week. It is a really cool book. I wish I had the entire hard copy. It also explained the SATOR square and had it in runes.

Hello everyone!
I’ve missed a couple challenges due to commitments ( traveled to Salem too!) and I’m finally back in the swing of things again. Yay!
I have chosen to study the Elder Futhark runic alphabet symbols and created my own set.
I’ve been studying the Spells8 course on Casting Runes and am almost finished.
Interesting stuff! I’m giving it a try!
I’ve had some oak rounds from crafting sitting in a drawer and decided to use those for my runes and put them in a handy dandy moon bag for now.
Thanks for the interesting challenge and I’ll complete my course and see how these fit into my craft!
Blessed be!

I found this really intersting story “Dolores Cannon” spoke about the Dead Sea 
scrolls she said she put this young girl 
under hypnosis and did past life regression!
[The Dead Sea Scrolls ](https://Dolores Cannon does past life regression! )
We can actually see that the Dead Sea scrolls
[Dead Sea Scrolls ](https://Dead Sea Scrolls )
I found it really interesting that Jesus was a mystic! It’s really interesting that she puts people through hypnosis and this one lady gave her lots of information from her past life! Around that time many believed in reincarnation and I think it’s interesting how the Roman’s changed the Dead Sea scrolls and this is the proof right here!
If you want you can see!
For me I wanted to go over some of the tarot cause I feel the tarot is a language in its self.
I read out of a book called PapusnThe Tarot of Bohemian And I think it’s very interesting the Kabbalah the sacred word Yod-He-Vau-He
Because I love the Tarot I always want to know the meaning behind it

Also some symbols, correspondences and Greek Names
I did some other energy work and worked with the language of the tarot for example in the book Tarot Constellations
bye Mary GreerShe states you can spell out your name so I did I did my Witch name and my real name.
You should try it!
Another thing is that I am working with planetary magic which is a different language in its self! Here’s a video of the book I have
[Language of planets ](https://Planetary Magic Boom Review )
I worked with Murcury I went to https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/calculate-traditional-chart/?narozeni_den=15&narozeni_mesic=8&narozeni_rok=2022&narozeni_hodina=&narozeni_minuta=&narozeni_mesto_hidden=Citrus%20Heights&narozeni_stat_hidden=US&narozeni_podstat_kratky_hidden=CA&narozeni_city=Citrus%20Heights,%20USA,%20California&narozeni_sirka_stupne=38&narozeni_sirka_minuty=42&narozeni_sirka_smer=0&narozeni_delka_stupne=121&narozeni_delka_minuty=17&narozeni_delka_smer=1&narozeni_timezone_form=auto&narozeni_timezone_dst_form=auto&house_system=placidus&hid_fortune=&hid_fortune_check=on&hid_spirit=&hid_spirit_check=on&hid_syzygy=&hid_syzygy_check=on&hid_vertex=&hid_vertex_check=on&hid_chiron=&hid_chiron_check=on&hid_lilith=&hid_lilith_check=on&hid_uzel=&hid_uzel_check=on&&narozeni_hodina=19&narozeni_minuta=59&narozeni_sekunda=36&house_system=whole

Hi everyone - I’m terribly sick with chemo side effects and taking things one day at a time right now, I’ll give everyone an update over on Positive Energy for Diagnosis & Treatment
Challenge Entry for Multilingual Witchcraft:
I am exploring Hoodoo this month and decided to use this as my challenge ritual, & also as the book I’m reading for the new book club. Hoodoo is a system of folk spiritual practices and magic and will often incorporate the practitioner’s own religion, or vice versa - incorporate Hoodoo into their respective religion. Hoodoo grew up in the USA in the shadow of the larger culture of Christianity. This American created form of magic adjusts and adapts itself to the larger culture around it–absorbing what its practioners can and want to use. Hence, in areas where Christian Catholicism was dominant, practitioners often used Catholic prayers in their rituals and where Christian Protestantism was strong, bible verses, usually from the King James Version, are heavily used.
This way of sprouting and seeking a way to practice is often used in witchcraft practices across the world as a way to honor whatever your higher power is, be that the Christian god, Hecate, or the Great Horned One. Since hoodoo is a very personalized and adaptable practice a lot of people borrow scripture from any number of other paths. Hoodoo practitioners believe that whether you need something or somebody else does, the Lord has your back and will provide.
I chose to write and say/meditate to the Lord’s Prayer in Creole this week as my challenge outcome - I listened to many versions of it on YouTube, tried to do a new one each day:
The Lord’s Prayer in Creole
Nòtrepè a an Kreyòl
Papa nou ki nan syèl la,
Nou mande pou yo toujou respekte non ou.
Vin tabli gouvènman ou,
pou yo fè volonte ou sou latè, tankou yo fè li nan syèl la.
Pen nou bezwen an, ban nou li jòdi a.
Padonnen tou sa nou fè ki mal,
menm jan nou padonnen moun ki fè nou mal.
Pa kite nou nan pozisyon pou nou tonbe nan tantasyon,
men, delivre nou anba Satan.
Paske, se pou ou tout otorite, tout pouvwa ak tout louwanj, depi tout tan ak pou tout tan.
Amèn.
Blessed be, enjoy!
