Voicing or verbalizing is fundamental to witchcraft. The crystallization of ideas into words is the step between pure concept, or “The Void,” and actualization. Focus is a necessary trait for magick working, as one defines intentions surrounding co-creative outcomes, and language is as necessary as visualization in this process.

Sound and communication make witnessing possible, which is an internal and external catalyst for magick. Stating ideas, beseechments or commands at a time in space creates a vibration with a pond-like ripple effect, affecting all further consequences. Having others witness our words as co-creational energy is one of the strengths to group work because the expectation level is raised. Humans have always been brought to new heights as increased expectations occurred.

Some words themselves are considered to be power words when voiced. Examples of this could be Divinity names. Numerous mystery traditions include this element including Egyptian and Jewish. The words and voicing are also ways to evoke emotion, a powerhouse of increased vibration. Languaging techniques and emotive words can shift enormous events and beliefs. Skillfully used words comprise spells, prayers, invocations and other devices of witchcraft. Techniques such as meter and rhyme give the embellishments to voicing that the subconscious enjoys. Voicing is also the medium of channeling. Rituals are directed with words as well as Rites of Passage and other ceremonies.
