I was intrigued by the passage indicating to make the spells work or be stronger, that they should rhyme. I have a true aversion to poetry that rhymes. Day to day stuff. It makes sense for songs to rhyme. So maybe songs have a truer connection to spells than the written word, though that should seem obvious. Somehow I feel like when I write poems, that the meaning is less severe if it rhymes. However, if I were to try to cast a spell, rhyming would make the flow of word have a rhythmic pulse. I would think it would amplify the energy?

At risk of thread necrophilia, I just remembered this whilst looking for something else. It reminds me of the late Terry Pratchett' suggestion that
'spells only rhyme so that witches can remember them'. There's a certain truth to that, in that: While we were apart for long periods, I wrote a verse version of our 'sacred marriage' meditation, because my wife was having problems with the prose version over the 'phone. but: Actually it's not as good. Not as powerful. But it works over the 'phone, which the other does not, because the rhymes mark the entry points better. blessings ffetcher

Does it help witches to have their cans hanging out?
