Christopher examines the idea of a spell as being related to the idea of spelling, clearly written or spoken communication with the universe. It is in that vein that he explores the power of communicating your spell clearly to the universe. He dives into the power of the written word in petition spells and magickal scripts as well as the power of the spoken word of incantations, evocations, prayers, arcane tongues and barbarous words.
