To Invoke — Headless Now — Prose Poetry — Moca McCarty Photo

To invoke:

it’s been said that some ancient languages, such as Sanskrit and Hebrew, vibrate as the very essence of that which they describe, and to use such language is to invoke the energy of the object and bring us to the same frequency of awareness. Sanskrit has been described by some linguist as the purest language, spiritual in context as it has a lightness to its sound, soft, vibrating almost beyond the realm of words. I’ve had some powerful experiences chanting Sanskrit, getting lost in the sound until there only seemed to be the vibration of the world, a pulse, and that I matched this quality with every particle of my being. My personal mantra is Sanskrit as well, devoid of specific meaning, and meant to lead me to the frequency of the universe that brought me from spirit to the manifest world, the vibration of the moment of my birth.

this is about magic, true and believable by virtue of experience.

certain language is magical, having the power to invoke emotion and spirit, to call forth the essence of an ethereal quality that defies ordinary description. That’s poetry, and I’ll use that word broadly here, not as an actual written form of art, but with a deeper meaning, vibrational, and that the world itself is poetry, everything, and only waits for the right words to match the energy of soul, to invoke the essence of the world through language.
