Charming Language

Open Sesame.  Ala Kazam.  An incantation.  Casting a spell.  A strong curse.  Abracadabra!*  Throwing a hex.  There's a reason that magic spells employ rhyme and rhythm. 

I dare you not to get goosebumps from this YouTube video of Robin Robertson. 
Happy National Poetry Month.


*Bonus factiod: "Abracadabra" can be translated to "As spoken so it shall pass."  And that's magic.

Thank you for introducing me to this one! I have listened (and watched) half a dozen or more times, and it raises goosebumps every time he says, "relaxing them, one by one, with a small knife." gah!

PS. Notice how MTT above picked up on Mr. Robertson's -- um --charge?
