How Latin Became The Language of Magic

Описание: Latin is associated with dark academia, the Catholic Church, elite education, the Romance languages in Europe & Latin America, premodern history.... and magic. But why? Why do blockbuster series - like Charmed, Harry Potter, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer - have spells inspired by Latin? Well, as Madeleine argues, this has to do with the Middle Ages and the way Latin was used. Beyond being the language of emperors, poets, and kings, Latin was also the lingua franca of angels, demons, and man.

Latin is surely the language of magic - but why?

I highly recommend the channel ‪@polyMATHY_Luke‬ for all your Latin learning needs!
