["Read, James C" <K0434995 AT kingston.ac.uk>]

Could you direct me to some useful texts in this regard? It is 
something of interest to me.

any language.



Not necessarily.  Review some texts on the poetry of Biblical  Hebrew.  Many 
scholars conclude that stresses, not syllables, are the basis  of rhythm in 
Biblical Hebrew.

You are clearly mistaken from a purely historical point of view.  You
should read Marvin Meyer's Ancient Christian Magic.  Further, it is no
attack on the faith to tell the truth.  That for some people prayer is
"magical" is utterly indisputable.  Utterly.



And it was so for the Kabbalists, although "magic" has a bad connotation

They teach that the world was CREATED by G-d's "speech", and that
words and other utterances have great power to effect changes in the
spiritual worlds, and that G-d's various names have more power and
that is why we cannot pronounce them except in prayer, and that the
NAME OF NAMES has even MORE power - and -

THAT IS WHY NONE OF  YOU KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT!

No matter HOW LONG you play the game

Shabbat Shalom

Shoshanna
