Hi everyone, I am from the states. I have started to learn Latin because I would love to be able to at least roughly understand ancient occult books written in Latin, since all the good manuscripts have not been translated so knowing Latin would be greatly helpful. I practice ceremonial magic and other esoteric arts and i’m currently working with the mansions of the moon for something personal (and kind of controversial). I have an upcoming ritual where I plan to make a talisman and I would like to attempt for the first time to actually engrave it in latin instead of english.
I am not expecting anyone to translate a bunch of things for me because I actually want to learn how to do it so if I could get feedback or correction on what I have come up with, and whether I chose the correct word for my intended meaning, it would mean a lot to me.
So i’m engraving the talisman to cause the destruction and separation of a relationship between two people. I know, it sounds bad. It’s a complicated story. I had to obviously tell you the context though, so when you see the words I chose you can tell me if they are even in the correct context.
I didn’t google translate the words, I actually downloaded some etymological dictionaries for Latin to english and went through every single meaning for each word I wanted to use until I found the word that best represented what I was trying to say. From there, I conjugated the verbs using the present active imperative 2nd person singular, I think this is correct because when I engrave the talisman I would be writing in the form of a petition or prayer to a planet and whatnot. So it would be kind of like saying “mars, destroy and terminate their relationship permanently”.
For example, I want to use the word Deleo for the act of destruction and ruin. After conjugating it the correct form would be dele, is this correct? With accent line over both the e’s.
Here are the other ones I came up with (I accented them in the proper place but don’t know how to do that on here):
Disjungo (verb) which I conjugated to disjunge which should mean to separate, divide, part, disjoin.
Perimo (verb) would conjugate to perime, and should mean to take away entirely, to cut off, extinguish, annihalate.
Affectus (noun) I would have to use the plural genative neutral form of it…I think…because it’s THEIR love, so I ended up with affectum. Or would eorum affectus be more logical?
Creo (verb) which I conjugate to Crea,meaning to bring, produce, make, create, cause.
Pugnacitatis meaning the desire to fight and hostility.
And then the most confusing for me was the actual word “relationship” because in the dictionaries it seems like conjunctio (noun) would be most accurate because it means connection, union, relationship in general. But then when I tried searching on the internet everywhere else was translating “relationship” as Necessitudo and eorum necessitudo for “their relationship”, So did I choose the wrong word or the wrong context for using conjunctio?
Thank you in advance for any tips and help you can give me! I apologize for such stupid questions, I tried very hard to do this on my own but I know I cannot learn unless I ask people who know more and are familiar with the language.
