To bind the spell every time Let the spell be spake in rhyme.
Rhymes are easier to remember. Also if you speak the spell it gives your mundane self something to do while your magickal self performs the spell. ~ Luna
Blatant plagerism here but it's the basics of what I've always heard: "Witches speak their spell in rhyme because it gives the conscious mind something to do. While your conscious mind is busy listening to the words, your unconscious can tap into your energy and the energy of the God and Goddess - and magick is done." hehe Complete Idiot's Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft great book for a comprehensive explaination and begining guide to the craft :) ~ Serpent Song
