A series of magical or special words chanted to create a magical effect, like a spell or enchantment.
From Latin 'incantatio' (enchantment), combining 'in-' (into) and 'cantare' (to sing). Originally referred to singing spells or charms, which was believed to have magical power.
Many languages had incantations with repeating sounds because chanting rhythmically actually changes your brain waves and breathing—so ancient people discovered something neuroscientists confirm today: rhythm genuinely affects your mind!
