As a matter of fact, yeah. I just so happened to have the Tristan and Iseult Cd in my car stereo (great CD, everyone, support your local musician!) I'm a regular as part of the audience in the local music scene here, and got to talking to the physicist who is a guitar player/songwriter with a strong inclination toward Celtic music. I ran into him last night and said "You should hear this great CD I just got from a friend on the Internet!" So we walk out to my car and I turn on the CD player and it starts up at that incantation piece. My friend is very taken by it and we listen to the entire song before sauntering back in to the open mike we'd both been at.
He's going through a nasty divorce and I have my issues with the ax murderer, so we get to talking about these things and anger and etc., etc.
I said to him that it seemed to me that it might be a harmless way to release some anger by just going off by yourself somewhere and putting a sort of spell on the person who had harmed you by wishing for them to get what they gave - no more and no less. I said that since I didn't really believe that I had any special magic powers and that I was only asking that the person get whatever was karmicly their just due - be it wonderful or awful - I saw no problem in such an act.
That's when my friend warned me about black magic and casting evil spells and how it always came back and got a person in the end as proved by string theory. Naturally, my curiosity really became aroused then, hence my question.
