Chango Mystique: Chango summons a great change. "Magical words are necessary for things to change. The chant and incantation must be said for the magic to happen. Potential is released through the initiation of vibration that can be felt with the whole body. . . . Vibration is both inside and out; everywhere. It is acausal. It is always there though sometimes too low to hear. The horns of the Tibetan lamas, the bells and fish knockers of Buddhists, the bells of cathedrals, and the call to pray from minarets; all of these disturb the cosmic silence announcing human being."7 Consider the incantation of change from Merlin's Calling (2002) by Mart Ettin: The magical words and melodious sounds that [we] create . . . are strung together into harmonies that resonate with the lively world all around us. . . . The mystery of our thoughts and words become incantations uttered in verse. . . . In reverie, I sound out the changes that life brings and the changes that bring life. . . . Change comes 'round through sudden twists of fate Change comes 'round with plans gone out of date Change comes 'round when lovers meet their mate Change comes 'round when love transforms to hate 6 Mary Crow Dog, Lakota Woman (1990) 7 Eric Mark Kramer, Modern/Postmodern: Off the Beaten Path of Antimodernism (1997)
