This word or phrase, âamenâ or âAmenâ, is generally an expression of agreement, ratification, and confirmation utilized during spiritual worship and/or religious services or ceremonies conducted by Greek, Jewish, Nordic, Gnostic, Christian, Muslim, Ancient Egyptian, and other spiritual leaders as well as having been introduced into spells of âAnathemaâ (i.e., originally meaning an âoffering to a godâ during the time of the Ancient Greeks but later in history this word evolved into meaning âaccursed, denounced, exiledâ, etc.). Note that all spells, spellwork, or spell casting are not performed for negative or evil purposes let alone intent or results; spells are also cast for purposes of spiritual benefaction via the elementals of Mother Nature, namelyâEarth, Air, Fire, Water, and Aether (i.e., a spirit entity or spiritual energy) for positive outcomes.

The Greek version of the Old Testament (or âdiathekeâ) often scripturally translates âAmenâ as meaning âso be itâ which is quite similar in connotation to the phrase, âSo mote it beâ, often found in many metaphysical spells and rituals of Witchcraft and Neo-Pagan Wicca.
