He and Tolkien were such tree-lovers, weren't they? I find it interesting that the Magician thinks the dryad wants to become human, and that is ultimately what kills her spirit.

I wish I could translate the Latin incantation, but alas, no Latin in my background. I did find a quite extensive site on the goddess Hecate, if anyone is interested: Hecate's History

The Latin says something like "I conjure you through essential Hecate and with the silent night."
