Why spells should be said 3 times?

Question

Why spells should be said 3 times?

Answer 1

The more you say something, the more likely you are to believe it. And spells are all about power of suggestion, nothing more.

Answer 2

Magic (and much of religion) is a matter of states of consciousness.  Threes occur everywhere, and seem to be a significant part of human experience.  "Third time is the charm."  Past, present and future; thesis, antithesis and synthesis.  A squared plus B squared equals C squared.  Left, right and center.  Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.  Introduction, body and conclusion.  And so on.  By repeating something three times, we match up our action with this pattern of the universe and gain power by doing so.

Answer 3

Because by the time you say the spell the 3rd time you should realize how dumb you sound

Answer 4

Because of the mystical significance of the number 3.........."Whatever I tell you 3 times is true"

Of course, it's all nonsense!

Answer 8

The demons carrying out the actual labor of the spell are very stupid, old, and hard of hearing.  Three times allows them to make sure they heard everything correctly and can remember it.  It also helps if you write the spell down for them.  Make sure to write in big letters.  They can't see very well either.

In actuality, it provides the "spellcaster" a sense of mysticism.  There has to be something special about the casting of the spell or you are just making a random desire known to the universe at large, which doesn't usually make much of a difference.  Since the words themselves have little to no power, obviously there needs to something more theatric.  Either way, the result is the same.
