< how do I re-awaken that part of my mnd? >

Pure and simple Education. Cassell's New Latin Dictionary's indispensible...though I get the impression you're after a rather 'occult' methodology. In which case meditate - and my strong favourite are the works and methods of Chogyam Trungpa: no dogma, no cultism, no New Age dross, just damn fine healthy pragmatisms dealing with the knots of our unconcious very directly and without bullshit. I think then, after all that's sorted out, you can utilise meditation as a means to explore deeper realms of consciousness itself, and, therein, re-learn Latin. But at the same time, get books on the subject aswell.
