Abracadabra

RESTORED 5/29/23
Magic Words, made to sound so sing songy and easy on the ears.  People get caught up in the “FUN”, no realizing that these words are incantations and they are casting spells over the masses.

Most people will poo-poo what I am saying and call me an alarmist.  But, I am placed on this earth to be a messenger of truth.  That is my job.  Called of God to speak the truth in a world that hates the truth and loves the lie.

You can heed the warning or you can choose to ignore it. But, I cannot and will not refuse to obey the LORD and sound the alarm.

These magic words are tucked into Television shows, pop songs, rap, movies, bill boards, Commercials, Magazines. video games, and books.  There is no way to avoid them.  They bombard our minds and hearts every day.  If you are not aware and awake, you WILL be affected by them.

I have created a series of posts about the Magic Words that are most common.  There are surely many others, but these are the ones most often appearing arounds us and which we need to recognize.

I am starting with the word “Abracadabra”, which is the word of choice for many magicians from the fledgling youngster to the polished professional.

I will take you through my research and let you see all the important data which I considered in my processing of the information and the formulation of my conclusions.

Say the Magic Word: The Origins of Abracadabra

Magic words are often used by magicians whilst performing magic tricks on stage. One of the most common of these incantations is ‘Abracadabra’. Although this word is known to many, it is likely that fewer people are aware of its origins. Apart from ‘Abracadabra’ there are several other magic words that are popularly used by stage magicians. Like ‘Abracadabra’, however, the origins of these words are also a mystery to most people.

Where Does the Word Abracadabra Come From?

While ‘Abracadabra’ though of unknown origin, is commonly used by stage magicians today for the entertainment of the masses, this word is said to have its origins in the ancient Roman world. Back then, this word was not used for performances, but was believed to contain potent magical power within it.

The first known mention of the word was in the second century AD in a book called Liber Medicinalis (sometimes known as De Medicina Praecepta Saluberrima) by “Serenus Sammonicus” href=”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenus_Sammonicus”>Serenus Sammonicus,[7] physician to the Roman emperor Caracalla, who in chapter 51 prescribed that malaria sufferers wear an amulet containing the word written in the form of a triangle.  The power of the amulet, he claimed, makes lethal diseases go away. Other Roman emperors, including Geta and Severus Alexander, were followers of the medical teachings of Serenus Sammonicus and may have used the incantation as well.

Abracadabra as a Medicinal Charm

 Serenus Sammonicus, provides a description in his Liber Medicinalis about the way this magic word may be used. This talisman involved the word being written on a piece of parchment repeatedly, with a letter being removed each time, until only one is left.

In the Middle Ages people believed that any event they couldn’t explain was possibly caused by magic, and much of the population of Medieval Europe deeply feared having an enchantment cast on them so they used Abracadabra to ward off any potential wrongdoing sent in their direction. As in Roman times, it was also used to “cure” disease.

It was used as a magical formula by the Gnostics of the sect of Basilides in invoking the aid of beneficent spirits against disease and misfortune.[10] It is found on Abraxas stones, which were worn as amulets. Subsequently, its use spread beyond the Gnostics.

The use of this ‘Abracadabra’ pyramid is mentioned by writers in later ages, including the 16th century Eva Rimmington Taylor, who wrote in ‘ The Troublesome Voyage of Capt. Edward Fenton’ : “Banester sayeth he healed 200 in one year of an ague by hanging abracadabra about their necks.”

The Puritan minister Increase Mather dismissed the word as bereft of power. Daniel Defoe also wrote dismissively about Londoners who posted the word on their doorways to ward off sickness during the Great Plague of London.[11]

And Abracadabra was still around in the 18th century, as Daniel Defoe wrote in his 1722 work ‘ Journal of the Plague Year’ , that the superstition was unfortunately being applied during to that epidemic :

“People deceiv’d; and this was in wearing Charms, Philters, Exorcisms,  Amulets, and I know not what Preparations, to fortify the Body with them against the Plague; as if the Plague was but a kind of a Possession of an evil Spirit; and that it was to be kept off with Crossings, Signs of the Zodiac, Papers tied up with so many Knots; and certain Words, or Figures written on them, as particularly the Word Abracadabra, form’d in Triangle, or Pyramid…

How the poor People found the Insufficiency of those things, and how many of them were afterwards carried away in the Dead-Carts.”

Several folk etymologies are associated with the word:[2] from phrases in Hebrew that mean “I will create as I speak”.  According to another theory, the word ‘Abracadabra’ is derived from the Hebrew words ‘ab, ben, ruach hakodesh’, which translates as ‘Father, Son and Holy Spirit’. Thus, the word ‘Abracadabra’ is in fact an invocation of the Holy Trinity .

According to another theory, this magic word is derived from another magic word known as ‘abraxas’. This word is special, as its letters, in Greek numerology, adds up to 365, i.e. the number of days in a year .  Others note its similarity to the first four letters of the Greek alphabet (alpha-beta-gamma-delta or ΑΒΓΔ).[6]

Another theory connects it to an Aramaic phrase meaning: “I create like the word” (אברא כדברא),[4] t or to its similarity to the first four letters of the Greek alphabet (alpha-beta-gamma-delta or ΑΒΓΔ).[6]

Yet another theory for the origins of the word ‘Abracadabra’ is the Aramaic phrase ‘Avra kadavra’. Fans of the Harry Potter series would perhaps be familiar with this phrase, as a similar spell, ‘Avada kedavra’ is featured in the books. In the Harry Potter series, Avada kedavra’ functions as a killing curse, and J. K. Rowling, who authored the books, is said to have drawn inspiration for this spell from the original Aramaic version of it. The original meaning of these magical words, according to Rowling, was ‘let the thing be destroyed’, and it was used for curing illnesses .

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A silver talisman from the 6th or 7th century, inscribed with words similar to abracadabra

Abracadabra is a magic word used in stage magic tricks. Historically it was believed to be an incantation having healing powers when inscribed on an amulet.

History

The religion of Thelema spells the word ‘Abrahadabra‘, and considers it the magical formula of the current Aeon. The religion’s founder, Aleister Crowley, explains in his essay Gematria that he discovered the word (and his spelling) by qabalistic methods. The word ‘Abrahadabra’ also appears repeatedly in the 1904 invocation of Horus  that led to the founding of Thelema. (The Equinox I, no. 7. 1912)

Abracadabra is now more commonly used as a magic word in the performance of stage magic. The word is one of a limited set of words that can be typed in its entirety using the left-handed side of a QWERTY keyboard.

THE FASCINATING ORIGIN OF THE WORD “ABRACADABRA”

magicToday I found out the origin of the word “abracadabra.”

These days you might hear this word before some stage magician pulls a rabbit out of his hat, but hundreds of years ago people actually believed that “abracadabra” was a magical spell. The exact origin of the word is up for debate, but perhaps one of the oldest records we have of “Abracadabra” being used is a snippet from a Roman sage named Serenus Sammonicus in the 2nd century AD from his Liber Medicinalis:

The malady the Greeks call hemitritaeos is more deadly. None of our ancestors could name this disease in our own language, nor did they feel the need to. On a piece of parchment, write the so-called ‘abracadabra’ several times, repeating it on the line below; but take off the end, so that gradually individual letters, which you will take away each time, are missing from the word. Continue until the (last) letter makes the apex of a cone. Remember to wind this with linen and hang it around the neck. Many people say that the lard of a lion is effective . . .

It’s unlikely that Sammonicus came up with the word on his own and it is thought to have been in use before then. There are a couple of theories as to where it might have ultimately come from. First, it could have been derived from the equally magical word “abraxas” whose letters, in Greek numerology, add up to 365—the number of days in the year. It could be that early sages thought this was a powerful word and somehow created “abracadabra” out of it and turned it into a “cure.”

Alternatively, the word might be derived from the Hebrew words for “father, son, and holy spirit”: “ab, ben, and ruach hakodesh” respectively. Perhaps more intuitively, it could be derived from and Aramaic phrase “avra kadavra.” Harry Potter fans will likely know that this is what JK Rowling used when she was coming up with the killing curse “avada kedavra.” In an interview, she stated that the original phrase meant “let the thing be destroyed,” (more on this in the Bonus Facts below) which would suit the cure-theory well; abracadabra was written to “destroy” the sickness.

abacadabraAs strange as it may seem today, people did wear talismans of sorts with the “abracadabra” cone as Sammonicus described. It was thought to cure diseases, fever, and other problems by siphoning it out of the person and expelling it through that bottom “A”. Obviously it would have no more than a placebo effect on the user, but people seem to put a lot of stock in it.

Abracadabra was still used as a “cure” well into the 18th century, as evidenced by a 1722 book by Daniel Defoe titled Journal of  Plague Year, which lamented the use of such charms.

Eventually, people let go of the abracadabra superstition and by the 19th century the practice of hanging an abracadabra charm around your neck to cure disease had died down. At this point, the word started to take on the meaning of “fake magic” which is what we know today—after all, magicians don’t actually make rabbits appear out of thin air… or do they?!?

I found a TV series by the name Abracadabra.  They love to put Magic Shows on TV.  I never heard of this guy and I was unable to find any information on when, where or for how long this show aired.

Wolfgang Riebe

You may recall him from his huge TV presence a few years back with his hit series’ Abracadabra, Master Magician, ETV’s Craz-e and many unforgettable guest appearances as the funny magician with the ponytail and the wooden tie! Over 200 TV shows says it all!

“Wolfgang’s success and global achievements are the reason and the inspiration behind most of the professional magicians in South Africa today!” His whole life has been about sharing, giving and helping others grow, hence today he is also seen as one of the leading motivational speakers in the world today who originated the term “enter-trainer” and was the first speaker/magician in the world to combine magic and motivation for corporate clients.

D’s design goals attempt to combine the performance of compiled languages with the safety and expressive power of modern dynamic languages. Idiomatic D code is commonly as fast as equivalent C++ code, while being shorter and memory-safe. Type inference, automatic memory management and syntactic sugar for common types allow faster development, while bounds checking, design by contract features and a concurrency-aware type system help reduce the occurrence of bugs.

I fully believe that this word is an incantation meant to call forth or call upon a spiritual being.  I believe that within the name or the numbers is hidden the name of the entity being summoned.

It is very dangerous to play around with this sort of thing.  Especially in these times, when the demonic entities are returning to the earth full force.

Because we have all been under the spell of these catchy tunes, winning phrases, words, symbols and movements, we ALL have had at least moments when we catch ourselves singing the lyrics, dancing the steps, hearing the tunes in our heads.  

Be careful my friends.  Even is you don’t know the name of the demon they are calling in, the demons know who they reference by that word.

Keep your minds and hearts stayed on THE WORD of GOD which IS Jesus Christ.
