A seemingly frivolous phrase that brings to mind childhood parties with lame magicians pulling rabbits out of hats...but there may actually be some real substance here. A few months back, I read something on Twitter about the origins of the word abracadabra, and I thought it was B.S. until I did some research. There are a few different definitions (most of them strained), but the most consistent seems to be that the word is based on the ancient Aramaic language, and translates directly from “abraq ad habra” = “I will create as I speak”.
Just another reminder that thoughts eventually become things...
