ABRACADABRA Shield, Wall Art

ABRACADABRA

This unique piece is perfect for enthusiasts of both stage magic or the occult.

The word ABRACADABRA is considered to be a barbarous word, meaning its origins are unknown. It first appears in the second century work of Greek occultist Serenus Sammonicus, in his book Liber Medicinalis. Therein it is described as a cure for Malaria, when written on an amulet in triangular fashion. As with similar magic words, such as ABRAXAS, it is often written in a descending triangle with each subsequent line omitting a letter; in this manner, it is believed to decrease unwanted conditions such as a fever.
