Lady Gaga’s latest single, “Abracadabra,” is more than just a pop anthem; it’s a modern incantation that intertwines music with ancient mysticism.⁣ ⁣ Abracadabra’s earliest recorded use dates back to the second century AD, where it appeared in the work of Serenus Sammonicus, a Roman physician.⁣ ⁣ He recommended inscribing the word in a diminishing triangular pattern on an amulet to ward off illness. ⁣ ⁣ Etymologicallya, “abracadabra” has been linked to a few sources:⁣ ⁣ 🧿 Aramaic: Some scholars suggest it derives from the Aramaic phrase “avra kehdabra,” meaning “I will create as I speak,” highlighting the power of the spoken word in manifesting reality.⁣ ⁣ 🧿 Hebrew Another theory connects it to the Hebrew words “ab” (father), “ben” (son), and “ruach hakodesh” (holy spirit), potentially signifying a divine invocation.⁣ ⁣ In “Abracadabra,” Lady Gaga crafts lyrics that act as a incantation:⁣ ⁣ 🎵Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na / Abracadabra, morta-ooh-ga-ga”⁣ ⁣ Gaga juxtaposes “amor” (love) and “morta” (death), delving into themes of love and mortality.⁣ ⁣ This duality reflects the transformative power of “abracadabra,” suggesting that through the magic of love and the inevitability of death, we can manifest and transform our realities.⁣ ⁣ 🎵Pay the toll to the angels / Drawing circles in the clouds”⁣ ⁣ These lines evoke imagery of spiritual rituals and celestial interactions. Drawing circles” is reminiscent of ancient magical practices where circles were symbols of protection and focus during spellcasting.⁣ ⁣ The “toll to the angels” reflect the sacrifices or offerings made to attain higher wisdom or favor.⁣ ⁣ 🎵Phantom of the dance floor, come to me / Sing for me a sinful melody⁣ ⁣ This summons a spectral entity through music, akin to invoking spirits during occult rituals. The “sinful melody” suggests a dance with the forbidden, embracing the shadow self to achieve wholeness.⁣ ⁣ By repeating “abracadabra,” Gaga isn’t merely using a catchy refrain; she’s invoking the ancient belief in the power of words to create and transform.⁣ ⁣ The song becomes a spell, encouraging listeners to embrace both light and darkness, love and death, to manifest their true selves.⁣ @ladygaga #witchtok #occulttok #abracadabra #ladygaga #magick - @pythianpriestess
