Yet another theory about the origin of 'abracadabra' says that it comes from Hebrew: 'Abarah ki Dab-boreh' which means: I create it by saying it to be created. The same way Jahweh created our world - so the story goes Ancient Origins has been quoted by:.

The famed British author — while admitting to fans in an interview at the Edinburgh Book Festival in April that she took liberties which much of her mythological and occult source material — claimed she based her version of Avada Kedavra on the original Aramaic form of the phrase. According to Rowling, the original meaning of the phrase was let the thing be destroyed, and that it was used to cure illnesses.
Rowling's interpretation has some backing both in ancient Roman-era sources but also in the work of the author of Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe. In his account of the London's Great Plague of , A Journal of the Plague Year, Defoe described the poor masses of the English capital resorting to all sorts of religious and occult charms to ward off the deadly bubonic plague, including abracadabra amulets. During the midth to early 20th century British obsession with occult spirituality took off and famed English occultist Aleister Crowley decided to take his own stab at appropriating the magical word.
He reconstructed abracadabra through a kabalistic reformulation as abrahadabra in his work, The Book of the Law, which outlined the basic principles of his new religion, Thelema. Crowley, described his abrahadabra as "the Word of the Aeon, which signifieth The Great Work accomplished. While Crowley's translation of abracadabra may seem a bit dubious both in accuracy and his own underlying sanity, the best explanation seems to come from the self-described Millionaires' Magician, Steve Cohen.
Cohen recently created a History Channel special called Lost Magic Decoded in looking at old and lost magic tricks, but already took a shot at abracadabra in his book Win the Crowd.
