The Adin Museum Of Fairy Tale Artifacts proudly presents: The Magical Abracadabra pendant

Once upon a time... a long, long time ago, people used to hang a piece of parchment around their neck with the word Abracadabra written down in a triangular pattern to be protected from various diseases and to be cured of fever, leading the evil energy to the ground.

The first known mention of the word ABRACADABRA was in the 2nd century AD in a Roman poem called "De Medicina Praecepta". Abracadabra sounds like the Aramaic word “Abrahadabra” which roughly translates to "I will create as I speak." It could also derive from the Hebrew “Abreg ad hãbra” meaning “strike dead with thy lightning”.

On the other side of the pendant, we can read "De vos mains grossières, Parmi des poussières, Écrivez, sorcières : Abracadabra" which translates to “Witches with your rough hands, write in the dust : Abracadabra”. This is from a text from Victor Hugo's “Odes et ballades 14”. Victor Hugo is also the author of the famous “Les Misérables”.

This pendant is simply loaded with symbolism. We can also recognize a double-headed bird and two flying scarabs. While we do not know the symbolic link with the turquoise used, we are pretty sure it has been included for some symbolic reason too.
