Word Power
By L ia n n e F o rn e y
b its o f magicians say the w ind
abracadabra to make things ap|xar or
disappear. The w onl has always been
magical, hut originally it was a word
that people wore rather than a word they
sp» >ke
The letters that make up abracadabra
were arranged in an upside-down pyramid
and wont around the neck as a gtxxl luck
charm. People thought the charm pn>
tected them from tnutble or illness
\bracadabra was w ritten so that one less
letter appeared in each line o f the pyramid,
until finally only a was left to form the
bottom point o f the triangle People
behexed that as the letters disappeared, so
did the trouble or the illness.
