[edit] Merge with Abracadabra?

  • Keep: This is a topic in it's own right, and deserves it's own article. Somecallmetim 13:29, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Sigh. Keep for that reason, though it'll make more work for me. Dan 06:56, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Has enough of a distinct identity to warrant separate coverage. Maestlin 03:10, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing merge suggestion

I removed the following: Merge tag removed, so talk page doesn't show up in a category. Garion96 (talk) 16:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

The two weeks it's been up, all opinions have agreed with keeping this article, with no votes for merger. Moreover, this article is simply becoming too long and complex to become merged with another. –Frater5 (talk/con) 18:13, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of the Word

This article doesn't even agree with itself. The first section states that "Abrahadabra" as such first appears in The Book of the Law circa 1904; then the next section states that Crowley "appears to say" he discovered the word prior to January 1901, and used it in the Invocation of Horus that was supposed to have led to the reception of The Book; also that it appears in a published 1901 diary.

Does this last edit solve the problem? Crowley doesn't seem to have published any work containing the Word until he started distributing the Book of the Law. Dan 08:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)




The word appears in The Testament of Solomon which is a much older book. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.40.212.86 (talk) 15:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mention of alternate (most widely known?) spelling

Surely there is some relationship between the 'magickal' word abrahadabra and the 'magical' word abracadabra? This article should note either the connection, or the similarity somewhere. --Mal 10:48, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
