@williamchamberlain2263 4 года назад

My take: if a rabbit is caught in a wire snare it may gnaw its own foot off to escape, and may even survive the shock and blood loss. If you're a trapper and find the foot without a fluffy corpse nearby, then you know that it _is_ indeed a lucky rabbit, and you've therefore got a bit of embodied luck it left behind in your snare.

Except that you are fudging the words a bit to translate it that way, both removing letters, adding letters, and changing vowels to get the right form of the word. If it did come from Hebrew, it changed a lot through the years, keeping only most of the right letters, but not all of them. Conversely, if it is Aramaic, little if anything, has to change. The literal translation being: I [will] create like the word.

"Ate" and "eight", "two" and "to", "you're" and "your", "they're" and "their" and "there", etc. Natural language isn't designed, saying "why didn't they just do X and Y, makes more sense" ignores the fact that language isn't logical. They also never just "started" using "shi" for both words, the sounds of the two words gradually got closer and closer over time until they were the same sound.

Hoodoo is a living tradition, itself an African Diaspora Religion still practiced and being lovingly reclaimed by many of us. One need only read or listen to African and AfroAmerican folklore to gain some understanding of the significance and power of a rabbit's foot. Also, "mojo" has real import and refers to a Senegambian tradition of using amulets for various purposes. "Mumbo jumbo" is rooted in a reductive and dismissive racist mimicry of African languages and faith traditions.

"Mumbo jumbo" made mockery of African languages and particularly their connections to and use in ATR's. A mambo/manbo is a female priest in Vodou, the "jumbo" part has referents in nzambi/jumbie which are kiKongo-derived terms for spirits. The term "mumbo jumbo" mocked what colonial whites considered the primitive superstitions and practices of African peoples, which is also why hoodoo-voodoo is used dismissively/derisively.

@@the88thdarcstar of course I heard of the reformation, in fact, I'm from the country in which Luther sparked it. But what does that matter? All I said is that most western ("Christian") people aren't as hung up on their religion as they used to be and don't care for those semantic "subtleties" anymore; which honestly is proven by the fact that even a youtube channel which's main feature it is to look things up and do research on anything under the sun didn't care enough to make this destinction. I mean cool that you know the difference, good for you. I personally have also acquired tons of useless knowledge and facts myself, but frankly most people don't care about those either.

Reminds me of the Jackie Chan adventures cartoon show the uncle said that a whole rabbit is more luckier than just having 1 rabbits foot 🤣

There are no real magic words. There is no "real" magic.

I was always told AbraCadabra came from ancient Hebrew: originally pronounced Eh-vra Ka-adaber, meaning "I shall create the which I will speak.". I tend to agree with it since that's usually what magicians do after they say these words up to modern times. They say abracadabra and create something by "magical means".

@natsune09 4 года назад

Just think of this. Some dude, way back when, made up a word and had no idea that it would still exist to this day. The person who did it, would be forgotten to history, but not the word he created. Makes you think if you will ever do a similar thing.

Abracadabra can also be broken up to "open the body" I forget which language that the Professor who said that was teaching as I graduated in 1979. I took several languages towards my degree

There were no rabbits in Celtic Britain, there were Hares a different species, which were worshipped by the Romans. Rabbits were brought to Britian in the 10th centuary by the Normans, and it took a long time to get them to breed! There are purposly built warrens assaciated with many Norman and middle ages castles.
