Abracadabra

With the exception of the sun, Vega has been the most studied light source in creation. Around 12,000 b.c. the precession of equinox was anchored by the pole star Vega. It formed the vertex of an easily recognizable pattern of stars shaped as a triangle. This Great Triangle or Summer Triangle appeared upright near the horizon during the summer months but rotated and became upended during the winter. On moonless nights, the stars of the Milky Way could be seen and appeared to pass through this triangle.

The name Vega comes from the Arabic waqi which means "swoop" or "hover" in reference to the phrase an-nasr al-wāqi‘ "the alighting vulture". Al Waqi'a is also the name used in the Quran for the Redeemer. The vulture must land and the Redeemer must walk the earth; both are inevitable. This inevitability is illustrated in the ceremony of an-nasr al waqi. The host stands aloft and pours the libation into cups held at a lower level. As the liquid leaves the pitcher, it fills the cup if the cup is in alignment. If the focus of the cupholder is on the pitcher, then a connection can be made and the cup can be filled. In 12,000 b.c. the focus of the pole star Vega appeared to be on ancient men.

The Hebrew word for star Vega is Barqat. The root of this word is used to build words for; blessing, growth and prosperity. Blessings inevitably bring growth and prosperity. Other words built from this root are flash, shine and lightening. Lightening occurs when a connection is made between sky and earth. Mountaintops offer the most intense focus and is where many connections are made. After the connection is made, lightening is inevitable. The light of the heavens travels down the ladder of focus and fills the earth with cosmic libation.

Peridot is the alchemical representative for Vega. Peridot is a green crystal gemstone that is very soft and has special refractive qualities. It is found on an island in the Red Sea off the coast of southern Egypt called Zabargad (Egyptian word for Vega). This island is geologically unique as it is a fragment of the sub Red Sea lithospere's uplifted mantle. The island became present above sea level after African and Asiatic plates converged to cause rocks in the lower crust to be uplifted. Peridote found on the island of Zabargad is the purest form of a class of gemstone known as "Serpentenite" or serpent stone. Peridote crystals are the only gemstone found in meteorites. The island of Zabargad is also the breeding colony of several bird species, most notably the sooty falcon.

The breastplate of the high priest in Jerusalem surely had peridot as one of the gemstones. This would inevitably attract blessings from Vega, the Morning Star. The faceting of the gemstone would ensure a surface that would make a connection and obtain focus. The evidence that a connection has been made is a sudden FLASH. Al Waqi pours out blessings through the ladder connecting the star and gemstone. The blessing is focused by the peridot onto the wearer of the ephod. "Like attracts like" according to Kabalistic physics and the stone found on Zabargad was a chip (PTR) from Vega.

The magical effects of crystalite stone is still a part of folklore today. Perhaps the etymology of the word abracadabra can be explained by this gemstone's properties. A-BRCH (the blessing) DBR (holy of holies). The blessing from Holy of Holies would need a stone for focus and connection. Perhaps this stone was Peridot and is what was known as an "Abraxes" stone.
