A woodcutter named Ali Baba chanced upon a dozen men making their way through the forest. Afraid they were robbers, he climbed into a tree. Their leader called out, Open sesame! and there opened a portal in the rocks into which all the men entered. The door shut behind them. After some time, the forty men emerged, all laden with goods. Shut sesame! the captain called, and he closed the door, then he and his men turned back through the forest.

The woodcutter, from his tree, thought about what he had seen. He and his family had little food and no money, despite his brother, Cassim, who was wealthy but mean. So, remembering the magic words, Ali Baba approached the door in the rocks and called out, Open sesame! On entering through the door, he found a vault of glittering treasure: gold coins, overflowing pearls and piles of precious jewels. He took all the gold he could carry, called Shut sesame! and closed the door.

Paraphrased from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

Open sesame, hey presto, abracadabra: your wish is granted. Wouldnt it be wonderful if words could really do this? Well, they can, and these miraculous words are known as Switchwords. These powerful declarations switch on the subconscious mind, helping you to manifest what you want in life. Forming a verbal code that the subconscious understands, Switchwords act immediately to align the subconscious mind with our conscious intention. When we are together with ourselves, aligned and resonating completely switched on we are truly in possession of our own power, able to attract what we want in life. These power-words work more effectively than conscious affirmations (see ): like attracts like. Put out a positive, authentic wish to the universe, and it is really possible to receive it with just one word.

We use common words as switches to open doors every day. Just as Ali Baba learned that open sesame was the magic formula that unlocked the vault of treasures, the simple please and thank you were the magic words of our childhoods. Say the magic word, we would be instructed in order to get what we wanted, whether it was a Christmas present, a piece of cake or the permission to play with a toy. Parents and other caregivers constantly set these magic words as a test, in the knowledge that we will need them to traverse the paths of communication as adults please in order to get, thank you in order to politely receive. Like please, a Switchword is the get word of magic, getting the subconscious and the universe onside so we can manifest whatever we choose without meditation, guilt or bargaining.

The manifesting magic of words is seeded in the translation of the magicians favourite, abracadabra, from the Aramaic avra kehdabra, I create as I speak or I create like the word; in Hebrew, it may come from a phrase meaning, It came to pass as it was spoken. The earliest written evidence of abracadabra is the 2nd-century medical poem De medicina praecepta by the Roman physician Quintus Serenus Sammonicus, who recommended the word be written in the shape of an inverted triangle, beginning with abracadabra on the first line, then for every line under it one letter from the end of the word was dropped, leaving just the first a at the point of the triangle. Worn as an amulet to cure disease, the funnel shape of the words symbolised sickness being drawn downwards out of the body, vanishing into nothing; as if by magic, the illness would disappear. The magic words we associate with conjurors, like Switchwords, are used to make something appear or disappear, to access a special place or to magically transform reality words are the passwords between this world and another realm. Hocus pocus has its origins in the Latin phrase hoc est corpus
