Platform: TIKTOK Author: @conspiracywellness --- Audio Transcript (What was said) --- Black mirrors were used to contact spirits and we use them every single day. They were called scrying mirrors. Scry became screen. When you are praying, you are trying to cast a spell to change reality. It's your words. The word abracadabra translates to I will create with my words. This is why we call it spelling. It's a spell. Birthday rituals are making you age quicker. When we say how old are you, we are tricking our subconscious mind that we are old. This is a gen, which is an invisible creature within the astral planes. --- On-Screen Text (OCR) --- Hidden Rituals We Do Every Day THEM EVERY SINGLE --- Hidden Rituals We Do Every Day SCRYING MIRRORS SOURCE PLATFORM: unclear --- Hidden Rituals We Do Every Day WHEN YOU'RE PRAYING --- Hidden Rituals We Do Every Day CHANGE REALITY WITH --- Hidden Rituals We Do Every Day ABRACADABRA ABRACADABR ABRACADAB ABRACADA ABRACAD ABRACA ABRAC ABRA ABR AB A THE WORD ABRACADABRA SOURCE PLATFORM: unclear --- Hidden Rituals We Do Every Day CREATE WITH MY --- Hidden Rituals We Do Every Day Cast a Spell Thirteen Steps to Cast a Magick Spell 1.

Claims analyzed (9)

  1. verified: Black mirrors were used to contact spirits.
    Historical accounts and occult practices confirm the use of black mirrors, also known as scrying mirrors or psychomanteums, for divination and attempts to contact spirits.
  2. verified: Black mirrors were called scrying mirrors.
    Historical and occult sources confirm that black mirrors are indeed referred to as scrying mirrors, used for divination.
  3. false: The word 'scry' became 'screen'.
    Etymological sources indicate that 'scry' is a shortened form of 'descry' or 'ascry', meaning to proclaim or discern. There is no linguistic evidence to suggest that 'scry' evolved into 'screen'.
  4. false: When you are praying, you are trying to cast a spell to change reality.
    While some spiritual and new age perspectives draw parallels between prayer and manifestation or 'spells' due to the power of intention and words, traditional definitions of prayer do not equate it with casting a spell. Prayer is generally understood as communication with a deity, while spell casting is a magical ritual.
  5. mostly true: The word 'abracadabra' translates to 'I will create with my words'.
    While there is no single agreed-upon translation for 'abracadabra', many scholars and sources suggest its origins in Aramaic or Hebrew, with interpretations often aligning with 'I create as I speak' or 'I will create with my words'. Other proposed meanings also exist.
  6. misleading: We call it 'spelling' because it's a spell.
    While there is a metaphorical connection drawn between 'spelling' words and 'casting a spell' due to the power of language, the etymological origins of the two uses of 'spell' are distinct. The word 'spell' meaning a magical incantation and 'spell' meaning to form words with letters both derive from Old English, but their meanings diverged.
  7. false: Birthday rituals are making you age quicker.
    There is no scientific or credible evidence to support the claim that birthday rituals cause individuals to age quicker. This is a metaphysical or occult belief not supported by mainstream understanding of aging.
  8. false: When we say 'how old are you', we are tricking our subconscious mind that we are old.
    While some theories suggest that our thoughts and beliefs can influence our perception of aging, there is no scientific evidence that simply asking or stating one's age 'tricks' the subconscious mind into aging quicker. The concept is more aligned with metaphysical or self-help beliefs rather than established psychology.
  9. unverifiable: A 'gen' is an invisible creature within the astral planes.
    While the concept of invisible creatures and entities in astral planes exists in various occult and spiritual traditions, the specific term 'gen' as described in the post (an invisible creature within the astral planes) is not widely recognized or consistently defined across credible sources. It may be a misinterpretation or a term from a niche belief system.
