Its like how for decades the bible was only reproduced in latin, to keep a kind of auspicious magic to the words to prevent the heathens from understanding.

These words have some kind of "magic" hold and if you just make sure to use red-ink on your 1099C, they'll give you the keys to the castle.

I love how "hocus pocus" is a corruption of "hoc est corpus", that is the "this is [my] body" said during the eucharist.

People knew the priest used those words to turn a piece of pastry into the body of God, so they have to be powerful enough to be used elsewhere, right?
