Angels-HOCUS POCUS

In certain medieval magic systems, Hocus Pocus was a spirit that manifested
as a “prince on high” (i.e., an angel). In the 1600s “hocus
pocus” was a name applied to any magician or juggler. The expression
was perhaps originally sham Latin used by magicians performing
tricks, very likely a perversion of the phrase from the Latin Mass, Hoc
est corpus meum (This is my body). Numerous derivations come from
the word including the English term hoax.
