It appears that, contrary to common belief, hocus pocus is not related to 'hoc est enim corpus meum' n the Roman Catholic Mass. It's from 'hax pax deus adimax', a chant used in the 16th century by quack doctors. Check this sources: Phillip Howard, Words Fail Me, chapter 14: 'Lemmings'. Also found in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology.
