The Theban
alphabet is a writing system with unknown origins. It is also known as the
Honorian Alphabet or the Runes of Honorius after the legendary magus.
Theban is not, however, a runic alphabet, or the Witches' Alphabet due to
its use in modern Wicca and other forms of witchcraft as one of many
substitution ciphers to hide magical writings such as the contents of a
Book of Shadows from prying eyes.
There is one-to-one correspondence between Theban and the letters in the
old Latin alphabet. The modern characters J, U and W are not represented,
and in modern usage these are transliterated using the Theban characters
for I, V and V V. Theban letters only exist in a single case.
The Theban alphabet is also known as the Theban Script or Angelic Script,
and it is said that it's one of several different scripts used to
communicate with angels. It's also said that, when someone wants to
petition an angel for help, it's more powerful if written with this
script. |
