The Theban Script The Theban Script Also known as the Alphabet of Honorius, the Witches Alphabet, etc. It is referred to the Latin alphabet and written left to right (the last character, referred to the Greek Omega, is not generally used as a letter, rather as a period or separator). This script was popularised by Agrippas De Occulta Philosophia (it appears in lib. III cap. XXIX, De characteribus et sigillis spritiuum), although it may have appeared in earlier works such as the Polygraphia of Trithemius. The alphabet is traditionally ascribed to one Honorius the Theban, probably the author of the Liber Juratus (the Sworn Book of Honorius), a medieval work on magic, although as far as I am aware this script does not appear in that work.

Magical scripts corresponding to Hebrew Magical scripts corresponding to Hebrew These appeared in Agrippas De Occulta Philosophia (lib. III cap. XXX, Alius characterizandi modus a cabalistis traditus) and are referred to the Hebrew alphabet. They do not include distinct final forms for any letters, although Malachim has a variant form of Samekh which may correspond to the otherwise unknown Samekh final alluded to in some magical works. Malachim is also called Angelic or Regal (from Heb., \yklm, Kings) by Agrippa.

Agrippa also gives an example of how the characters can be combined to form Sigils from Angelic Names and the like. f j z w h d g b a f j z w h d g b a x p u s n m l k y x p u s n m l k y { [ } \ ] t c r q { [ } \ ] t c r q
The Royal Arch Cipher The Royal Arch Cipher This is a simple cipher for the English alphabet, loosely based on the Qabalistic Aiq Bkr cipher; it is taken in this instance from Duncans Masonic Monitor. There are two versions of the cipher; one is on the upper case keys, one on the lower case keys.

Y Y e e Alphabet of Nug Alphabet of Nug- -Soth Soth This is a slight variant on the Royal Arch cipher which appeared in the Hay-Wilson-Langford-Turner Necronomicon. While generally corresponding to the English alphabet, C and K are not distinguished, nor are U and V.

The Illuminati Ci The Illuminati Ciphers phers These ciphers were published in A History of Secret Societies by Akron Daraul (a pseudonym of Idries Shah) and are alleged to have been used by the infamous Bavarian Illuminati. U and V are distinguished, but I and J are not. A third Illuminati cipher replaces the letters with numbers A with 12, B with 11, and so on down to M with 1; then N with 13, O with 14 and so on to Z=24 (here U and V are not distinguished). There is also one set of cipher charaters for the digits. These ciphers are used to spell out cryptic messages in some of the illustrations to Cosmic Trigger by R.A. Wilson.

A Collection of Sacred Magick | The Esoteric Library | www.sacred-magick.com The Enochian Alphabet. The Enochian Alphabet. This script emerged from the ceremonial skrying of John Dee and Edward Kelly. The name Enochian was applied by later writers; for Dee it was the Angelic or Adamical alphabet. There is some evidence that it should be written right to left. E A F D G C B E A F D G C,K B N Q P L H I M N Q P L H I, J, Y M T S U Z R O X T S U, V, W Z R O X

Of the four scripts for which a version A and version B is given, the A (Agrippa) versions are based on scans of the scripts from De occulta philosophia (as reproduced in the 1992 critical Latin edition the versions in the Llewellyn edition appear to have been redrawn by a modern illustrator); the B (Barrett) versions are based on scans of the plate of magical alphabets in The Magus. The Enochian alphabet is based on a scan of the letters from Sloane MS 3188 as reproduced by Laycock. The Alphabet of Daggers is based on a scan the plate in Equinox I (5); the Alphabet of Arrows was not scanned but drawn from scratch in CorelDraw following the figure in Equinox IV (2). Key mappings for Hebrew and scripts referred to Hebrew (both upper and lower case keys map to the same glyph, with the exception of Samekh in Malchim, where s gives s and S gives S). Final forms only on the ordinary Hebrew and Aiq Bkr cipher fonts.
