Although there are a couple of different alphabets used in paganism, there is only one associated as the symbols of the Wiccan alphabet. The Wiccan alphabet is also known as the Theban alphabet. This alphabet is also called the runes of honorius, named after its creator Honorus of Thebes. It is also called the witch’s alphabet.
The symbols of the Wiccan alphabet were created to help keep spells and special information secret. Often times, the entire Book of Shadows was written in the Wiccan alphabet to keep it secret and keep prying eyes off. This is especially true during the times in history when witches were crucified.
The Wiccan alphabet also allows the user to add a degree of mysticism to their writing and spells. It takes time to learn the alphabet and learn to write in the alphabet. By typing the Theban alphabet into the Google search engine, you can quickly find image results for the Theban alphabet. You can print them out and use them as a study guide.
The Wiccan alphabet is often claimed by witches as their alphabet, however the first time the alphabet appeared was in the 16th century in Cornelius Agrippa’s “The Three Books of Occult Philosophy.” Agrippa claims that a 13th century magician attributes the alphabet to Honorus of Thebes.
The alphabet is believed to have been used to write spells and shadow books based on parallel words in Latin. Modern witches use it to translate their mother tongue into the alphabet in order to keep their writing secret. Many pagans also use the symbols of the Wiccan alphabet to inscribe candles, stones, and other tools for magical use.
