Theban: The Secret Language of the Witches

Origin

The origins of the Theban alphabet are lost in the mists of time. It is often called "The Runes of Honorius" after its reputed inventor, Honorius of Thebes. The Theban Alphabet is also referred to as the 'Witch's Alphabet'. Today as in during the times prior to the reformation, Theban is used in modern Wicca and various other forms of pagan paths as a substitution to common scripts in cipher to keep prying eyes and to hide magical writings utilized by a book of shadows.



Notes

There is a one-to-one correspondence between letters of the Theban and Latin alphabets with the exception of the letters j and u. These letters are represented by the letters for i and v.


The Theban alphabet is used by witches to write spells, inscriptions and other texts. It serves to disguise the meaning of a text and to give it a mystical quality.
