    THE ALPHA OMEGA OF MAGICAL SIGILS
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2017*

Most people probably don’t know there are  lots of different alphabets or that alphabets are as magical as they are practical.  All accumulated knowledge can be expressed using the letters of an alphabet. That’s magical. But most of us have been exposed only to the Roman alphabet. Some of us are familiar wth the Runes as well. Runes  are both an ancient and a modern alphabet. The Runes, called Futhark because of the arrangement of the letters,  are the only “living alphabet.”  They are still changing and even growing even though some sigils and the basic arrangement of those sigils are as old as or older than the Roman and Greek alphabets. The Christians primarily used the Greek and Roman alphabets for ceremonies, but examples of other archaic symbols and alphabets were used in Christian art, geometry and architecture. Bishops would trace the entire Roman or Greek alphabet to show the entirety of Christ. Gamatria, the exchange  of letters for numbers and numbers for letters is an old practice used not only in politics and court intrigue but in memory training. The author doesn’t mention this use, but it is still the most practical use of magical alphabets. Several books on memory explain the techniques. Alphabets have so many uses, it would be impossible to include them all, and this book is packed with knowledge. This book is a better reference book than it is a reader.  It includes very few errors. The author explains how the letters in the Roman alphabet correspond with 7 planets, 12 Zodiac signs, 4 elements, and “H’ which isn’t considered a letter, but is an aspiration that corresponded with “Spirit of the World.” In this explanation,  he  missed  “W” and “Y.” Were these two letters at one time not a part of the Roman alphabet? It’s still a very good body of work, and it is now sitting on my reference shelf.

    A nice overview.
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2011*

The author has given a nice overview of many different ancient scripts here.  The only criticism I have is that it is only that, an overview.  If you want in-depth discussion or to actually learn any of these scripts then you'll need another book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars

I have enjoyed very much reading this excellent book. The erudition that the author shows in each of their pages is evident and has helped me clarify many doubts that I had on these questions. I highly recommend this book to all those who want to know more about ancient languages and history in general.
