fuckyeahnorsemythology: theasatrucommunity: chaosophia218: Ancient Alphabets.Thedan Script - used extensively by Gardnerian WitchesRunic Alphabets - they served for divinatory and ritual purposes, as well as the more practical use; there are three main types of Runes; Germanic, Scandinavian/Norse, and Anglo-Saxon and they each have any number of variations, depending on the region from which they originate Celtic and Pictish - early Celts and their priests, the Druids, had their own form of alphabet known as “Ogam Bethluisnion”, which was an extremely simple alphabet used more for carving into wood and stone, than for general writing, while Pictish artwork was later adopted by the Celts, especially throughout IrelandCeremonial Magick Alphabets - “Passing the River”, “Malachim” and “Celestial” alphabets were used almost exclusively by ceremonial magicians Nice reference! A nice side-by-side comparison of runic scripts. The last three are constructed alphabets by Heinrich Agrippa and are not organic scripts. They are also based off of Greek and Latin rather than germanic languages. -- source link
