Theban

Theban alphabet    

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. It is also known as the ‘Witch’s
Alphabet’.

Notable features

  • Type of writing system: alphabet
  • Direction of writing: left to right in horizontal lines
  • 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.
