Witches’ Alphabet, Theban Script
The Theban alphabet is a writing system with unknown origins. It was first published in Johannes Trithemius’ polygraphia (1518), in which it was attributed to honorius of Thebes. Trithemius’ student Agrippa (1486–1535) attributed it to Pietro d’Abano (1250–1316). it is also known as the Honourian alphabet or the runes of Honorius after the legendary Magus (Theban is not, however, a runic alphabet), or the Witches’ alphabet, due to its use in modern wicca and other forms of witchcraft as one of many substitution ciphers in order to hide magical writings – such as the contents of a book of shadows – from prying eyes.
I wish all mankind had one neck so I could choke it.
Carl Panzram
Look at the moon. How strange the moon seems! She is like a woman rising from a tomb. She is like a dead woman. One might fancy she was looking for dead things.
The Page of Herodias, ‘Salome’ by Oscar Wilde
دیگران را ببخش، نه به خاطر اینکه لایق بخششند، به خاطر اینکه تو لایق آرامشی
Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.
Witch Jail
Girls pose by a jail that recalls the witch trials of 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. Photo taken in 1945.
I recently learned that the water in Salem was contaminated with the fungus from which LSD is derived and a legitimate theory for the whole thing is that everyone in the town was tripping balls.
