angel alphabets

Secret written languages used in MAGIC and mysticism

and conveyed by angels. Angel alphabets are used to
invoke and communicate with angels and spirits, and
to translate and encode prayers, charms, texts,
AMULETS, and TALISMANS.
One of the most widely copied and used celestial
alphabets comes from the SEFER RAZIEL and is of
unknown origin. Various alphabets are attributed to
individual angels, including Metatron, Michael, Gabriel,
Raphael, and other angels.
In form, some angel alphabets resemble cuneiform;
others are related to early Hebrew or Samaritan script.
They are called eye writing in Kabbalistic literature
because the letters are formed with straight and curved
lines and circles resembling eyes. There is one charac-
ter for each letter in the Hebrew alphabet. The scripts
may be used in conjunction with SEALS, symbols, and
magical squares of numbers.
Signicant magical scripts are:

Celestial Writing. A type of eye writing related to the

stars.
Malachim. A type of eye writing that takes its inspi-
ration from the angelic order of MALACHIM
(kings) and from the book of Malachi, whose
proper name is derived from the Hebrew term for
my messenger. Of special signicance in
Malachi is verse 3:16:
Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another;
the Lord heeded and heard them, and a book of remem-
brance was written before him of those who feared the
Lord and thought on his name.
The Greater Key of SOLOMON refers to Malachim as
the tongue of angels. According to occultist S.L.
MacGregor-Mathers, Malachim is formed by the posi-
tions of stars. The characters are shaped by drawing
imaginary lines from one star to another.
