Thedan Script - used extensively by Gardnerian Witches Runic 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 Ireland Ceremonial Magick Alphabets - “Passing the River”, “Malachim” and “Celestial” alphabets were used almost exclusively by ceremonial magicians
Selections from the Golden Dawn Notebooks by W.B. Yeats
The Order of the Golden Dawn, which WBY joined on 7 March 1890, was a
society dedicated to the study of Rosicrucianism and ritual magic.
(Rosicrucianism was a seventeenth century movement, based on
Christianity, which gave rise to several secret organizations devoted to
alchemy, mysticism, and esoteric spiritual beliefs).
The Order evolved an elaborate system of symbols and rituals and also
an elaborate hierarchy — members studied and underwent examinations to
move from level to level. They used Tarot cards to prognosticate about
the future, performed magical ceremonies to access archetypes and in
some instances deities, and engaged in the practice of magic.
During the 1890s, the organization, which was based in London, had
over 300 members. These included WBY, his uncle George Pollexfen, Maud
Gonne, Florence Farr, Annie Horniman and Georgina Hyde-Lees, who later
became WBY’s wife.
