The '''Alphabet of the Angels''' is a script which is supposed to be of the language with which [[angels]] or genii are said to communicate with mortals. | |||
==Origins== | |||
The alphabet of the angels seems to have originated from ''MS Harley 6482'', and was subsequently published in the book ''[[Theomagia]]'' by [[John Heydon]], though in an altered form with slightly more elaborate letters. | |||
Both works attribute [[Geomancy|geomantic]] figures and numbers to each letter, and are consistent with one another in this regard. | Both works attribute [[Geomancy|geomantic]] figures and numbers to each letter, and are consistent with one another in this regard. | ||

In ''Theomagia'', the script is used to write the names of one's personal genius onto a [[talisman]] after calculating it based on the nativity of an individual in order to establish communication with said spirit. | In ''Theomagia'', the script is used to write the names of one's personal genius onto a [[talisman]] after calculating it based on the nativity of an individual in order to establish communication with said spirit. | ||
The alphabet essentially transposes [[Judaism|Hebrew]] letters onto patterns of stars, thereby linking [[astrology]] with the [[Kabbalah]]. Heydon states: "It teacheth the many wonderfull things of God; and proveth that all these Starrs have not their Order bestowed on them in vain." He further elaborated that he viewed it as blasphemy to deny the divinity of the stars and their arrangement in the sky. | |||
