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 geomantic figures and numbers to each letter, and are consistent with one another in this regard.
Use
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.
Although the alphabet claims to transpose Hebrew letters onto patterns of stars, thereby linking astrology with the Kabbalah, it contains 24 symbols, each relating to the Latin alphabet (without a J or U). The alphabet of the angels is actually a code by substitution using letters of the alphabet corresponding to a symbol of an angel.
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.
