Today, witches and wizards across the globe use the power and protection of Magickal Alphabets. The most important reason they say would be to protect the Magick and the potency involved. Names and words which have power in them are written in the form of these mysterious alphabets and it is said to have a force and energy greater than what a common letter would. Apart from this, Magickal Alphabets are also used for the reason to conceal and not to be understood and deciphered by those that cannot control that level of Magick. Spells, charms and the likes are written with the help of these alphabets and are not understood by someone who doesn’t understand the realms of Magick, not even the strongest charm can decipher them, no matter what the claim.
Witches and wizards say that the second reason adds more weight to the theory of Magickal alphabets. Magick is mysterious and not for everyone to know or to understand, unless the Goddess or the higher forces have blessed them with the powers to know of the beyond. Responsible mentors know that not everyone is capable of all Spellwork performed in a safe and suitable manner.


The Celts in the ancient days would use the Tree Ogham and it was a composition of straight lines that formed right angles at the edges and each had a name for a shrub or a sub species of vegetation. They were then cut and shaped into blocks and kept in parallel lines, five each, only to be used for Magick.
Finally other forms of Magickal alphabets involved Runes and parchment writings in the forms of birds and animals. It is important to know the relevance behind each of these symbols or alphabets before they are used. Or else you don’t know what would be waiting in store for you and with what intent were they created. Hence the knowledge of Magical alphabets in Wicca is known to be used for the craft of the wise.
