English is obviously the language of choice for most of us when we write spells to be ritually burned - but, really, writing in English doesn't take all that much effort. Since magick is all about raising energy, any extra effort we put into writing our desires on paper enhances the power of the spell. So, after you've written your draft spell in English (you want it worded right after all), translate it into one of the magickal alphabets below and burn that instead. Think of all the extra energy!

As I've said, the more energy you raise/put into a spell, the better it will work - writing a spell in English uses some energy in the thinking up and writing of the words. Greek, obviously, is not composed of  English letters - it will be foreign to the majority of the people that visit this page. Because it is so foreign, translating a spell (written carefully in English first) into Greek letters puts much more effort and energy into the spell to be done - that's always good!

Below is an English-Greek letter chart (incidentally, the Greek font file is available for free here) - these are Greek capitals, because I personally think they're easier to write, but the font file can (obviously) do both upper and lower case. Be aware that the lower case letters are usually different to the capitals.

These are also called the Viking Runes, and are my favourite alternate script (as my rune stones are my favourite divination method). They are given the name Futhark runes after the first 6 runes, which in English spell out F-U-TH-A-R-K. These runes, like Theban script, are a foreign-looking alphabet (with the added bonus of not corresponding to just letters, but some sounds) and so will enhance any ritual burning of a written desire.

The Futhark runes are a Scandinavian system, used both to write and for divination (which we'll get to in a later section) in ancient times. The order in which the alphabet is written came about by chance, but the letters and sounds in the charts below are specific - the name of each rune begins with a very specific letter and possesses a pneumonic power. The font file for these runes is available for free here.

Malachim, obviously, is not composed of  English letters - a lot of people that visit this page will never have even seen it before. Because it is so foreign, translating a spell (written carefully in English first) into Malachim puts much more effort and energy into the spell to be done - that's always good!

Below is an English-Malachim letter chart (incidentally, the Malachim font file is available for free here). Both the lower case and upper case letters are written the same way - obviously, the capitals are written larger than the lower case letters. Note that some letters in Malachim have the same symbol - you can substitute these symbols with the same letter from another magickal alphabet, if you like.

Theban, obviously, is also not composed of  English letters - it will be completely new to a lot of people that visit this page. Because it is so unfamiliar, translating a spell (written carefully in English first) into Theban puts much more effort and energy into the spell to be done.

Below is an English-Theban letter chart (incidentally, the Theban font file is available for free here). Both the lower case and upper case letters are written the same way - obviously, the capitals are written larger than the lower case letters. Note that some letters in Theban have the same symbol - if you like, you can substitute these symbols with the same letter from another magickal alphabet.
