question about magickal languages ...

[nashiitashii]

Ok, I'm in search of a good website that does show some magickal languages. You know, not an actual language like French or something with different words and grammar and stuff, but a separate glyph system. Thanks ahead of time for those who help. :D

Five doesn't understand the question.

[Minxsmom]

Do you mean runes and the like?

[Trout Mask Replica]

You mean something like runes (http://w1.2777.telia.com/~u222200871/eindex.htm)?

[Akatsukami]

I think that Winchell Chung's Home Page (http://www.clark.net/pub/nyrath/home.html) is the sort of thing that you're looking for. Of course, I could be as badly confused as Five, and simply not realize it.

Here is the Magickal Alphabet.

This is a good site, too:

Here's a magic enchantment that really works. If you say the word "Frumbletryft" every morning, between sunup and noon, every day for 36,525 days... you'll live to be 100 years old.

You can find a good site on the Enochian magical language/alphabet right here. (http://members.cts.com/king/s/saoirse/EnochianMagickFrameSet.html)

[Dijon Warlock]

Well...sort of a good one. Here's another one (http://www.occultique.com/Enochian/index.html) that has translations of the calls into the Enochian language, and here is the complete list (http://nav.webring.yahoo.com/hub?ring=enochian&list) of sites for this language.
There, now I feel a bit better.

Here is one more (http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/cassidy/pantographia.html) that I remembered, which contains several Chaldean alphabets. These crop up as "magical" alphabets in many of the standard grimoires ("Greater Key of Solomon", Barrett's "Magus", etc.).

[Chronos]

What, no mention of Tengwar (http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/9902/)? What is this board coming to?

[Dijon Warlock]

Ah, but was Tengwar really a magical language, or was it simply used by magical beings? Vast, vast difference, you know...

...or maybe not...

On a side note, I actually invented a magical alphabet of my own; but there is currently no image of it on the net. Owes a lot to the "regular" letters of the Tengwar, which was the first phonetically arranged alphabet I'd ever seen. Had a major influence on all of my subsequent designs.

[Qadgop the Mercotan]

Well the Tengwar was used to write Valinorean, which I realize is just hopped up Quenya, spoken by the Valar. But Mithrandir spoke words of power in that language, as did Glorfindel, and even Frodo and Sam used the language to daunt their foes in Cirith Ungol, so I'd have to say that the language retains its magic even when used by mortals.

Thanks everyone. I copied a few of the alphabets down by hand in a notebook, being cautious to stay away from the Theban. [One of my friends writes in Theban, and I really don't want to invade her privacy by having knowledge of it.] I'm also downloading Tengwar for my computer. This should prove to be interesting...
