The Theban Alphabet also known as the Witches Alphabet or the Runes of Honorius Calling this alphabet runic is erroneous - runes are straight-edged - and there's no evidence of this system being associated with witches before the 20th century. How old it really is is unknown. It is first mentioned in Cornelius Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy published in Antwerp in 1531, attributing them to one "Honorius of Thebes." This is assumed to be reference to the author of Liber Juratus, or the Sworne Booke of Honorius, yet the letters never appear in the the Liber Juratus. If the alphabet is his, it apparently appeared in a work that no longer exists. (The better-known Grimoire of Honorius is a 17th-century forgery) The character for "W" shown below is not part of the original alphabet. Indeed, the absence of unique characters for "J", "U" and "W" indicate a possible connection with the pre-11th centur...

DIY Pandora-Inspired Bracelet I’ve always liked the looks of the Pandora bracelets, but the price is just outrageous to me.  I came across the Mix & Mingle line while shopping at consumercrafts.com These are very easy and not near the price, plus you put more of your energy in them which makes them more magickal. Now here are the instructions that I found online but you can do your own style. This is a bracelet that anyone can make.  If I thought I actually had any manly-man-type readers, I would tell them, impress the woman in your life by making her a charm bracelet like this one because it is seriously SO easy!  But, I think given my readership… you ladies will be making these for yourselves. ;) I used a couple types of beads, the Mix & Mingle and some plain metal spacer beads.  I opted for the twist-end cuff to put them on (but there is a more traditional snake chain bracelet available too). I chose the small cuff bec...

The creation and application of talismans is a vital part of the magical art, which this article aims to examine at a level suitable for the novice, or those with a limited knowledge of such things. A talisman can be well defined as a material object that holds an inward spiritual or occult power, with the aim of conveying this essence upon the creator to aid in personal transformation.
