Which Wiccan alphabet is on the outer?
I would think that the inner 8 symbols are spirits. Agreed?
Yes,with the exception of the symbols labeled "HOYI" & "EIOAW"- which are Runic in origin; I believe they represent spirits. The symbol labeled "HWEOI" might be an angle; I have seen it before but cannot find it. [Looking in the Key of Solomon at the moment.]
As to the alphabet used, I have identified letters and numerals corresponding to the following languages:
CELESTIAL ALPHABET [substitution]
MALACHUM WRITING
THEBAN ALPHABET [substitution]
NAGARI NUMERALS
SANSKRIT NUMBERS
I am still working on the translations. It is easer than I thought it would be; substitution of letters, as apposed to using the language- e.g. grammar, syntax, and spelling. But the necessity of using five reference texts is complicating matters.
I'm becoming more sure the Hebrew is not words but numbers, because it turns to gibberish- when the English is converted to Hebrew. Now I need to brush up on my Hebrew arithmetic… fun. (IMG:

Given the Jupiter and the correspondence to success, power, illumination and Neptune- who rules liberation, Victory- are placed before the lessened aspects of Pisces (secrets, and institutions) the purpose appears to be related to over coming one of these two. The symbol for disordered intellect or confused mental state would imply the former. Pisces is in the 12th house, which only further confirms this theory; because it is the last house (where all that came before is tallied, where one leaves for new beginnings) and its connection with the subconscious.
Up dates when I have them.
