Behind the scene...

From the exhibit ‘DADA 1916: The Birth of Anti-Art’

Santa Giulia Museum, Brescia, Italy, December 2016

Le sursaut de rage qui me maintient debout, inconsolable et imperturbable, au centre d'un tourbillon émotionnel ne me fournit jamais le remède approprié à la plaie. Rien ne m'ôtera l'idée peu rassurante que je viens de regresser dans la barbarie, armé d'une raideur d'emprunt et affectant le matamore. On ne remporte sur soi que des victoires à la Pyrrhus.

Raoul Vaneigem, Le Chevalier, la Dame, le Diable et la Mort.

Magi, Alphabet of the

Celestial Alphabet/Angelic Script (not to be confused with John Dee's Enochian alphabet)

Passing the River/Passage du Fleuve/Transitus Fluvii

Masonic/Rosicrucian/Pigpen Cipher/Tic-Tac-Toe Cipher

Tengwar script (for Tolkien’s Elvish languages)

Angerthas/Certhas/Cirth (for Tolkien’s Dwarven languages)

Celestial Alphabet/Angelic Script, Malachim, and Passing the River were made up by 16th century German alchemist/astrologer/lawyer/magician/occultist/soldier/theologist Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. Theban was created by 15th century German cryptographer/historian/lexicographer/occultist/theologian Johannes Trithemius, one of Agrippa’s teachers. The Alphabet of the Magi was created by 16th century Swiss German alchemist/astrologer/botanist/occultist/physician/toxicologist Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (aka Paracelsus), another of Trithemius’s students, who rejected Agrippa’s magical theories.

Those, and the two Tolkien made, are entirely fictional and are good to use in most any context. All the others are real alphabets from real cultures — some still used today — so be VERY aware of and careful with them.
