Grimoire Prompt Four - Make an Entry Using the Theban Alphabet
The idea for this prompt was mostly for fun to begin with, but I really enjoyed it and it sort of turned into an act of worship.
I find the Theban Alphabet (see image above for the key!) a bit pretentious to write in, but it does look very cool and ‘magical’, so I thought it would be a fun prompt. To begin with I was just going to write something silly like a limerick with it, and then whoever deciphered it at whatever point in time, could have a laugh.
However, as I was working on the background for my pages, this didn’t feel right anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for humour and frequently laugh in rituals and so on (reverence and mirth!), and the Grimoire can absolutely be a place where you include humour, but on this occasion, I wanted it to be more serious all of a sudden.
So I chose another phrase, and settled on:
The Goddess is part of you - always remember to have faith.
I thought that if someone deciphers this in the future, whether it is an initiate who has inherited my Grimoire, or someone who finds it somehow as a historical document (how cool would that be?!), then this phrase would have a meaning to them as it does to me.
So that is the prompt and challenge for this week!
Make an entry in your Grimoire, using the Theban Alphabet. You don’t need to illustrate it of course, that’s just what I like to do.
Post the results, and show me how it goes! I’ll track the tag ‘scandi-priestess’ to keep an eye out!
