Product Description
Sterling Silver Handfasting Theban Pentacle Wedding Ring (sz 4-15) sz 13: Jewelry. It was first published in Johannes Trithemius' Polygraphia (1518), in which it was attributed to Honorius of Thebes. As one heart is written on the outside in Theban and in English on the interior of the band. The Theban alphabet is a writing system with unknown origins. Trithemius' student Agrippa (1486-1535) attributed it to Pietro d'Abano (1250-1316).[1] It is also known as the Honorian Alphabet or the Runes of Honorius after the legendary magus (Theban is not, however, a runic alphabet), or the Witches' Alphabet due to its use in modern Wicca and other forms of witchcraft as one of many substitution ciphers to hide magical writings such as the contents of a Book of Shadows from prying eyes.
