Publisher Marketing: Literary Labyrinths and Magic Squares! Pennick examines in depth the alphabetical systems of the West, including Hebrew, Greek, Runic, Celtic, Medieval and the Renaissance alphabets of the alchemical tradition.

Using the premise that languages and the alphabets that comprise them are metaphorical microcosms of our world, Nigel Pennick demonstrates how various alphabets function as a metaphysical description of reality. Magical alphabets actually enable seekers to experience a transformative process. This inner transformation is one of the main objectives of all esoteric traditions, and it can be accomplished by using any of the alphabet systems described in this book.
