Words or names of power written in letters of a magic alphabet are thought to hold a greater charge of force than those same words or names written in common letters used for everyday communication.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.donaldtyson.com/letters.html"><P>The second reason is for concealment. Magic alphabets are usually unreadable to the average person. A charm can be written in a magic alphabet, and anyone who happens to see the charm, unless he or she is a magician, will have no idea what it means, or even that it is a talisman.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.donaldtyson.com/letters.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.donaldtyson.com/img/225F138C-B3BC-4523-8D68-08F92428B610" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.donaldtyson.com/letters.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.donaldtyson.com/img/10D4AC02-4CA4-4BCB-AD50-3BB0E50D2EE8" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.donaldtyson.com/letters.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.donaldtyson.com/img/F896506F-2F24-487F-BA73-1BE648183BE7" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.donaldtyson.com/letters.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.donaldtyson.com/img/D4A3D419-E1CC-4BEA-984C-6D7AD31DDC14" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.donaldtyson.com/letters.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.donaldtyson.com/img/9E62FF3F-EDC6-48C6-BE8F-0A6673055743" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F449B060-CBE2-43BA-8E67-D164029D73B4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
