Theban alphabet (Omniglot writing-systems reference)

This is a self-published web reference maintained by Simon Ager on Omniglot, a long running catalogue of writing systems, and this record holds it at the tier for a working reference rather than an outside scholarly authority: it documents the Theban alphabet's one to one Latin correspondence, its treatment of j and u, its left to right direction and its modern witchcraft use as a practical, checkable description of the script's current form and use, not as historical scholarship on the script's own origin. Use it to establish the alphabet's modern letter correspondences and current occult use; a claim about the script's documented historical origin and its ascription to Honorius of Thebes needs the primary and critical sources on that specific question, Trithemius's Polygraphiae and Peterson's edition of the Sworn Book, addressed directly.
