The Theban alphabet is a writing system of unknown origin. It was first published in Johannes Trithemius' Polygraphia (1518), in which it was attributed to Honorius of Thebes. Trithemius' student Agrippa (1486-1535) attributed it to Pietro d'Abano (1250-1316). It is also known as the Honorian Alphabet, the Runes of Honorius after the legendary magus (It is not, however, a runic alphabet) or the Witches' (Wiccan) Alphabet due to its use in modern Wicca and other forms of witchcraft as a substitution cipher to hide magical writings such as the contents of a Book of Shadows.
