Timely and well written. Judith Dillon casts her eye over the great mystery of communication in a magical way that sends you on a quest through the very meaning of the alphabet. We give little thought to the letters we use every day, but they are tools for magic, for mystery, and for our communion with each other. Next time you use your keyboard, look down at the individual letters and ask yourself 'Where did they come from?' This book will give you the answer. Informative, lucid, and captivating.

Synopsis
Reveals the esoteric mysteries encoded in the order of the alphabet * Explores the secrets hidden in our alphabet and how each letter represented a specific stage on the alchemical path toward enlightenment * Divides our alphabet's sequence of letters into three distinct parts: the first representing Earth and the natural year, the second the Underworld and the hero's journey, and the third the Heavens and astronomical cycles * Reveals how the ancient secrets encoded in the numerical order of the alphabet can be found in Mystery Traditions and divination systems throughout the world Our alphabet hides a Mystery older than its magic of turning sound into shapes. Secrets lie in the choice of objects chosen to represent early alphabet letters and their order, a pattern inherited by numerous traditions, an alchemical spell to return the sun from the dark and guide the soul toward enlightenment. Revealing the spell hidden in our alphabet, Judith Dillon explores the importance of the placement of each letter in early alphabets and how each letter represented a specific step on the alchemical path of self-transformation. She investigates the alphabet's spread around the world, beginning in Egypt and then spreading through Hebrew, Greek, and other ancient systems of writing and divination. These include Germanic Runes, Celtic Oghams, Tarot cards, the I Ching, and the wisdom of Mother Goose. Comparing the mythic attributes of many traditions, the author reveals the commonality of a numerical placement of symbols and how the hidden message was adapted by multiple peoples using objects and shapes from their own traditions. Examining the esoteric wisdom encoded in the alphabet, Dillon divides the numerical sequence of letters into three distinct parts. The first family of letters represents the Earth and describes the cycle of the natural year. The second family represents the Underworld and symbolizes the hero's journey through judgments and death into the light of day. The third represents the Heavens and its astronomical cycles. Together, our alphabet symbols are a spell of alchemical stages on a path toward the light. Hidden in plain sight, our alphabet represents a transmission of ancient wisdom, the great alchemical Mystery of transforming dark earth into shining gold, of releasing the soul from the bonds of matter into the gold of enlightenment., Reveals the esoteric mysteries encoded in the order of the alphabet - Explores the secrets hidden in our alphabet and how each letter represented a specific stage on the alchemical path toward enlightenment - Divides our alphabet's sequence of letters into three distinct parts: the first representing Earth and the natural year, the second the Underworld and the hero's journey, and the third the Heavens and astronomical cycles - Reveals how the ancient secrets encoded in the numerical order of the alphabet can be found in Mystery Traditions and divination systems throughout the world Our alphabet hides a Mystery older than its magic of turning sound into shapes.

Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (N° 396183075510)

They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
