THE MAGICAL PAPYRI & THEURGY · LESSON 2 OF 6 · 15 MIN
Words of Power and the Seven Vowels
The "barbarous names", the Ephesian letters, wing-shaped words and the seven vowels of the planets — and how to sound them.
Open any page of the magical papyri and you meet strings of words that belong to no language: ABLANATHANALBA, AKRAMMACHAMAREI, SESENGENBARPHARANGES. These are the voces magicae — "magical words" — or, in the older phrase, the barbarous names.
