I think Enochian looks pretty descent. Don't You? And yes, Theban i= s a magickal script as well, though I strongly suspect it is a puzzle in its construction. It appears almost as if the single characters were made up= of two letters/symbols each. Maybe there was a chart of some sort which use that to help memorize the alphabet. And Theban on the other hand is pret= ty horrible, I agree. Enochian is the only worthwhile magickal script I've = ran into so far. I can, or at any rate could, read it by the way. Nice when You don't want people looking over Your shoulder. Sincerely, Roland H=F6nsch
