Magical alphabets actually enable seekers to experience a transformative process. This inner transformation is one of the main objectives of all esoteric traditions, and it can be accomplished by using any of the alphabet systems described in this book.

The author reveals how geomantic principles are rooted in the structure of the world, showing how they transcend the ages and are just as meaningful today as they were to our ancestors.
