This page groups individual letters by the alphabet each one belongs to. Wikipedia notes that "the Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters," a fixed and closed set that other alphabets used in divination and mysticism each match with their own fixed count. Browsing by alphabet lets a visitor find every letter from the same alphabet.

What Defines This GroupingSourced to the subject's own accountTwenty-one letters received by Edward Kelley and recorded by John Dee. Unlike the ciphers beside it, it is presented by its receivers as the script of a language of its own: the received order is not the Latin order, and the sequence opens at Pa, which answers to the Latin B. 2 Size of the Traditional SetSourced to the subject's own account Origins

The Enochian letters
This group holds the letters of the Enochian alphabet, the script of the Enochian system of angel magic received by the Elizabethan scholar John Dee and the scryer Edward Kelley in the 1580s, who recorded it as an angelic language revealed in their sessions. It was later taken up by the Golden Dawn and by Aleister Crowley.
The browser will find the individual letters and their meanings. The atlas presents the alphabet as a historical artifact of Dee and Kelley's work and its later magical use, describing each letter within that tradition.
