Chapter 4
The earliest known alphabet is known as the Phoenician Alphabet. This alphabet, dating back to at least 1050 B.C.E., contains ancient forms of most of the letters that we use today.
Incantations are almost always one or two words long. Most incantations we will cover have Latin origins and originate within Europe.
