The Daggers alphabet or The Alphabet of Daggers, is a cypher based on the Latin alphabet used for magical purposes. Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, novelist and painter, claimed that this alphabet came to him in a vision. It first appeared in Crowley's 1911 book The Vision and the Voice in a section entitled The Cry of the 19th Aethyr, Which is Called POP in which he wrote:
At first there is a black web over the face of the stone. A ray of light pierces it from behind and above. Then cometh a black cross, reaching across the whole stone; then a golden cross, not so large. And there is a writing in an arch that spans the cross, in an alphabet in which the letters are all formed of little daggers, cross-hilted, differently arranged. And the writing is: Worship in the body the things of the body; worship in the mind the things of the mind; worship in the spirit the things of the spirit.
(This holy alphabet must be written by sinners, that is, by those who are impure.)
