St Hildegard von Bingen’s Litterae Ignotae, an alphabet of her crafted mystical language Lingua Ignota. She was a 12th century nun, a mystic who experienced visions from God, a writer, and a composer of hymns.

Venusian Credo

Based roughly on Litterae Ignotae

[queerasfact]

Was Anne Lister’s gay code not enough for you? Good news! 12th century nun Hildegard of Bingen (also likely queer), invented Litterae Ignotae, her very own alphabet designed for writing in her own constructed language, Lingua Ignota.

You can find a glossary of many Lingua Ignota words here, and use the key above to start writing coded notes to your friends!

And if you want to know more about Hildegard, check out our podcast!

Writing Systems--Celestial

Unlike the previous writing systems I’ve posted, this one is really just a cipher of the Roman alphabet. It’s also not D&D specific, but rather an alphabet created for a personal secret language. Oh, and it’s from the twelfth century.

Hildegard of Bingen is a fascinating historical figure for many reasons, but one of the things she’s remembered for is her Lingua Ignota, Latin for “Unknown Language.” This is one of the earliest known constructed languages, created for personal use and spiritual edification. Lingua Ignota is essentially a partial cipher of Latin, maintaining the grammar and much of the vocabulary but substituting many of the nouns with words of her own creation (a glossary of the words is available here).

Hildegard called this script the Litterae Ignotae, or “Unknown Letters.” It’s a fun constructed alphabet to play around with, and easy to use as a cipher for languages that use the Roman alphabet, especially Latin. I like using the Lingua and Litterae Ignotae for Celestial because many of the words we have glosses of are religious in nature, and because I know enough Latin that coming up with short texts in “Celestial” isn’t difficult for me. If you want to use Latin as a mystical language in your campaign, you can use this alphabet to encode it even if you aren’t making use of Hildegard’s lexicon.

@onpyre love that you brought up that vincente changrettq scene. it is so important wrt this conversation: he has every reason to want to torture that man in his grief, but he cannot bring himself to do it. it’s also inline with the way arthur protects tommy… arthur can’t take care of himself or make big decisions or even fucking read a eulogy, but he can take on more violence for tommy. he can always take on more violence for him…

yeaaaah that scene is so complex to me. I actually think it's less that he can't bring himself to do it than he wants so badly to do it and for it to last that he can't bring himself to start. i think he basically cracked there and was pretty close to losing his mind, and this time because of the circumstances he does not care. he wants to lose it. he's fully prepared to give into it at last. it's the freedom, the madness, the killing, that tatiana talks about being his weakness. And that's what freaks out Arthur and John. I think Arthur and John are much more immediate about their enjoyment of violence, despite the fact that it does bother Arthur and he does struggle with it, it seems like a different kind of struggle. Arthur feels like he sins against God, Tommy feels like he will finally lose his mind and become a monster. Maybe.

@merhige and @litterae-ignotae have made some really great posts about that scene that get into other aspects of it, about how the whole thing also comes across as Tommy reenacting some kind of trauma (his beating by Sabini at the very least) but that's beyond the scope of this post to get into.

@onpyre i think of the scene after tommy killed the italians is season 4 and how arthur was talking about tommy’s hands shaking and taking him for a drink… and then in the wine cellar after ruby’s funeral, letting tommy win that fight. not to derail from tommy and the thrill he gets, it’s just interesting how for all arthur’s abdication of responsibility, in this one way he takes control. and maybe that’s to keep tommy strong and in charge, directing the family, but i don’t think it’s that simple.

Arthur is interesting because he vacillates between playing that role, and abdicating it. Tommy has to beg him to do it on the night of his wedding, that's not a time when Arthur was willing to step into that role for his brother. Ultimately he did, but it was only after an argument with Tommy and a flipping of the coin. I'm not arguing that he should have stepped up then, just that Arthur can be really inconsistent about how he approaches being protective or caretaking of Tommy, or however you want to phrase it.

Though it's possible we're talking about two different things here?

Between Hildegard von Bingen’s litterae ignotae and the Cistercian numeral system, I really don’t need to make sense to anyone anymore.

[jessaerys]

@litterae-ignotae obsessed with the library's first result

[litterae-ignotae]

@litterae-ignotae @deadendtracks  your theory that tommy was taken/sent away as a kid is gaining more momentum ...

audrey and vincente changretta acting like tommy is a stranger to them, as opposed to arthur and john, because they literally didn't know him (at a crucial time)

oh i’m already sold on that theory, i subscribe to it 100% now. it just makes sense.

[amourduloup]

YOURE literae igneote?? That was my first blog of your sort that I followed I love it lol that makes so much sense

yeah! a friend of mine once talked about litterae-ignotae to me not knowing it was me ksksks i made it mostly to post fandom stuff that i didn't necessarily want on my main blog, but also to have a different dashboard following more fandom inclined blogs. but ultimately i kept posting fandom stuff everywhere anyway.
