Passing of the River script, described by Agrippa in 'Of Occult Philosophy', English edition

Transitus Fluvii ("passing through the river" in Latin), or Passage Du Fleuve (in French), is an occult alphabet consisting of 22 characters described by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa in his Third Book of Occult Philosophy (1513). It is derived from the Hebrew alphabet^[1], and is similar to the Celestial and Malachim alphabets. The name may refer to crossing of the Euphrates by the Jews on their return from Babylon to rebuild the Temple.^[2]

Appearances in Popular Culture

The alphabet is depicted in the movie The Blair Witch Project.
