Attempting to fix an approximate number to the arbitrary ciphers that might
be encountered in occult texts, I've consulted Gettings' _Dictionary of
Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils_, which records about 50 Western
'secret scripts' all of which appear to be ciphers of common scripts
(Latin, Hebrew or Greek).

I sometimes think that good readers are as singular,
