The runic alphabets are also fairly commonly used by witches. Elder Futhark is a great one to begin with.

Theban looks great, but I cannot comit it to memory and have go look up the letters every time I use it.

The ogham alphabet isn't inherently magical. I mean, it's not used for primarily magic, like something like theban, which tended to be used in occult works and many use as a cipher these days. Ogham was used on monuments, other documents, and so on, like most other alphabets. Any other alphabet could be worked into a magical system. The Greek alphabet can be used, there is a method of divination using it. Egyptian hieroglyphs could be used in magic easily. All depends on what you're looking to do.

I’ve looked up a couple to use. Mostly ogham shows up. I’m looking for one to write spells and etc because I’m in the broom closet. I always doubt if I’ve wrote it correctly or I have wrote gibberish.
