What is aramaic symbols?

Aramaic symbols are a set of ancient writings that were in use among the people of Mesopotamia, Syria, Persia, and other parts of the Middle East during the first century CE. Aramaic was the script used during the time of Jesus and can be seen in some of the early Christian texts.

The Aramaic alphabet comprises 22 letters, and it is a part of the Semitic family of writing systems which includes Hebrew, Arabic and Phoenician. In Aramaic, consonants are written from right to left, and vowels are indicated with diacritical marks and other optional signs above, below, or inside the consonants.

Some of the most important Aramaic symbols include the Tetragrammaton, an ancient name of God in Hebrew and Aramaic, which is usually written as four Hebrew letters (Yod, He, Vav, He). Other symbols include amulets, talismans, and magical seals, which were often inscribed with Aramaic lettering.

Aramaic symbols are still used today by some Jewish and Christian communities. They are also popular among people practicing Kabbalah, an esoteric Jewish belief system, and in certain magical and ritualistic practices. Some modern-day Aramaic speakers in the Middle East and India still use the Aramaic alphabet and language for daily communication.
