Correspondence is a free and open-source text editor. It is written in C++ and is designed to be used as a tool in Chaos Magic.

Purpose

[edit]

Correspondence can toggle between sigils or normal text, and will encode and decode selected text in a file. The program makes use of an astrology cipher as a magical alphabet. The application of magical alphabets in chaos magic was described by Peter J. Carroll in his works "Liber Null" and "Psychonaut."

Alphabet

[edit]

The cipher used in Correspondence assigns specific symbols to each letter of the alphabet, correlating them with astrology. For instance, 'A' corresponds to the Sun symbol (☉), 'B' to the Full Moon (●), and so forth.

By leveraging familiar astrological symbols, the program bridges ancient mystical traditions with contemporary technological interfaces.

The program uses the following pattern of encoding:

A - Sun: ☉
B - Full Moon: ●
C - Waning Moon: ☾
D - Waxing Moon: ☽
E - New Moon: ○
F - Mercury: ☿
G - Venus: ♀
H - Earth: ♁
I - Mars: ♂
J - Jupiter: ♃
K - Saturn: ♄
L - Uranus: ♅
M - Neptune: ♆
N - Pluto: ♇
O - Aries: ♈︎
P - Taurus: ♉︎
Q - Gemini: ♊︎
R - Cancer: ♋︎
S - Leo: ♌︎
T - Virgo: ♍︎
U - Libra: ♎︎
V - Scorpio: ♏︎
W - Sagittarius: ♐︎
X - Capricorn: ♑︎
Y - Aquarius: ♒︎
Z - Pisces: ♓︎
