in case anyone’s gonna get a tattoo in Wakandan or write fan fiction or whatever
PAN-AFRICAN POP CULTURE MAGIC:
WAKANDAN AS A MAGICAL WRITING SYSTEM
The Afrocentric alternative to Theban script is finally here!!! Having a special writing system for incantations, sigils, and magical journals or dairies is incredibly useful. Theban and other scripts like it all mostly come from European occult traditions. Meanwhile, the Wakandan script is essentially Pan-African in nature, drawing inspiration from many different writing systems of Africa languages and cultures.
Another bonus with Wakanda’s writing system is that it’s fictional and takes us into the realm of pop culture magic. In this case, that means using the Pan-African Wakandan script isn’t culturally appropriative, which could be an issue with actively borrowing existing African writing systems. I don’t know about yalls, but I’ve been so excited for the whole Wakandan script to be released! :D
Possible Magic Uses of Wakandan:
- Alongside Adinkra symbols, use Wakandan to create Afrocentric sigils - For writing on petition papers or name papers - Use it to keep the contents of your magical books or journals secret - Write it on labels for things if you keep your craft undercover
