From the magickal philosophies of Chaos Magick, an Alphabet of Desire is a set of personal magickal symbols that describe or trigger aspects of the practitioner's personality.
Generally, much like basic sigils, AoDs are images, but they can be any type of symbol (e.g., audio, mantra, etc.)
You can make an Alphabet of Desire either formally (ritually), or you can just let it naturally form through repetition or random drawings. It’s not even necessary to define the elements of the AoD outside of the ritual space. See, the CONSCIOUS mind doesn’t have to know the meanings of the alphabet since it’s both created and used during altered states of consciousness.
Each letter represents a power or energy that the practitioner wants to recognize within his/her deep psyche. So, basically, you determine your desire and then use automatic drawing until an ideograph* is created.
Letters from this alphabet can then be combined to form a sigil that further defines your desire, can represent a new desire, or can even be made into the shape of a servitor.
*Ideograph: A picture or symbol used in a system of writing to represent a thing or an idea but not a particular word or phrase; one that represents not the object pictured but some thing or idea that the object pictured is supposed to suggest.
