Tanner out of interest, with Qabalah, since we are on the subject of magic and all. I assume you have learned the Hebrew Aleph Bet, i am in the process of learning it and have come to an interesting point of the different uses of writing the letters. In the Hermetic tradition the book print is used but i find this difficult to reproduce on paper without going to the extent of calligraphy (which i did buy a set of pens and soon discovered that its fairly difficult thing to do) so in turn i have resulted to using the manual print of the words, which is the closes to the book print possible and if any visualization are required to stick to the book print. I found it interesting that the Lurianic Kabbalah makes use of the Cursive rather than the book print. I guess ultimately it doesn't matter as much as the values that are given to the letters but i feel that if the effort is to be made to put them to memory for quick reference and to have a fuller understanding of the Qabalah, it might as well be done correctly.
