Editing Constructed writing system (section)

===For religious and mystical purposes===

Many scripts are created for religious or mystical purposes. Missionaries and religious scholars may be motivated to devise new scripts for previously-unwritten languages to facilitate the translation of religious writings, as was the case for several of the scripts mentioned in the previous section. Religious leaders may promulgate new writing systems among their followers for liturgical use and/or the promotion of cultural identity and unity, as with [[Sorang Sompeng script|Sorang Sompeng]],<ref name= "Sorang">{{cite web |first=Michael |last=Everson |author-link=Michael Everson |url=http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3647.pdf |title=Proposal for encoding the Sora Sompeng script in the UCS |date=2009-06-08|publisher=International Organization for Standardization |work=Working Group Document}}

Relatedly, [[Magical alphabet|some scripts]] are created for [[mysticism|mystical]] or [[Magic (supernatural)|magical]] uses, such as communication with purported spiritual entities. Such is the case with [[John Dee]] and [[Edward Kelley]]'s [[Enochian]] language and alphabet, the various scripts (including [[Celestial Alphabet|Celestial]], [[Malachim]], [[Theban alphabet|Theban]], and [[Transitus Fluvii]]) documented by [[Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa]] and his teacher [[Johannes Trithemius]], and possibly the ''litterae ignotae'' devised by [[Hildegard of Bingen]] to write her [[lingua ignota]].

Several of these scripts are described by their creators as having been revealed during or developed in response to [[Vision (spirituality)|visionary experiences]].<ref name="Sorang" /><ref name="Medefaidrin" /><ref name = "Leitch">{{cite book | last = Leitch | first = Aaron | title = The Angelical Language, Volume I: The Complete History and Mythos of the Tongue of Angels | publisher = Llewellyn Publications | location = Woodbury, MN | year = 2010a | isbn = 978-0738714905 }}</ref>
