These are wood-burnt; I'm not sure what the hardwood is--I purchased it for the meaningful shape. They are painted in colors that are meaningful to me in working with Goddess Fortuna, and the backs have flecks of copper leaf. They are in an Indian box, and I found this little tray, perhaps for a candle, with the alphabet around it that's perfect for displaying a single tile for contemplation or as a daily draw.
The English alphabet can be used in most of the ways other magical alphabet can be, and perhaps it should be explored more commonly and more heartily sacralized.
