What on earth is this? (Found outside my house)

[brooklyn66]

Yesterday came home to find a bit of folded-up paper wedged in a crack in the fence wall bit (pavement goes right past it). Opened it up to find 2x2p coins inside unrecognisable writing - see pic!
What is this?

This is fascinating.

I just had a look at the Klingon alphabet (I used to work with a man who studied it - I know nothing about Star Trek!) and it could possibly be that?

I've heard of people pushing coins into wood to take away illness.

It's a gypsy's spell. Something similar was left in the village a few years ago.

Asemic writing? Could be a spell, my mother used 2p coins in charms to bring luck with money to the recipient, was there anything else with the package? A thread or hair?

Well, I've followed every post on this thread and started out convinced the note was hypergraphia, written by someone with schizophrenia but after so many posts commenting about spells and it being the time of the new moon or whatever, I am now firmly on the fence between those two options.

I'm very much convinced that it's not any conventional language. Surely between MN and Reddit, someone would have piped up with what language it is by now.

Years ago I found a letter in my postbox, no stamp, with a poem inside declaring their undying love for me. I was 56 at the time ! I never found out who put it there, but I suspect it was a schoolboy prank. Maybe this is the same?

an attempt at spirit writing? where you go into a trance and let the pen be taken over by the "spirit" that you're trying to communicate with?

I hope this is not a wind up and there is some profound cause because I have invested much more of my day googling this than I care to admit

Weird.....

I've read this note too many times, there are definite recognisable words but concerningly I keep seeing 'I am not ok' don't usually get this involved in threads but this one has got under my skin for some reason. Another post was linked to this one about a woman writing a shopping list and sticking it in a wall, was it a wind up?

Still going?! No graphologists pages on fb or something you could ask? I would use advance search to see if that's been suggested but it's still down .. (Mutters to self..)

I really don't think this is Wiccan. It's certainly not written in Theban (which actually goes back over 500 years so it predates Wicca by a long way).

Could be a charm I guess but I'd use silver coins rather than copper.

Totally intrigued.

It's not Georgian

I have no idea but I'm totally fascinated, and need to know the answer!

No idea! Def. not Japanese, though.

So I haven't read the whole thread because Ive had a lot of wine but this looks like maybe Welsh in joined up writing by someone quite old. My nan used to write just like this it was a bloody nightmare but the way I learnt over the years to translate her was to write what she had put myself, as you trace the shapes you can see what letters she was making. Obviously rules for joined up writing the pen doesnt leave the paper I believe so letters look different.
Everything I can see easily comes up as Welsh on Google translate.
So there is 'fo' quite a lot, 2nd word and 6th word and a few others. In Welsh thats 'an' which would make sense with placements.
6th line down first two words are 'I ar' which is 'to on' in Welsh

First line of second paragraph looks like 'fo ocr glo' which in Welsh is 'an ocher coal' ocher in Welsh also means yellow hue or something.
The image is really blurry when I zoom in on my phone so I can't get see much else maybe the wine! but OP if you go through each letter I reckon you will probably find its a lovely poem in Welsh by some old dear

Mightymidge. Welsh actually makes sense to me. There are a lot of English words in there that the Welsh don't have a word for so they use the English words.
I can pick out the words dress, so and freeze among others.

Breaking a huge MN thread etiquette rule, but there's 500+ comments and I am tired.

This looks like something I'd have done when I was a kid, written a big letter in joined up writing that made no sense, but didn't need to because it was part of the game.

I was probably a secret agent and had to leave my accomplice some very valuable old coins in an inconspicuous place with a coded letter containing instructions.

OP it looks like it could be Hindi writing

Interesting!

Villager yeah I thought that too, will take another look sober tomorrow if no one has cracked it but the more you look at it the more welsh it looks! Definitely think it's someone 70+ from the writing style as well. Think it's sweet not creepy though! Bet it's some old dear writing a poem/letter to an old lover or family member or something sweet!

OP why don't you put something back in the crack an equally gibberish note with a couple of 5p's and see what happens? Up the ante.

The words look like tee-line shorthand, and if you look carefully, there seems to be a lot of repetition. So, it could possible be someone's shorthand practice notes?

You need these people. archaeologicalmuseum.jhu.edu/the-collection/object-stories/an-unpublished-magic-spell-from-late-antiquity/

Looks right to left to me.

Definitely not Hungarian! I was thinking Middle Eastern language?Very creepy!

I really hope you work this out it's so intreguing! I'm guessing this is a language that should be read from right to left because of the margin and hole punch placement?

Either that or it's very late and I'm reading far too much into this!
