The Language of the Birds
Sunday July 6, 2008
Both "green language" and the "language of the Birds" refer to the oblique writing styles used by alchemists, magicians, and other mystical initiates to communicate with one another publicly while 'concealing' the information from the hostile or unworthy.
In short, it is a method of symbolic writing which appears opaque or unintelligible unless one has the necessary understanding of its symbolism to interpret it.

My Grandfather, from Poland, always used to tell me that our native tongue, Polish, was “The language of the Birds.”
Hmmmmm.
Interesting, I hadn’t heard that before…
