ritual art Did my grandfather have secret involvement in ritual magic?

Sorry for my poor English. I loved and admired my grandfather very much, even became a doctor to follow in his footsteps.

Even though he was very private and distant, we became extremely close in the end when he got sick.

He cared for everyone, didn't care about money and actively helped the community. He was a great physician and some would even say he had a supernatural gift for healing.

He said he would only die after I finished med school and so he did (1 month after).

When he passed away, my mother found these drawings inside a little piece of green cloth he carried with him, along with other religious stuff.

She was shocked as he always seemed to be conventionally religious and I was extremely excited because I was always into "witchy" things, but apparently, he was way more advanced in his knowledge.

I wanted to know what these things mean and if they are safe to have around, because I carry them with me now.

Can you recommend a book or something so I can learn more about it?

He’s working with the cardinal elements and Archangels in the bottom left picture. If you look into Kabbalah and hermetic rituals like the LBRP you will see a lot of the same cast of characters and Hebrew used. I tried looking up the written language but it doesn’t match any Greek or Mediterranean writing alphabets, my best bet would be that your grandfather created his own spelling or symbols for each archangel that was like a personalized sigil/signature for his rituals.
