Question: Can you please assist with the translation of the following phrase into Hieroglyphs and Hermetic Egyptian scripts? "god is love" I look forward to your reply and thank you for your co-operation.

Answer: Sorry, I do not know the Hermetic script (but I do know the Hieroglyphs). The flag alone is an abbreviated form of the word for "god". You could add the determinative for "god" which is a seated man with a beard, although it is not necessary. The flag alone for "god" is carved on tomb walls everywhere. "Love" is the plough or hoe (mer) with or without the lips (r) as a phonetic complement. The determinative for "love" is the seated person with hand to mouth signifying emotion. You can (also) find translator programs on the web which will give you the words in simple uniliteral alphabet letters if that would suit your purpose.
