Hermeticism is all about Semiotics, as well as Ibn's Arabi's science of letters or Abhinavagupta on Vac and the power of the word.

The brain interprets sensory input through predictive models shaped by language and symbols. What we call “reality” is something already filtered and structured by the structure of the language we know. Semiotics, in this sense, studies the codes through which the brain organizes experience.

Magical practice operates on the same level: by deliberately altering symbols, language, and meanings you intervene in the very processes through which reality is perceived and enacted. So i guess in makes sense put together this topics, but just on surface level.

for example: Using dead languages or totally made up of languages during ritual helps to stop the ordinary connections between language and the world that surround us in order to create a place where new connection can be made, and that's where the magic happens
