Dumezil, Georges. Archaic Roman Religion. Baltimore and London: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1996. Dee and Kelly were the pioneers who blazed the trail. Along the trail of forgotten and lost knowledge were the Four Watchtowers of the Universe. These Watchtower Tablets were adapted by Mathers to represent the Four Elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth. At the heart of each Elemental Tablet lies the Great Central Cross, consisting of two central vertical columns known as Linea Patris and Linea Filii, and a central horizontal line called Linea Spiritus Sancti. The exact significance of the Great Central Cross can vary among interpretations of Enochian magic.

( Wikipedia.org) Enochian Calls: The recitation of a set of conjurations or invocations known as the Enochian Calls. These calls are believed to invoke angelic energies that can aid in healing.

At its height it probably had no more than a hundred members. Yet its influence on magic and esoteric thought in the English-speaking world would be hard to overestimate." USA: Quest Books. In the year of 1581 through the extraordinary efforts of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelly, the secrets that were lost with the patriarch of the Bible known as Enoch were returned to those who thirst for the knowledge of Light. Dee kept close records of their intensive work. Although some of Dee's work has been lost, much of it is to be found in Sloane Documents 3188, 3189, 3191, 3677, and 3679. These documents are to be found at the British Museum in London. Due to the loss of parts of John Dee’s original manuscripts, interpretations have arisen regarding the meaning, validity, and authenticity behind the Enochian language. His next experience of them came in 1909 in North Africa when he and his assistant Victor Neuberg invoked the Demon Choronzon. Despite the importance given the Keys by the Golden Dawn, which taught them to all adepts, there is no evidence that anyone but Crowley ever actually worked with them; they were appreciated in theory but not in practice. Enochian magic has been revived and is practiced in more recent times by other occultists. The Golden Dawn has done the most work in making Enochian into an easily workable system. Before the use by the GD, there was not any easily accessible information on the system. Mathers did an excellent job at understanding the manuscripts and compiling the data. Also, it seems that if the GD had not popularized the system, that it may not have been as widely used and understood today. It was the publishing of the Enochian tablets and the calls that sparked many people's interest in the system. The GD use of the Enochian tablets is a very well organized system in which they put into a structure that most people could understand. The Golden Dawn took the Enochian system and mixed it with their own Kabbalistic rituals; I believe that this correlation is what helped many to understand the system and how to use it. The GD also had an excellent system for the use of, and organization of the calls. The only shortcomings of the GD Enochian system is that it does not necessarily correlate with how Dee and Kelly interpreted the watchtowers. Also, the GD did not use the original colour scheme for the tablets, but altered them to fit their elemental colour correspondences.The goal of Ancient Origins is to highlight recent archaeological discoveries, peer-reviewed academic research and evidence, as well as offering alternative viewpoints and explanations of science, archaeology, mythology, religion and history around the globe. Since Dee claimed to have received Enochian from the angels it is often referred to as the “language of the angels” and is believed, by some, to possess potent spiritual and magical properties. As an actual language, Enochian itself consists of an alphabet with its own series of 21 letters, sounds, and words.
The Thirty Aethyrs are an integral part of the Enochian magical system, representing a sequence of spiritual planes or realms that practitioners explore as they ascend from 30 ( TEX, the lowest) to 1 ( LIL, the highest). In the practice of Enochian magic, magicians document their visions, experiences, and impressions within each successive Aethyr, marking their progression through this mystical hierarchy.

Enochian Sigils: Using specific Enochian symbols or sigils associated with healing to draw or visualize while vocalizing sounds or utterances. The grammar is for the most part without articles or prepositions. [5] [26] Adjectives are quite rare. [27] Aaron Leitch identifies several affixes in Enochian, including -o (indicating 'of') and -ax (which functions like -ing in English). [28] Leitch observes that, unlike English, Enochian appears to have a vocative case, citing Dee's note in the margin of the First Table of Loagaeth [29] – "Befes the vocative case of Befafes".

The holy creatures deemed him worthy to visit the heavens, to see the choirs of angels, the Throne of God, and the celestial tablets. From them, Enoch transcribed 366 earthly books of wisdom, with which he hoped to restore humanity to its former glory. But, alas, Enoch's wisdom was soon lost in the Great Deluge that destroyed the world. John Dee performing an experiment before Queen Elizabeth I.

Since horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, in his short work "The History of the Necronomicon" (written 1927, published after Lovecraft's death, in 1938), made John Dee the translator of one of the versions of his mythical book of forbidden lore, The Necronomicon (an example of Lovecraft's use of the technique of "pseudo-authenticity"), much has been written connecting Dee and Enochian magic with The Necronomicon. The fanciful connection between Dee and The Necronomicon was suggested by Lovecraft's friend Frank Belknap Long. [41] See also [ edit ] Dee, John (2003), Peterson, Joseph H. (ed.), John Dee's Five Books of Mystery: Original Sourcebook of Enochian Magic, Boston: Weiser Books, ISBN 978-1-57863-178-0 . From the collected works known as Mysteriorum libri quinque.According to Tobias Churton in his text The Golden Builders, [7] the concept of an Angelic or antediluvian language was common during Dee's time. If one could speak the language of angels, it was believed one could directly interact with them. The texts in the Loagaeth show patterning "characteristically found in certain types of meaningless language (such as glossolalia), which is often produced under conditions similar to trance. In other words, Kelley may have been 'speaking in tongues'. [...] there is no evidence that these early invocations are any form of 'language' [...] at all. [36] Dictionaries [ edit ] The nineteenth key is specifically used to open gateways to the Thirty Aethyrs. [28] The Aethyrs are envisioned as concentric rings that expand outward from the innermost Aethyr to the outermost. They are often viewed as a map of the entire universe, with each Aethyr providing access to unique spiritual insights and experiences. [30] Exploring these Aethyrs is seen as a journey through different levels of spiritual consciousness and understanding.

Even more importantly, it highlights those instances where language plays a direct role in Man's ability—or inability—to communicate with God and the celestial creatures.)
