Dr. Sledge...I hope that's how it is spelled...I'm am from the 80s...there is a book in my childhood home about magic and wizards...it was the first time I read about the lesser keys of Solomon...I will find the name of the book when I visit next time ..and I would like your input on the subjects discussed within it. Would that be a problem for you good sir?
Interesting channel. Came over it by accident or luck, you can pick what you chose of the two, I can't say specific. I am a student of Thelema, so there you got the connection to why such topics scratch an inner itch. To me, anyways. Subbed.
The field of computational linguistics you described seems like it could be an excellent avenue for my own academic path. I'm really interested in the semiotic differences and similarities between how spoken languages and programming languages operate. I feel as if a more generalized, less mechanically oriented, study of programming languages could bring us to an understanding of what "magical" languages throughout history have been designed to accomplish within the hardware of the human brain.
"I feel as if a more generalized, less mechanically oriented, study of programming languages could bring us to an understanding of what "magical" languages throughout history have been designed to accomplish" That already exists - albeit in a crude way - in the *'liberal art'* of mathematics (with it's nowadays various subfields). Take a look at e.g. 'projective geometry' and how it relates to modern astronomy. That would be an *_imaginative_* example, reflected in the traditions of 'astrology'. 'Glossolalia' could be a phenomena of _'auditory' inspiration_ , rare in our times for those of 'sound' mind, but apparently more common in the Bronze Age, considering the references to hearing voices in Hebrew scripture and Hellenic stories.

Yes, these two were an awful though incredibly interesting influence on each other, it seemed almost inevitable that things would degenerate into an alchemical fear and loathing in central Europe. It's amazing that what is usually a fairly serious subject has such an element of farce with this gruesome twosome, I don't think you missed a single instance of this, very well done. Most people in Dee's position would have perhaps said the banishment spell very slowly when Kelley was being beaten by shovels, luckily for Kelley Dee was a good bro, too good infact.
The experience of Kelly that you describe is NOT creepy. I had a similar experience. It was, at once, both literally awe-some and deeply uncomfortable. There was a massive headache in a certain place in my head, and an internal light that was as if staring at a thousand suns collected in one place. Then I was brought within and saw a Divine Form. It is not my place to interfere with anyone's path, so I will end the direct encounter there. Two notes - I was not the only one in the room at the time. My wife also had the same headache in the same place in the head. She also saw the light I mentioned. She was not permitted within, as I was. For us both, it was a profound experience, difficult to fully describe. Neither of us suffered any ill effects afterward. Even still, it took about 6 hours for the discomfort to leave fully. The point in telling this experience is to say that the effects were preceeded by a kind of rewiring of the circuitry, so nothing would be burnt out. It was a kindness.
The works givin to them from the angels is a treasure...and being 'buried' means that it is hidden or secret. So the angels were giving them what they thought Dee and Kelly were looking for, but it's not quite what the two wanted. Unless of course, Dee and Kelly both had different ideas of what 'treasure' really was
Nope - they were after an actual buried treasure. A specific one, for which they had what they hoped was a map. They wanted the angels to decipher the map for them, or lead them directly to the treasure. But the angels were indeed talking about the Treasure of the Hidden Wisdom they were revealing. They just let Dee and Kelley think what they wanted to think. Angels tend to do that... LOL
You make me research more than ever before, i am new to your channel but i am totally glued to the screen & riveted to my chair when you start Teaching. I Love research by the way. This topic was/is really interesting, Thank You For You!
Wow, this strikes so many notes of the Mormon story and Joseph smith . Joseph had a somewhat murky past with finding buried treasure, glossolalia was very popular before the nauvoo period, you get a new book that has ancient roots(reminds me of the mystique of the hermetica), a new alphabet in very short use , and alot more. It's really fascinating the magical past of protestantism and it's ideological compatriots. I've often seen mormonism as the apotheosis of mystical non-denominationalism. Their closest relatives being the baptists, or rational non-denominationalism. I hope Dr. Sledge does some videos on the Restoration period in America , or on the oahspe, or the urantia book 🤔
Dr. Sledge, I enjoy your presentations, especially your academic approach to the esoteric. I am familiar with the readings of the American Book of the Dead by EJ Gold, a translations and interpretation of Tibetan Book of the Dead. Two things struck me during your discussion on the Angelical symbols. During the voyage of the essence after death there is an immediate confrontation with the Clear Light and greatest potential for transfiguration. After this initial bounce the essence begins to lose momentum and descends through 49 chambers, noted by colors, symbols and angelic association in order to learn the lessons of the Tree of Life. Seven times we pass through seven chambers each time experiencing more hallucinations and distractions drawing us into another karmic rebirth. However anytime during this voyage through Bardo we can see the face of the beloved and transcend. The angelic beings first appearing as friendly guides, followed by non-responsive guides and eventually the torment of our own hallucinations. The 7x7 or 49 chambers seems to resonate with the magickal squares and the descending passages you have described in your work on the Angelical symbols. Blessings Aurea luc
Anything that mentions stuff I'm familiar with like Zipf's Law and combines it with esoteric mathemagick has my attention! If I had any money I could donate to you Patreon for the time you took to make this. However, I'm just a poor homesteader/ gardener/ farmer. Maybe someday my old copper cent collection will be worth more then face value and I can share with you, and buy more seeds too!
You should check out Alan Green's channel Bard Code. If you credit his discoveries then Dee knew more about mathematics than previously imagined. Robert Edward Grant's channel too.
I remember buying and getting stuck into my first copy of Aleister Crowley's "Liber 418: The Vision and the Voice" and I happened to be reading another little book that went into some detail about Crowley's relationship with the "disciple" who joined him on that journey into the desert, an apparently sorely mistreated Victor Neuburg, at the same time. I was at the time familiar only with the so-called Enochian Keys as a result of having read Anton LaVey's "Satanic Bible" which has the keys printed in a somewhat abridged form towards its end. I found the history of the language and its "reception" by Dee and Kelley compelling and like you, I was only about 14 at the time myself, so to be honest, a lot of the techniques and terminology that was employed in the writing of the book were as new to me as the language. If I'm being honest, the method of scrying employed by Dee and Kelley is still quite foggy to me from the implements they made use of to all the inversions of the text in their revelations and the way in which they were written down. You can imagine then, I'm sure, that if I'm still foggy on those things now, I swore my way through "The Vision and the Voice" from start to finish and on that first reading, really took nothing in beyond the exciting bit detailing Al's seemingly deliberate embodiment of the spirit of Daath's ruling demon, Choronzon, and what I discovered in the little book I was subsequently reading to have been some kind of abusive sexually-charged behavior aimed at the skinny little Neuburg who's job in the ritual was basically to assist and document and ended up involving so much more than that - all apparently rather ugly stuff that doesn't reflect on the character of the late Crowley very well at all. Man, did I put a lot of time into trying to learn to recite those keys by heart. Years later, I had managed to commit some to memory along with a modicum of awareness of what I was saying in translation. It was all part of a study of ceremonial magick that I really took quite seriously until my early thirties. Today, I don't think I could recite even a single sentence from any one of the keys. Man alive, those were some weird times. I don't regret them, not for the most part, although I did fall victim to something of an obsession with the material that I don't think benefited me or anyone else at all. But now that I'm listening to you talk about the history of the Enochian or Angelic language, I find my interest somewhat piqued by it again, although with a great deal more interest in the history and conception of the work. I love your channel so much, Dr. Sledge. It's kinda homey for me in a way, and you deliver the information with such clarity along with that wonderful modicum of subtle humor that just makes it all the better. Thank you so very much.
These videos got me to buy both the Enochian Dictionary and the Book of Enoch. I'm delving into Angel Magick as my primary base as a Chaos Witch. Thank you for introducing me to this side of the world.
Absolutely love your content! Such a fascinating subject. I own a copy of “ John Dee’s Five Books Of Mystery” Edited by Joseph Peterson but I have yet really dig into it because it is SO far above my pay grade. It sticks out from amongst my other books like a sore thumb waiting for me to fumble through its pages. 🤣 I’m looking forward to episode 3!
I think you'll find reading through my Enochian books first (well, Vol. I of "The Angelical Language", "The Enochian Saga", and to some extent the "Essential Enochian Grimoire") will massively help guide you through Dee's journals. :)
Demons are REAL. They generate stress, anxiety, anger and darkness. God and his Angels always are warm, calm, reassuring, LOVING and Brutally Honest since they know ALL our secrets.
On a less serious note (or maybe way more serious), a couple of those symbols look like amazing tattoo ideas. Namely the Seal of God and the star shown around the 25:35 mark of the video. What are the odds that getting the Seal of God tattooed on one's self would cause unfortunate side effects? I mean for me in this case, the end of the world will happen either way, so I don't consider that a particularly unfortunate side effect. However, being beaten by angels would be unfortunate, by my estimation.
Never have an entity's sigil tattooed on you! That's the spirit's signature, and by marking yourself with it you are declaring yourself that spirit's property. :( As for the Seal of the True God - to do that right you have to have the whole thing inscribed on your forehead! (Yep - it's that Seal of God, from Revelation.)
@@kheph777 After some quick googling (had no idea it was that one) I am more down with the seal of God tattoo idea, but I am not big on face tattoos. Honestly seems like too small of an area to put it with any accuracy. I'm cool with the idea that God could claim ownership of me anyway, since he could do so either way, what with being all powerful and all. Heck, if it shaves some time off purgatory for me, I'm all about it. (My views on purgatory deviate from Catholicism, but it's too complicated to detail and largely irrelevant here)
@@loveless131 - Yeah, a good portion of what you see in the Enochian system is essentially based on the Revelation of St. John. Or, more specifically, it is based on the Vision of the Throne of God - which is itself based on the older Jewish Merkavah tradition, which focused on similar Visions in Ezekiel and the Book of Enoch.
The Angel of the West Window: Gustav Meyrink. First published in 1927, this novel centres on the life of the Elizabethan magus John Dee. Past and present, dreams and visions, myth and reality interweave as we accompany Dee on his search for the truth. Though he has much knowledge, he lacks one crucial insight . Because of this lack we watch him become entangled ever more deeply in a web of delusion and disaster. He imagines his fervent prayers are answered by an angel of God, whereas in reality the response comes from an angel of darkness, a projection of everything that lives within him. Through this Angel of the West Window he is eventually ruined, so that he finally blames God for what he himself has created . To see how, after a long path of experience, Dee eventually finds his way out of this web to reach his ultimate goal, making this book a good read.
I'm just so hesitant to call on any beings; I don't know that I could ever feel confident that I know who I'm working with and what the consequences could be. I prefer to trust in my own energies and intuition and always act in service of the Most High, seems to get the job done for me!
That’s why you learn mysteries before calling upon any…you must be ready to teach to them as well… when you have wisdom to share..they have wisdom to give… none should take on this without this practice being mastered
@@LiveAtEs Hello there shalom may i ask why would people want to summon supernatural beings? I mean isnt there a 50/50 chance that we might meet something harmful and dangerous to ourselves? (something demonic for example)
@@mohammadsaminirtisum6152 The short answer is no you summon that what you deserve. Until many things are done I wouldn’t even Think of it because when you are prepared this question will be inconsequential
Very much a Neophyte in a personal attempt to wade thru esotericism. You are helping me tremendously. Your many references to Hinduism gives a good contrast. To summarize...strengthof Spirit means deeper responsibility does it not. Raw power unfiltered through a set of reasonable values looks like, sounds like wildfire. Wildfire has a mind of its own, yes? Regardless...thank you so very, very much. Timothy Hendrix
Really enjoyed this enquiry from a historical social point of view. Ed Kelly, an awesome con man and cold caller. I feel sorry for the good Doctor everytime. Kelly saw him coming and profited. They both created a memorable textual art of cultural importance. Perhaps the Dr enjoyed his performances as they played directly into his world view. Kelly would have been understood by the fox sisters. Of the same kind. Know your audience..there beliefs and habits and coldcall the angels. It makes for great tales and I very much appreciate your excellent investigations.
I truly love you bro kkkkkk your channel is sooo amazing, u are like as big as Umberto Eco for me. Tks for helping me finding peace of mind. Shalom! Have a Nice resting and peacefull weekend.
Hello, I would like to thank Dr. Sledge for these videos, I truly enjoy them. I would like to ask about the name of the angel mentioned at 11:06 because I can't understand it. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
I seem to be a little lost, is the third part of the series, dealing with the Enochian calls, out yet? I am pretty excited for it, these videos are so thorough and well-researched!
Fantastic work, Justin, like always. Curious if you have talked about Sabbatean Kabbalah & practices amongst the Dönmeh in any of your episodes. If not, what your thoughts are on its relevancy?
i am a relativley recent subscriber, and i'm so glad i found your channel, great work :) i woud love to see you collaborate in an interview with my favourite podcast Conner Habib's "against everyone", you share a lot of common interests in your work!
J diddy is now what I’m going to be calling John D, and I think I want to start a drinking game for every time you bring up the buries treasure because it cracks me up😂😂 you playyyy🎉love it. Your channel has given me a huge resource for research tangents on my path, thank you!!! It’s lonely out here!
"Painstaking revelation. What do I mean by 'painstaking'?" Really really really slow download times. Angelic internet running on early-modern pen-and-ink hardware.
People have no idea how important this work was/is. We are using aspects of the magick you speak of to communicate right now. How do people figure the renaissance happened? Electricity? Indeed all of the modern scientific fields are aspects of the same discipline divided & compartmentalized as such that all of mankind is contributing to a single end. The great work.
21:58 I was already tempted to go for it for the sheer absurdity of the idea of being beaten up by angels with shovels (what a great party anecdote would that make), and now you tell me I'm linguistically equipped to give it a shot?
Really enjoyed the episode. I wondered since I haven't read or no much about this text. Did it specifically use the word "apocalypse" or is that the term you are simply using to describe wheat the texts are about because I watched another scholar the other day say that the actual original meaning of apocalypse is more in line with enlightenment. So I was simply curious as to maybe is it about enlightenment or that sort or is the text really about doom 😂. Hope that question made sense 😊
Great content. Itd be cool to see an episode dedicated to John Dee. I learned quite a lot about him. The original 007. 007 being two balls and a cain....having something to do with a secret society dedicated to "tubal-cain". Ever heard of that?
Oh wow excellent episode ! When I came to my studies of "Enochian Magic" it was from studying alchemy and I found a lot of alchemical imagery in this magic system. I like that you said that the system was supposed to lead him too some kind of spiritual revelation or beatific vision. I had similar ideas. That it was either leading something similar to a beatific vision or some kind of spiritual philosophers Stone. Either way excellent episode and I cannot wait tell I see your next on.
Hi! brother I am in Israel now! I am very interesting in study and learn more about my spiritual journey could you recommend mend me some schools and give some advice ? I will appreciate it :)
@@TheEsotericaChannel I’m looking forward to it. I stumbled across your channel a few days ago. Even though I’ve only watched this and the proceeding volume so far, I can’t wait to dive deeper into your work.
I have tried and failed, many times, to grow a beard like yours... Mine always looks so unruly... How do you keep a mane like that under control? ... P.S. I also LOVE your channel, great information!
The idea that AC goes from TEX to LIL is similar to GD's concept of getting initiated from the Tree of Life, from Malkuth moving up to Kether, gaining support, maturity, comfort in the energy from TEX which is the closest to earth. The classic pathwork in GD.
Enochain magic is keep it up for 30 seconds in my black mage rotations so I can cast a better fire and blizzard. Oh you meant actual enochain and not the spell (now passive ability) from ceitcally a claimed mmorpg Final Fantasy 14. (sorry i couldnt help my self. Big fan of your videos though!)
I think you should talk to Tommie Kelly who did some experiments with the "enochian" magic system and tried some scrying in the Aethyrs. He performed the rituals based on the book "Enochian Vision Magick" by Lon Milo DuQuette. I think it could be a very interesting episode and conversation.
Thank you so much for your channel, I feel very strongly about your studies and feel that your research and delivery are the best in centuries. Could I fulfill the age old, personalities invited to my ultimate dinner party guest list, you would be there.
I read that they deciphered all but the last 36 pages when they channeled the angel Uriel he told them that ONLY the arch angel Gabriel knew how to read the symbols 😲😲😯😯🥺😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤔
So basically they demanded the angel do the Truffle Shuffle. So I wonder what would happen with these if someone ran them through the "Bible Codes" program, or is that the computational analysis you were talking about?
Awesome episode, Dr. Sledge! :) :) :) There's a ton to comment on in here for sure - but for now I note that you pronounce "Gebofal" as "geh-BOW-fall" (with a hard "g"). I have tended toward "JEH-bow-fal" (with the "a" as in "apple"). But, I admit, that has always been a complete shot in the dark on my part, as Dee left us no pronunciation notes on this word. Meanwhile, your pronunciation strikes me as more "in tune" with what the Language actually sounds like. Is there a reason you settled on that pronunciation? I'm already finding myself pronouncing it more like you do! LOL
Thanks, friend and many thanks for all your helpful insight during the making of this episode! My pronunciation? Also a shot in the dark. I basically default to something like academic Latin pronunciation when I otherwise have no idea (like here), /g/ rather than /dʒ/, /ˈoʊ/ because I take the final vowel to be /a/ - thus lengthening the penultimate vowel and laying stress there respectively. That's a general linguistic tendency, but given this language, who the hell knows? It would be interesting to get an expert in early modern English for their input, especially given that both Dee and Kelly would have had noticeably different accents, Angelic speech aside.
Given that the Angelic language has components of Latin, English, and Greek, I've always tended toward hard G as well. Soft G is pretty new as far as English is concerned. - it's "gif" not a "jif".
@@yochanan770 - My general stance is that "ge" should make a soft g sound - as in "gentle" and "gentry." (As does "gi" - like "giant" - while "ga" tends to have the hard sound - as in "gas" or "gantry.") Hence I went with the soft "g" in my pronunciation of Gebofal. BUT that isn't a hard and fast rule, and I believe there are examples even in Angelical where the rule is broken. That's why I won't ever claim my pronunciation of this word was the correct one.
@@kheph777 right on. One could argue that I'm not pronouncing English properly. I think Duquette said it best when he postulated if a mouse hopped up on your knee and spoke a poor version of English, you would certainly pay attention.
@@yochanan770 Yep! I completely agree with Lon on that one. We may get the pronunciations a bit wrong (that is, so far as we can for a language that isn't exactly a "spoken" one to begin with), but if we're putting in real effort to approximate it, the Angels can figure out what we're saying.

But the angels were indeed talking about the Treasure of the Hidden Wisdom they were revealing. They just let Dee and Kelley think what they wanted to think. Angels tend to do that... LOL
You make me research more than ever before, i am new to your channel but i am totally glued to the screen & riveted to my chair when you start Teaching. I Love research by the way. This topic was/is really interesting, Thank You For You!
Wow, this strikes so many notes of the Mormon story and Joseph smith . Joseph had a somewhat murky past with finding buried treasure, glossolalia was very popular before the nauvoo period, you get a new book that has ancient roots(reminds me of the mystique of the hermetica), a new alphabet in very short use , and alot more.
It's really fascinating the magical past of protestantism and it's ideological compatriots. I've often seen mormonism as the apotheosis of mystical non-denominationalism. Their closest relatives being the baptists, or rational non-denominationalism.
I hope Dr. Sledge does some videos on the Restoration period in America , or on the oahspe, or the urantia book 🤔
They say when Joseph Smith was killed they found a sigil of Jupiter in his pocket.
I guess you could say, Dee and Kelley were Livin' The Liber Loagaeth...

Thanks!
Dr. Sledge,
I enjoy your presentations, especially your academic approach to the esoteric. I am familiar with the readings of the American Book of the Dead by EJ Gold, a translations and interpretation of Tibetan Book of the Dead. Two things struck me during your discussion on the Angelical symbols. During the voyage of the essence after death there is an immediate confrontation with the Clear Light and greatest potential for transfiguration. After this initial bounce the essence begins to lose momentum and descends through 49 chambers, noted by colors, symbols and angelic association in order to learn the lessons of the Tree of Life. Seven times we pass through seven chambers each time experiencing more hallucinations and distractions drawing us into another karmic rebirth. However anytime during this voyage through Bardo we can see the face of the beloved and transcend. The angelic beings first appearing as friendly guides, followed by non-responsive guides and eventually the torment of our own hallucinations. The 7x7 or 49 chambers seems to resonate with the magickal squares and the descending passages you have described in your work on the Angelical symbols.
Blessings

Thanks
You have a wonderful show and a great dry wit. Have a safe trip.
Thanks
Super interesting topic. Thanks for all your knowledge
Anything that mentions stuff I'm familiar with like Zipf's Law and combines it with esoteric mathemagick has my attention! If I had any money I could donate to you Patreon for the time you took to make this. However, I'm just a poor homesteader/ gardener/ farmer. Maybe someday my old copper cent collection will be worth more then face value and I can share with you, and buy more seeds too!
You should check out Alan Green's channel Bard Code. If you credit his discoveries then Dee knew more about mathematics than previously imagined. Robert Edward Grant's channel too.
Self- sufficiency is the greatest gift to society anyone can provide, don’t underestimate it.
Great video! I'm very much looking forward to your video on the calls. Blessings🙏
I remember buying and getting stuck into my first copy of Aleister Crowley's "Liber 418: The Vision and the Voice" and I happened to be reading another little book that went into some detail about Crowley's relationship with the "disciple" who joined him on that journey into the desert, an apparently sorely mistreated Victor Neuburg, at the same time. I was at the time familiar only with the so-called Enochian Keys as a result of having read Anton LaVey's "Satanic Bible" which has the keys printed in a somewhat abridged form towards its end. I found the history of the language and its "reception" by Dee and Kelley compelling and like you, I was only about 14 at the time myself, so to be honest, a lot of the techniques and terminology that was employed in the writing of the book were as new to me as the language. If I'm being honest, the method of scrying employed by Dee and Kelley is still quite foggy to me from the implements they made use of to all the inversions of the text in their revelations and the way in which they were written down. You can imagine then, I'm sure, that if I'm still foggy on those things now, I swore my way through "The Vision and the Voice" from start to finish and on that first reading, really took nothing in beyond the exciting bit detailing Al's seemingly deliberate embodiment of the spirit of Daath's ruling demon, Choronzon, and what I discovered in the little book I was subsequently reading to have been some kind of abusive sexually-charged behavior aimed at the skinny little Neuburg who's job in the ritual was basically to assist and document and ended up involving so much more than that - all apparently rather ugly stuff that doesn't reflect on the character of the late Crowley very well at all.
Man, did I put a lot of time into trying to learn to recite those keys by heart. Years later, I had managed to commit some to memory along with a modicum of awareness of what I was saying in translation. It was all part of a study of ceremonial magick that I really took quite seriously until my early thirties. Today, I don't think I could recite even a single sentence from any one of the keys. Man alive, those were some weird times. I don't regret them, not for the most part, although I did fall victim to something of an obsession with the material that I don't think benefited me or anyone else at all.
But now that I'm listening to you talk about the history of the Enochian or Angelic language, I find my interest somewhat piqued by it again, although with a great deal more interest in the history and conception of the work. I love your channel so much, Dr. Sledge. It's kinda homey for me in a way, and you deliver the information with such clarity along with that wonderful modicum of subtle humor that just makes it all the better. Thank you so very much.
תודה!
“ Beaten with angelic shovels” love it !
Many thanks for this lucid and informative presentation. Sincerely, M.D.P.
These videos got me to buy both the Enochian Dictionary and the Book of Enoch. I'm delving into Angel Magick as my primary base as a Chaos Witch. Thank you for introducing me to this side of the world.
Huh💀
Your knowledge is just amazing
Thanks Helen, hope you are well!
Dr. Sledge, I wish you would make all your brilliant UA-cam discussions of Western Esotericism available as podcasts.
Listening to your videos while playing Elden Ring is such a vibe.

I enjoyed the extra gravitas in your intro in this one.
Absolutely love your content! Such a fascinating subject. I own a copy of “ John Dee’s Five Books Of Mystery” Edited by Joseph Peterson but I have yet really dig into it because it is SO far above my pay grade. It sticks out from amongst my other books like a sore thumb waiting for me to fumble through its pages. 🤣 I’m looking forward to episode 3!
I think you'll find reading through my Enochian books first (well, Vol. I of "The Angelical Language", "The Enochian Saga", and to some extent the "Essential Enochian Grimoire") will massively help guide you through Dee's journals. :)
@@kheph777 Thank you for the comment and suggestions! I’m going to order Volume 1 and wade deeper into that water.

@@johnnewton8017 - Awesome! Hope you enjoy it! :)
Really enjoying this topic and your approach as it’s concise, detailed and entertaining
Absolutely brilliant work! You have my most sincere thanks :)
Demons are REAL. They generate stress, anxiety, anger and darkness.
God and his Angels always are warm, calm, reassuring, LOVING and Brutally Honest since they know ALL our secrets.
On a less serious note (or maybe way more serious), a couple of those symbols look like amazing tattoo ideas. Namely the Seal of God and the star shown around the 25:35 mark of the video. What are the odds that getting the Seal of God tattooed on one's self would cause unfortunate side effects? I mean for me in this case, the end of the world will happen either way, so I don't consider that a particularly unfortunate side effect. However, being beaten by angels would be unfortunate, by my estimation.
Never have an entity's sigil tattooed on you! That's the spirit's signature, and by marking yourself with it you are declaring yourself that spirit's property. :(
As for the Seal of the True God - to do that right you have to have the whole thing inscribed on your forehead! (Yep - it's that Seal of God, from Revelation.)
@@kheph777 After some quick googling (had no idea it was that one) I am more down with the seal of God tattoo idea, but I am not big on face tattoos. Honestly seems like too small of an area to put it with any accuracy. I'm cool with the idea that God could claim ownership of me anyway, since he could do so either way, what with being all powerful and all. Heck, if it shaves some time off purgatory for me, I'm all about it. (My views on purgatory deviate from Catholicism, but it's too complicated to detail and largely irrelevant here)
@@loveless131 - Yeah, a good portion of what you see in the Enochian system is essentially based on the Revelation of St. John. Or, more specifically, it is based on the Vision of the Throne of God - which is itself based on the older Jewish Merkavah tradition, which focused on similar Visions in Ezekiel and the Book of Enoch.
Awesome 😎 thanks brother!!🙏blessed be!!
The Angel of the West Window: Gustav Meyrink. First published in 1927, this novel centres on the life of the Elizabethan magus John Dee. Past and present, dreams and visions, myth and reality interweave as we accompany Dee on his search for the truth. Though he has much knowledge, he lacks one crucial insight . Because of this lack we watch him become entangled ever more deeply in a web of delusion and disaster. He imagines his fervent prayers are answered by an angel of God, whereas in reality the response comes from an angel of darkness, a projection of everything that lives within him. Through this Angel of the West Window he is eventually ruined, so that he finally blames God for what he himself has created . To see how, after a long path of experience, Dee eventually finds his way out of this web to reach his ultimate goal, making this book a good read.
Tangerine Dream made an album with that same title
I'm just so hesitant to call on any beings; I don't know that I could ever feel confident that I know who I'm working with and what the consequences could be. I prefer to trust in my own energies and intuition and always act in service of the Most High, seems to get the job done for me!
Amen to that friend
That’s why you learn mysteries before calling upon any…you must be ready to teach to them as well… when you have wisdom to share..they have wisdom to give… none should take on this without this practice being mastered
@@LiveAtEs Hello there shalom may i ask why would people want to summon supernatural beings? I mean isnt there a 50/50 chance that we might meet something harmful and dangerous to ourselves? (something demonic for example)
@@mohammadsaminirtisum6152 The short answer is no you summon that what you deserve. Until many things are done I wouldn’t even Think of it because when you are prepared this question will be inconsequential
@@LiveAtEs ok thats actually a good point. " Dont do something risky unless you prepared first" .
Thank you so much for your work. I really enjoy it... 🙏🙏🙏
Very much a Neophyte in a personal attempt to wade thru esotericism. You are helping me tremendously.
Your many references to Hinduism gives a good contrast.
To summarize...strengthof Spirit means deeper responsibility does it not. Raw power unfiltered through a set of reasonable values looks like, sounds like wildfire. Wildfire has a mind of its own, yes?
Regardless...thank you so very, very much.

Really enjoyed this enquiry from a historical social point of view. Ed Kelly, an awesome con man and cold caller. I feel sorry for the good Doctor everytime. Kelly saw him coming and profited. They both created a memorable textual art of cultural importance. Perhaps the Dr enjoyed his performances as they played directly into his world view. Kelly would have been understood by the fox sisters. Of the same kind. Know your audience..there beliefs and habits and coldcall the angels.
It makes for great tales and I very much appreciate your excellent investigations.
I truly love you bro kkkkkk your channel is sooo amazing, u are like as big as Umberto Eco for me. Tks for helping me finding peace of mind.
Shalom!
Have a Nice resting and peacefull weekend.
Hello, I would like to thank Dr. Sledge for these videos, I truly enjoy them. I would like to ask about the name of the angel mentioned at 11:06 because I can't understand it. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
Dee & Kelley : The keys to the kingdom of God won't pay the rent !
I seem to be a little lost, is the third part of the series, dealing with the Enochian calls, out yet? I am pretty excited for it, these videos are so thorough and well-researched!
Not yet! Hopefully later this summer
@@TheEsotericaChannel Thanks a lot, looking forward to it!
Fantastic work, Justin, like always. Curious if you have talked about Sabbatean Kabbalah & practices amongst the Dönmeh in any of your episodes. If not, what your thoughts are on its relevancy?
Yep, I'll get to them eventually!
i am a relativley recent subscriber, and i'm so glad i found your channel, great work :) i woud love to see you collaborate in an interview with my favourite podcast Conner Habib's "against everyone", you share a lot of common interests in your work!
Dont start yet, let me grab my absinthe!
Love this channel
Angelic combo breaker!! Lmao! Im sooo using that! Great stuff Sir!!
J diddy is now what I’m going to be calling John D, and I think I want to start a drinking game for every time you bring up the buries treasure because it cracks me up😂😂 you playyyy🎉love it. Your channel has given me a huge resource for research tangents on my path, thank you!!! It’s lonely out here!
I wonder if at the 20:17 mark he is saying ether of Elil or Enlil (the Sumerian God)?
not Enlil
@@TheEsotericaChannel do u have a Cashapp?
nah
"Painstaking revelation. What do I mean by 'painstaking'?" Really really really slow download times. Angelic internet running on early-modern pen-and-ink hardware.
People have no idea how important this work was/is. We are using aspects of the magick you speak of to communicate right now. How do people figure the renaissance happened? Electricity? Indeed all of the modern scientific fields are aspects of the same discipline divided & compartmentalized as such that all of mankind is contributing to a single end. The great work.
Good depection of the great John Dee and Kelly , brilliant
21:58 I was already tempted to go for it for the sheer absurdity of the idea of being beaten up by angels with shovels (what a great party anecdote would that make), and now you tell me I'm linguistically equipped to give it a shot?
Really enjoyed the episode. I wondered since I haven't read or no much about this text. Did it specifically use the word "apocalypse" or is that the term you are simply using to describe wheat the texts are about because I watched another scholar the other day say that the actual original meaning of apocalypse is more in line with enlightenment. So I was simply curious as to maybe is it about enlightenment or that sort or is the text really about doom 😂. Hope that question made sense 😊
John Dee = the real agent 007.
Sadly, that turned out to be an urban legend. Dee WAS absolutely England's first and most influential spy. But he never used the "007" code. :(
Everyone working in Enochian magic seems to say that everyone else is doing it wrong.
They're probably all right.
@@TheEsotericaChannel oooooooh burn
As one of those Enochian workers I'll tell you: we're all right.
But I'm the closest. ;)
The history of magic and religion!
Next time I run into galvah I'll ask her ;)
I love it, how the logo for your channel looks exactly similar (Homoousion) to a Mayan hieroglyph.
Great content. Itd be cool to see an episode dedicated to John Dee. I learned quite a lot about him. The original 007. 007 being two balls and a cain....having something to do with a secret society dedicated to "tubal-cain". Ever heard of that?
I would love a video on Dr Sledges personal beliefs and his history with the topic of theology👀
I’d love to see your views on the Azoetia!
"I accidentaly ... the Apocalypse"
Rebuild Evangelion 2.0, is that you?
Oh wow excellent episode ! When I came to my studies of "Enochian Magic" it was from studying alchemy and I found a lot of alchemical imagery in this magic system. I like that you said that the system was supposed to lead him too some kind of spiritual revelation or beatific vision. I had similar ideas. That it was either leading something similar to a beatific vision or some kind of spiritual philosophers Stone.
Either way excellent episode and I cannot wait tell I see your next on.
That grid from the book is eerily similar to the Befunge esoteric programming language.
Looks to be an interesting video.
Somehow I can't help but hearing "the liber loagaeth" as "livin la liber loaga(eth)"... like La Vida Loca xD
What about Stephen skinner’s edition of the spiritual diaries??
Hi! brother I am in Israel now! I am very interesting in study and learn more about my spiritual journey could you recommend mend me some schools and give some advice ? I will appreciate it :)
Dr. J's intro reminded me of the intro for twilight zones' or Alfred Hitchcock's opening monologue . Our friend ,Esoterica, knows how to make it fun.😄
Compared to those folks I'm in good company
Sounds like a part in bohemian raphsody right before they say "anyway the wind blows..."
Have you posted the third video? I’m having trouble finding it.
Not yet sometime this summer hopefully!
@@TheEsotericaChannel I’m looking forward to it. I stumbled across your channel a few days ago. Even though I’ve only watched this and the proceeding volume so far, I can’t wait to dive deeper into your work.
Outstanding video!
Great video. Thank you
2:03 But why does the algorhythm present the second episode first?
I have tried and failed, many times, to grow a beard like yours... Mine always looks so unruly... How do you keep a mane like that under control? ... P.S. I also LOVE your channel, great information!
The idea that AC goes from TEX to LIL is similar to GD's concept of getting initiated from the Tree of Life, from Malkuth moving up to Kether, gaining support, maturity, comfort in the energy from TEX which is the closest to earth. The classic pathwork in GD.
Enochain magic is keep it up for 30 seconds in my black mage rotations so I can cast a better fire and blizzard. Oh you meant actual enochain and not the spell (now passive ability) from ceitcally a claimed mmorpg Final Fantasy 14. (sorry i couldnt help my self. Big fan of your videos though!)
I think you should talk to Tommie Kelly who did some experiments with the "enochian" magic system and tried some scrying in the Aethyrs. He performed the rituals based on the book "Enochian Vision Magick" by Lon Milo DuQuette. I think it could be a very interesting episode and conversation.
Thank you so much for your channel, I feel very strongly about your studies and feel that your research and delivery are the best in centuries. Could I fulfill the age old, personalities invited to my ultimate dinner party guest list, you would be there.
What is the title of the third video in this series? I just discovered this channel and love the content
Not yet made look for maybe next week actually
@@TheEsotericaChannel Awesome. Thank you for the reply.
I was hoping for a little help from you. with a Monologue i am writing, I got 2 days, but i have an Idea I think you can help me with.
God's that someone would make a movie of these interactions! In the style of "Dark Song"...
I read that they deciphered all but the last 36 pages when they channeled the angel Uriel he told them that ONLY the arch angel Gabriel knew how to read the symbols 😲😲😯😯🥺😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤔
did u find a computational linguist? would love to know what happened.
So basically they demanded the angel do the Truffle Shuffle. So I wonder what would happen with these if someone ran them through the "Bible Codes" program, or is that the computational analysis you were talking about?
Truly exquisite
Are you familiar with the Oera Linda book?
I just learned about it and I’d love to see your take.
Awesome episode, Dr. Sledge! :) :) :) There's a ton to comment on in here for sure - but for now I note that you pronounce "Gebofal" as "geh-BOW-fall" (with a hard "g"). I have tended toward "JEH-bow-fal" (with the "a" as in "apple"). But, I admit, that has always been a complete shot in the dark on my part, as Dee left us no pronunciation notes on this word. Meanwhile, your pronunciation strikes me as more "in tune" with what the Language actually sounds like. Is there a reason you settled on that pronunciation? I'm already finding myself pronouncing it more like you do! LOL
Thanks, friend and many thanks for all your helpful insight during the making of this episode! My pronunciation? Also a shot in the dark. I basically default to something like academic Latin pronunciation when I otherwise have no idea (like here), /g/ rather than /dʒ/, /ˈoʊ/ because I take the final vowel to be /a/ - thus lengthening the penultimate vowel and laying stress there respectively. That's a general linguistic tendency, but given this language, who the hell knows? It would be interesting to get an expert in early modern English for their input, especially given that both Dee and Kelly would have had noticeably different accents, Angelic speech aside.
Given that the Angelic language has components of Latin, English, and Greek, I've always tended toward hard G as well. Soft G is pretty new as far as English is concerned. - it's "gif" not a "jif".
@@yochanan770 - My general stance is that "ge" should make a soft g sound - as in "gentle" and "gentry." (As does "gi" - like "giant" - while "ga" tends to have the hard sound - as in "gas" or "gantry.") Hence I went with the soft "g" in my pronunciation of Gebofal. BUT that isn't a hard and fast rule, and I believe there are examples even in Angelical where the rule is broken. That's why I won't ever claim my pronunciation of this word was the correct one.
@@kheph777 right on. One could argue that I'm not pronouncing English properly. I think Duquette said it best when he postulated if a mouse hopped up on your knee and spoke a poor version of English, you would certainly pay attention.
@@yochanan770 Yep! I completely agree with Lon on that one. We may get the pronunciations a bit wrong (that is, so far as we can for a language that isn't exactly a "spoken" one to begin with), but if we're putting in real effort to approximate it, the Angels can figure out what we're saying.
How much is the traslation gap between the original language Ge'ez to Spanish (I couldn't find an online downloadable version in the internet)
Not the same book.
So happy I found your channel - love your content, would love any Divine Women, text if there are any known, depths of our history must hold some???
