Enochian Magick & Mysticism by Aaron Leitch - The Complete Book of Ceremonial Magick - Book Seven

This discussion explores the history and practice of Enochian magic, a system of angelic communication developed by Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley in the late 16th century. The system involves a unique language and complex magical tools, derived from various Renaissance sources and later adapted by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Two main branches of Enochian practice exist: Dee purism, focusing on Dee's original records, and neo-Enochian, stemming from the Golden Dawn's interpretation. The book details the historical context, including Dee's relationship with Queen Elizabeth I and Kelley's later life, and explains the three phases of Dee's system: the Heptarchia, the Book of the Speech from God, and the Great Table of the Earth. Finally, it compares and contrasts Dee's original system with the Golden Dawn's adaptation, highlighting key differences and influences.
