ralis Posted December 26, 2013 I wanted to begin a thread devoted specifically for Enochian magick with the intent of sorting out authentic from the popular literature.

BaguaKicksAss Posted December 27, 2013 Go with the original diary notes of John Dee and Edward Kelly instead of the altered newer versions. Â Geoffrey James' Enochian Magick/evocation book, Joseph Peterson's Five books of Mystery, True and Faithful relation by Caussebaun are all good traditional books. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zhongyongdaoist Posted December 27, 2013 Go with the original diary notes of John Dee and Edward Kelly instead of the altered newer versions.  Geoffrey James' Enochian Magick/evocation book, Joseph Peterson's Five books of Mystery, True and Faithful relation by Caussebaun are all good traditional books.  I rather agree with Baquakicksass here, though I am perhaps not as keen on Geoffrey James as she seems to be. I prefer the books of Robert Turner, Elizabethan Magic and The Heptarchia Mystica of John Dee. Aside from having the same name as an important 17th Century English writer and authority on magic, he was one of the major figures in the 60s revival of magic in England. He started with the Golden Dawn system, but then returned to the original material and wrote on it in the early 80s.  Regrettably mistakes and possibly sources of corrupting influence started in the early 17th Century and influenced various sources up to and including the Golden Dawn. If I have time and there is interest I may document these elements. Rather stuck for time now.  I did some posts on Enochian under my Theurgia-Goetia, on Gods and Demons thread, they begin here:  Enochian Magic and the Structure of the Lemegaton  Again my being able to reply to any questions about that material depends on finding the time to do so. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted December 27, 2013 Most definitely agreed on Turner being an awesome Enochian resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted December 27, 2013 Okay, I'll be in ... but I will add some spice and play 'against' the 'traditionalists; above .I will start by giving my answer to one of your questions, "What is the purpose of this system? " Â What ever purpose the operator decides (generally within magick of course). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nungali Posted December 27, 2013 I have to admit I was sceptical when I approached it ... I had heard that it seems to achieve results for the practitioner quiet well, even at first. So I jumped in .... BING! Yep ... results ! Also I got some results with the 'Aethyrs' ... but more so working with the squares  ... .... I know , I know .... mine were even adapted further than the G.D. I have done little with the original stuff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
