"Enochian is a name often applied to an occult or angelic language recorded in the private journals of John Dee and his colleague Edward Kelley in late 16th century England. Dee straddled the worlds of science and magic just as they were becoming distinguishable, and Kelley was a self-declared spirit medium who worked with Dee in his magical investigations. The men claimed that the language was revealed to them by angels."

(source: Wikipedia)

"Enochian magic is a system of ceremonial magic based on the evocation and commanding of various spirits. It is based on the 16th-century writings of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley, who claimed that their information, including the revealed Enochian language, was delivered to them directly by various angels. Dee's journals contained the Enochian script, and the tables of correspondences that accompany it. Dee and Kelley believed their visions gave them access to secrets contained within the apocryphal Book of Enoch."

Scrying, trance and aphantasia

I have aphantasia and am not prone to visions in a normal state- in a trance state this is completely different. When scrying the aythers does one achieve visions spontaneously or through a trance state? Can I scry the aythers through astral projection? Thanks for your time!

Is it possible to say "He who saves one life, saves the world, entire," or something to a similar effect in Enochian? If so, how?

An odd question, but a few months ago, I made a poster commemorating the 1960 Kirk Russel film Spartacus, incorporating the lyrics of Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. (I regularly rewrite song lyrics as poems, which I pair with visuals taken from actual visual artists) I'm currently working on a sequel to that poster, incorporating panels from the manga Koe no Katachi, with lyrics taken from various songs that fit the scene where the main character rescues the deuteragonist from a suicide attempt, as well as other song lyrics more personal to myself. I also want to pull from the film Schindler's List which is up there with Spartacus and Koe no Katchi as one of my favorite films. The line "He who saves one life, saves the world, entire," which comes up at the end of that film, fits the scene in question perfectly.

Originally, I was going to use the original Hebrew, but when I looked into it I read an article by an actual Hebrew scholar explaining that that line's not quite as profound in its original context. I have no spiritual attachment to Judaism, and I do not care that the line as writ is purely from Steven Spielberg's imagination. It's a good line, and a good message to spread. So, I resolved to write it in Enochian instead. However, as we all know, our supply of Enochian vocabulary is very limited. I made one solid attempt to translate the line from this resource, but got stuck on the word "Save."

If anyone more studied in the Enochian language could come up with a way to express this sentence, or otherwise construct a new sentence from existing Enochian vocabulary to the same effect, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, I understand.

Translation

Hello, how would you say the word "faith" in enochian? Is there a specific word or is it a 1-1 translation for each letter? I'd appreciate your guys' help :)

I want to know your opinion on them, I've seen many people here go so far as to say they are frauds, but also i have seen people highly praise their works, also I have seen people like Donald Michael Kraig recommend their books.

So I want to know what do you think are they frauds? are they legit?

Can you buy the materials instead of crafting

Considering there's so many on ETSY, I'm guessing the answer is yes but I wanted to confirm.

I'm reading Enochian Vision Magick, and learning about the The Ring, The Holy Table, The Lamen and The Sigillum.

I decided to go on ETSY to see how much these items would cost, I was expecting each item to go for 500 or more. To my surprise, all these items are less than 50 bucks each! Not only that but they look very well designed and pretty.

In the chapter about The Sigillum, Lon Milo suggests to make this yourself because he says the process of making it yourself, you absorb it within yourself.............but wouldn't gazing at someone else's made Sigillum have that same effect the same way as when one gazes at a sigil?

I obv want to do the magick correctly but just want to confirm that I can grab all these items off Etsy instead of hand crafting.

Enochian...Thaumathurgy?

Simple question: is the enochian system adequate for thaumathurgical goals? By that, I mean the use of sorcery to obtain worldly gains such as wealth and love. Or is the enochian system entirely theurgical, in the sense of approaching men to the divine?

Translation help?

Hi yall, I’m trying to find the translation of a word for a friend. the word is “service” in Enochian. they can’t remember the exact word, but said “Direct symbol based translation [using the above photo] is possible but the pronunciation is lost to time if memory serves”. my friend had also always said it’s “not exactly pronounceable”, which im guessing implies it’s complex phonetically. If anyone could help, that’d be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

What benefits does one gain from practicing Enochian magick?

Just wondering. I haven't practiced it(yet) and when I read about other peoples experience it seems like its a mix between Enochian is spiritual recreation/fun but you dont actually gain anything from it, to others saying Enochian helped change their life in a big way.

So why do any of you who practice Enochian do it? What does one gain?

Finding transliteration errors in commonly accepted text versions of Dee's Liber Loagaeth (Liber Mysteriorum, Sextus et Sanctus) - Anyone have *HIGH QUALITY* scans of Sloane MS 3188/3189 to help me reconcile?

TLDR: Anyone with access to *HIGH QUALITY* scans of Sloane MS 3188/3189?

Detailed explanation:

While exploring "An Invitation to Good Angels" (Leaf 1A 21-23), I noted inconsistencies in the transliterated text published by several different (commonly respected) sources - mostly due to different interpretations of Dee's handwriting / the ambiguity of certain letters when written in cursive (e.g. 'o' and 'a' or 'e'; 'm' and 'n'; 'v' and 'r')

Being interested in accuracy for any Enochian invocation, I figured I could just use the publicly available scans of Sloane MS 3188 to reconcile - but discovered that, except for a few cases, the quality of those scans isn't really sufficient (when zoomed in to the level needed for analysis, the text becomes too pixelated)

By way of example, I've seen both "PADONOMAGEBS" and "PADOHOMAGEBS" as the first word of Leaf 1A (21)*

In this particular instance, when looking at the scan of Dee's cursive handwriting, it's clear that the character is definitely a lowercase 'h' that was misinterpreted by some as an 'n' because the line that would distinguish a lowercase 'h' from a lowercase 'n' was slightly lighter, even though it's clearly there.

However, other circumstances are less clear.

Can anyone help?

* Example--

Enochian in popular culture?

So i noticed in the song No Good Deed in the show Wicked it starts with a chant:

"Eleka nahmen nahmen Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen Eleka nahmen nahmen Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen"

I know its Enochian because "Eleka" is the Enochian word for "Daughter of Light" in the Enochian Dictionary.

This is but one example of Enochian used in popular culture, another example are the Enochian Protection Runes in Supernatural engraved in someones skeleton.

Does anyone else know of other examples of the Angelical Language used in popular culture?

I also want to know what the Ah tum and Nahmen means in the chant in No Good Deed as i am still learning how to speak enochian and wish to use it in many of my spell work.

Previous Goetia work = tainted in view of angels?

I recently read from a well known Enochian author that angels seem to view all humans as fallen and needing of repentance, but those especially that have worked with demons in the Goetia as being tainted.

Apparently they desired Kelley and Dee to repent, and become enlightened with their roles in the Great Work.

Does anyone have any understanding on this, based on either texts or from personal interactions with said angels?

London Visit: Dee/Kelley Places of Interest?

I'm going to be visiting London in the near future. I am aware that there are some instruments of Dee's in the British Museum and plan to visit there. Does anyone else know of other areas of interest around London related to Dee and Kelley's and their work that would be worth visiting?

Help with the Grammar of The Enochian language

im not a magik believer myself, but im sort of a linguist,
Enochian is interesting. i studied some of the history, and the propouse.
I understand that is meant to be used to contact angels, so vocabulary should be limited, and im aware of the existence of the enochian dictionary. but im interested in the grammar aspects:
for example is S-V-O? there are declinations? auxiliar verbs? or is it maybe more "tarzanic" in nature, (like "me want food")
(im not intersted in the "roots" since, either is a con-lang or a divine language, it should't have any)

is any of the above explained in the ecochian dictionary or should i search for another source? (i want to know before i bought it)

i assume most of you already know the language.
and i hope im not offending anyone, im grateful for any help.

Enochian Invocation Confusion: Words in scrying received that have no meaning We did an invocation of the Enochian angels using the standard method, we got visions that made sense for our questions and full sentences in Enochian. But I couldnt find any meaning for those words in the dictionary.

Does this mean we messed up in the scrying process?

Why cover your black mirror when not in use?

I was just curious I've had successful scrying sessions with a tablet device before, as well as with a tradition obsidian black mirror. I don't cover either. Is it because things can enter? Or because they can exit? I don't understand. If I'm utilizing the black mirror to speak to Angels, are other things really gonna try to come through? Is prayer supplicated enough as to not have to cover all the mirrors?
