What is Enochian Magic ? The Tools and Rituals that John Dee used to Speak with Angels

Enochian magic has fueled the imagination since the first spirit sessions in the 1580s. But, prior to the language of the angels and the apocalyptic rituals of the Liber Loagaeth, Dee and Kelley received complex revelations for the construction of a sacred temple with furniture, vestments and the very ring of Solomon. Included in this revelations were an otherwise unknown retinue of angelic and spiritual beings. All taken together these early Enochian workings are known as the Heptarchia Mystica, the Mystical Rulership of the Seven.

[@zenz0ha472]

As a practitioner, I think my favorite thing is finding channels like this one, full of academic and logical standpoints on one of the most mysterious forces in our world: Magic or Heka. We need more of this in my opinion, so we can finally craft magical practice into a more scientific and sound logic that everyone can follow if they wish :)

[@TheEsotericaChannel]

I like that you think that any of this stuff is even remotely logically sound

[@henrismith7472]

The guys that invented science were practitioners of hermeticism and alchemy. Science is the logical tool they created. Science is dualistic and about creating a perceived separation of the observer and the observed. Hermetic meditation is about realising the unification of your consciousness with the collective consciousness. Hermeticists believe all of existence literally is consciousness. Hermetic meditation feels expansive. Anyway the point is that to do science you have to do the opposite of what you would do to practise magic how they did. Magic is more a system of self improvement than it is Harry Potter stuff. There is a lot of nonsense too. People don't appreciate alchemy as being a system of mental transmutation because they associate it with "idiots" attempting to turn lead into gold. Also there's a wild theory that those beings John Dee used to commune with the angels were these same orbs that keep showing up that are connected to the UFO phenomenon.

[@Dowlphin]

What if by that standard all science is magic or none is? What if magic is specifically relying on that which is not under intellectual control?

[@henrismith7472]

@@Dowlphin Well science wouldn't exist without magic, and yes magic relies on what is outside of intellectual control. Some of the greatest discoveries in science were revealed to scientists. Like the idea just popped into their head. The DNA double helix was discovered on LSD (I need to fact check that actually). It seems like the initial breakthroughs are achieved in a paradoxical state of consciousness to the typical scientific state of consciousness (the intellectual logical state). All of this you can logic away by saying that their brains were simply working in a different way when they had these insights, and you would be correct, but that doesn't contradict what I'm saying.

It's hilarious how much more coherant your breakdown of the Enochian System in this video is than I've gotten from practitoners in the A.'.A.'. or OTO (which I was in for many years till deciding, after far too many red flags, Thelema wasn't something I wanted to be part of... at least any "orthodox" Thelema which deifies Aleister.) David Shoemaker and Lon Milo DuQuette were the only two I've spoken to who seemed to know much about it. Thanks for making this. I have very little interest in practicing Enochian or Goetia as I have my own methods which jive with me I've developed on my own but I find studying such things fascinating and important to history (esoteric and exoteric). Random questions: Is anyone aware of whether or not the SRIA practice Enochian? Is anyone in the comments a practitioner of Enochian and if you are what draws you you to it? What do you feel it gives you that other practices do not?

[@MarcoVisconti]

@@thishandleistacken hey thanks :) Some answers to your questions: No, the SRIA doesn't officially practice Enochian magic. It is possible that individual colleges might have classes on them, but there is no Enochian in their degree work and rituals. Regarding why doing Enochian and what it gives you, it's simply a more immediate connection with the Other than any other system I ever worked with. It should also be said that it's my experience that the real "goal" of the system was to usher in an apocalypse, i.e. moving from the previous Aeon to the current. It obviously succeeded in doing so.

Thank you Dr S, now I need to take a year or so to begin to digest what you've said here, ever it was.

[@TheMagicofJava]

I am so pleased that you have reached the same conclusion about Kelly as I. His account of the finding the red powder (possibly red sulphur) at Northwick Hill is a clear fabrication. He claimed to have been led to it by a Viking, but the area was outside of Danelaw. Whilst a few Vikings may have been found in the broader area, it just seems like a complete fantasy. I find it hard to believe that Sir John Dee was so taken in by him, not least as I have a lot of time for Sir John, but largely for his non-magical contribution to learning.

[@JelMain]

You'll find that red powder is a form of gold, in certain processes. It's not a catalyst, the heating involved simply drives the mercury off as gas. However, there is a possibility that they may have stripped the electron shells off - Dry Path implies temperatures twelve times higher than Wet Path (conservation of energy, backwards), and as that used wood, firing at 240-300 C, we're talking plasma temperatures. Then, the question's how to annihilate a proton from the nucleus, producing gold. (Hg's AW is 80, Au's 79).

Thank you, Dr. Justin Sledge. . I love your podcasts.The are extremely informative. Have you ever seen Francisco Goya's 1798 paintings up close? Especially Spanish: (Vuelo de Brujas) "Witches in Flight" or "Witches in Air." "Witches of the Sabbath" (Spanish: El Aqauelarre) This last one was purchased in 1798 along with 5 other paintings related to witchcraft by the Duke and Duchess of Osuna. These reflect Goya's disdain for popular tendency towards superstition and the church, which led to medieval fears and depiction of such scenes as medieval fears exploited by the establishment order for political capital and gain. "Satin Eating His Children." It is suggested that Goya might have been a Mason. Whatever, I love all Goya's artwork. In fact, he is my favorite of all the great Masters. I do love e all the great Masters of art, also. They were a delicious pot of stews with hankey pankey here and there throughout the centuries. So be it with religions. Hear! Hear!

[@darrin.morgan1]

I'm stunned by your revelation that this is itself a highly inclusive synthesis of various earlier magical traditions (but I shouldn't be surprised - aren't we all still looking for a grand unified theory). There is clearly an evolutionary process going on, with different threads of the correspondences being laced together. I would be interested to see how (or if) you see the later work of the Golden Dawn as a continuation of that synthesis or a dilution/pollution of the work of Dee.
