Enochian magic

Enochian magic is a system of Renaissance magic developed by John Dee and Edward Kelley. The origins of this esoteric tradition are rooted in documented collaborations between Dee and Kelley, encompassing the revelation of the Enochian language and script, which Dee wrote were delivered to them directly by various angels during their mystical interactions.

Central to the practice is the invocation and command of various spiritual beings. Dee's journals extensively detail their interactions with these entities, accompanied by the intricate Enochian script and tables of correspondences. They believed that these revelations granted them access to insights concealed within Liber Logaeth, often referred to as the Book of Enoch.

Enochian magic, as practiced by Dee and Kelley, involves a range of rituals and ceremonies designed to evoke angelic and spiritual entities. These practices, meticulously recorded in Dee's journals, aimed to harness the energies and wisdom of these entities for transformative and practical purposes. This Renaissance occult tradition involved the interaction between human practitioners and the ethereal realm, characterized by the use of the Enochian language and symbols.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn later integrated elements of Enochian magic into its system. This adaptation reignited interest in Enochian practices, further embedding them within broader Western esoteric traditions. Debates have arisen regarding the accuracy and interpretation of these adaptations, highlighting the evolution of Enochian magic across diverse historical and contemporary contexts.
