Dr. John Dee, Mathematician in the court of Queen Elizabeth I, and Edward Kelley, his medium, first deciphered the language of the angels, or Enochian, in 1581. Dr. Dee's efforts furthered the development of the Enochian system of magic, and his methods of invocation have been taken up and expounded upon by many maglclans slnce. Donald Laycock gives us the history of Dr. Dee's and Edward Kelley's work and explains how the alphabet is pronounced, and then presents an Angelic-English and English-Angelic dictionary. It is intended to allow the reader to find the basic meaning of any Enochian word used by Dee, words in the Enochian Calls of the Golden Dawn, and those used by Aleister Crowley in The Equinox and The Vision and the Voice. The book also includes variants of Enochian words in the Goetic invocations published by Aleister Crowley as a supplement to MacGregor Mathers' translation of the Goetia. 

The most remarkable artifact in the entire history of spirit communication is the legacy of the Enochian angels, who presented themselves to the famed Elizabethan mathematician Dr. John Dee through his seer, the infamous alchemist Edward Kelley, between the years 1582-1589. Enochian Magic is a method for summoning and commanding angelic beings and demons, although the angels gave Dee strict instructions never to use the magick for evoking evil spirits. Now, Enochian Magic for Beginners provides this system in its complete and original form. 

Discovered in a hidden compartment of an old chest long after his death, the secret writings of John Dee, one of the leading scientists and occultists of Elizabethan England, record in minute detail his research into the occult. Dee's five books, revealed between March 1582 and May 1583, bring to light mysteries and truths that scholars and adepts have been struggling to understand ever since. This new edition of his work is by far the most accessible and complete published to date.
