during her reign, many being burned at the stake. It was not until the ascension of the fiercely Proresranr Elizabeth | (1533-1603) that this bloody chapter of British history ended, though many of those previously in charge of the hangman's noose now found themselves dangling from it. Dee narrowly escaped this fate himself, for in 1555 he was accused of "calculating" and "conjuring." He was subsequently arrested and subjected to repeated interrogations. In essence, the charges brought against him were probably correct; being both an astronomer and an astrologer he could have hardly avoided the activities of the type of which he was accused. He had in fact drawn up astrological charts for both Queen Mary and eueen Elizabeth, and would personally select the date for the latter's coronation based on favorable astrological conditions. His later appoinrment as an advisor to eueen Elizabeth would suggest that the allegations about his religious inclinations were also well-founded. In spite of this, Dee's accusers were unable to substantiate their claims against him, and he was eventually released after six months of imprisonment. Dee's early years were filled with all of the wonders of the emerging European Renaissance and he developed a passion for scientific discovery and the pursuit of knowledge. Aside from his well-known accomplishments as an astrologer, Dee was also an exceptional mathematician who wrote a much-admired preface to Euclid's Elements, a seminal text on mathematics.T Dee was also a skilled cartographer who studied at the side of such luminaries as Gerard Mercator (1512-1594) at the prestigious college of Louvain. His private library contained between four and five thousand books and manuscripts, a truly vast amount by the standards of the times. It was renowned as one of the greatest collections in England, and became a focal point for traveling scholars from throughout Britain and Europe. A great patriot, Dee found himself called upon to give counsel to eueen Elizabeth on a number of occasions. He was a staunch advocate of Britain's advancement toward naval supremacy, which he felt was integral to his country's development as a true world power. The defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 and events in subsequent centuries have proven that his counsel on this matter could not have been more prescient. The advice he gave to Martin Frobisher's expedition in their quest to discover the fabled Northwest Passage (thought to run across the top of North America to the riches of the East) was not) however, quite so beneficial. In spite of Dee's reputation as an excellent 7. Benjamin\Wooley, The Queen's Conjurer.. p. 13

Biblical patriarch Enoch, who was said to have stood in the presence of God.e complete with its own angelic alphabet and language, and is quite capable of standing as a complete magical sysrem on its own right. However, it was much, much, more to Dee, who almost certainly viewed it as his own scientific investigation into rhe narure of God's influence in the world. In the language and understanding of his day, he sought that same, elusive "Grand unifuingTheory" rhat some present-day physicists seek, although at the time it necessarily stemmed from the "radical truths" of an omnipotent Creator rather than empirical scientific data. The details for the construction of the Sigillum Dei are contained in a series of manuscripts that record dialogues said to have taken place between John Dee, Edward Kelley and a number of different angels and spirits. The manuscripts are known collectively as The Fizte Books of Mystery, and the story of their survival is one of the most remarkable tales in the annals of occult literature. Although in his early life Dee was quite popular and wielded considerable influence, he still had to be somewhat circumspect about his occult activities, and it seems that very few people would have been aware of his angelic conversations. Many of the papers pertaining to his esoteric work are known to be lost, some perhaps deliberately destroyed, and others hidden for safekeeping. The diaries containing his work on the Sigillum Dei were found nearly sixty years after his death in the false bottom of a cedar chest that had once belonged to Dee, having been hidden there for safekeeping. Given the persistent accusations of sorcery that followed Dee throughout the course of his life, it is no surprise that he would have taken measures to ensure the safety not only of his work, but of his repuration as well. As the story goesr the chest in which Dee hid the diary manuscripts passed out of his estate upon his death in late 1608 or early 1609 and was later re-sold, eventually finding its way into the hands of a confectioner and his wife. They owned it for some twenty years, completely unaware of the chest's hidden treasure until they happened ro move it from its usual place while re-arranging furniture. Hearing a rattling in the bottom, they investigated and found a small, concealed drawer, which they opened to reveal a number of books and manuscript leaves.

vehemently to the contrary, and it would seem unwise to give unqualified support to either conrenrion.There do appear to have been times that Kelley fixed errors in the transcriptions once the evocations had ended, suggesting that he had some preconceived notion of their contents. However, it also seems unlikely that he would have been able to memorize the large amounts of information contained in the numerous tables that define the bulk of their later work. Many of these tables were acrually dictated backwards, making the claim that he memorized them even more unlikely. This is, of course, if one neglects to remember that he was scrying into a reflectiae surface,in which case he might have read the tables by sleight of hand. Concealing them from Dee's vantage point, he could have read tables placed on his person by their reflection in the surface of the crystal ball or mirror, meaning that the images would have been necessarily reversed. Still, there are a number of other instances where Kelley simply either could not have known the information conveyed, or that would have required mental abilities far beyond those with which he is generally credited. When examining such questions) we should also turn a critical eye towards John Dee himself, whom we know to have been well versed in the methodology ofTrithemius' Steganographia, abook on cryptography that was cunningly concealed in the guise of a work on magical squares derived from angelic names. Steganographia was written around 1499 and circulated in manuscript form for over a century before finally being published in Frankfurt in 1606. Dee's manuscript copy was said to have been one of his most prized possessions. The fundamental similarities between the techniques of the steganographia, Dee's construcrion of the Sigillum Dei, and the other tables that serve as the basis of the Enochian sysrem are difficult to ignore.That Dee u'as investigating or utilizing a method of cryptography while later spying for Queen Elizabeth in continental Europe is not out of the question and in all truth quite probable, though it would seem admirtedly ill-advised to hide one damnable offense (spying) in the guise of another (sorcery). A reasonable question then follows: "Is it also a viable system of angelic magic?" Present historical evidence does not tell us with absolute certainty whether Dee and Kelley's work actually represented a magical system they both believed to be communicated directly from the Divine, an elaborate and prolonged hoax perpetrated by Kelley at the expense of the humble, if not gullible, Renaissance magician, or an ingenious system of cryptography whose cipher has yet to be discovered. It is possible, though admittedly unlikely, that

THE SrcrLr-ur,r

Dtr ArvrlH

John Dee and Edward Kelley's work on the Sigillum Dei began in earnest in I5B2 when Dee found himself unable to determine a definitive form of the seal from the various early representations that were available for comparison.t By his account he turned. to the angels with whom he was in contact, and they communicated the details of a design to him, which he dutifully recorded in The First Book of Mystery. According to the manuscripts, the seal was to be constructed from purified wax, in the shape of a disk, one and oneeighth inches thick and nine inches in diameter. The back of the seal was to

bear an equilateral cross about which the Divine Name "AGT.A"2 had been graven. The word was to start in the upper left quadrant formed by the cross and run clockwise around the successive chambers.

AGLA Cross on the obverse of the Sigillum Dei.

The front of the seal bore the now-famous complex geometric design with It is the names around this inner pentagram that give the most overt evidence of the planetary forces that are, quite literally, at the heart of the Sigillum Dei.In rhe center of the penragram is a crucifix, abour which is written the letters LA, VA, NA, and EL-Levanael. Another name extends from each point of the pentagram: Zedekieil, Madimiel, Semeliel, Nogahel, and Corabiel. Finally, surrounding the entirety of the inner chamber is the name Zabathi. This name , Zabathi, actually omits the ".e1" suffix that is appended to the orher names, and terminares with the numbers 2l and 8. If we look to the outer circumference of the Sigillum Dei, the letters having these numeric values are "e" and "1", respectively, so we see that these numbers are a blind for this same "-el" suffix. This fulfills the remainder of the seventh and final name, Zabathi(el).These names have precedence outside of a pentagram at the center.

The "Sons of Light" are the third set of angels, appearing within the interlaced bands of the heptagram that serve as the boundary for the two inner heptagons.While the sequence of angels in the previous two sections is found by moving around the heptagon in sequence, the Sons of Light at first would appear to break this format. To see the continuing pattern, one must follow the interwoven bands of the heptagram as it works its way around the sigil rather than just looking at the next name to the right. The names of the Sons of Light can be derived from the Planetary Square by reading down and to the right from the lower left hand corner: I, Ih, Ilr, Dmal, Heeoa, Beigia, and Stimcul. Note that the last letter in Stimcul is here given as "L"'while in the derivation of the Sons of the Sons of Light (whose names also intersect this square) it is given as "E." Both are technically correctr as this square contains both the letters 2l ("8") and 8 ("L"). 2l

A series of forty mixed capital and minuscule letters encircle the circumference of the Sigillum Dei.\7ith a few notable exceptions, each of the letters in this series has been paired with a number either above or below it. The first letter given is the capital "T," which is paired with the number 4; the final letter given is a lowercase Greek omega, presumably to indicate the end of the sequence, which of course also reveals its start. According to Dee's writings, each character was received in the form of an angel, referred to as an "Angel of Lightr" forty such angels arranged in eight companies of five. Each angel would appear, display the letter and corresponding number, and then disappear, each arriving and withdrawing in its own unique way. It was the Archangel Michael, with the aid of a second angel, Semiel, that presided over the lengthy discourse in which the circumference was revealed, but there were a few missing letters once the scrying session was complete.

Not long thereafter, Kelley requested the work and locked himself away in his study, where he was conveniently contacted by the angel Uriel, who supplied the corrections. Kelley's opportune communication with Uriel obviously made Dee suspicious, and he in turn contacted the angel Michael to discover the truth. His notes indicate that he was told, quite simply, "Truth is only with God."u Perhaps Dee wanted it to be true, as he seemed satisfied with this relatively unhelpful message, although he was told the seer (Kelley) merely neglected to communicate the missing letters during the course of the operation. Questions of Kelley's seemingly obvious duplicity aside, what remains is an alpha-numeric sequence whose purpose is to construct a series of seven Divine Names that are distinct from the Secret Names constructed from the Planetary Square. Note that the associated alpha-numeric pairings on the circumference also provide the key to the numeric substitutions on the Planetary Square. For example, the letter on the circumference associated with the number 30 is "L," used in deriving the names Rocle and Akele.

Dee's reading of the Names.

If the set of names of the Daughters of Light was intended to have been read counter-clockwise like the others, they would appear as El, Em, Ese, Anai, Eleka, Nbodza and Lucmits. Given that the Planetary Intelligences themselves are written on the square counter-clockwise, down and to the left from the upper left corner, it seems reasonable to assume that the other names should also read counter-clockwise. I also feel that there is more of a case to be made for an error in one set of names than in three. Accepting such, the names of the Daughters of Light should be corrected to El, Em, Ese, Anai, Eleka, Nbodza and Lucmits, with the other Children of Light being correct as given.

So what is this new Divine Name? Reading the letters in reverse, one is compelled to consider an encoded message by either Dee, or more likely in this case, Kelley. It reads "no my rob." Is this an admission of guilt or complicity for having taken something that was clearly from a pre-existing source, despite the manuscripts explicitly stating it was "already perfected" in one of Dee's books, The Sworn Book of Honorius? It is possible, but before going out too far on that limb, it would be well to consider that the letters can also be re-arranged to spell "by moron." Personally, I would be inclined to include Borymon as a secret Divine Name, rather than taking it as being a veiled admission of either duplicity or stupidity on the part of Dee or I{elley.

planetary names.The name of the angel ofJupiter, which is given as Zedekieil, adds an extra "i" to the namer breaking up the "el" suffix. A more consistent rendition would be Zedekiel. Note that this might also be spelled "Tzedekiel," as the Hebrew for Jupiter is Tzedek (TzDI!, and the common transliteration of the first letter (tzaddi) is "T2", not "Z." This combination is still an approximation, however, since this letter sequence never occurs in the English language. Given that there is no direct phonetic equivalent, I have chosen to retain the renaissance value of "2." Even more minor, but worth noting, is that Dee and Kelley neglect the "i" preceding the -el suffix in rendering the angel of Venus as Nogahel, which might also read Nogahiel. The following table lists the English transliteration of the Hebrew, Dee's rendering of the Planetary Intelligences, and a revision intended to more closely resemble the Hebrew root.

Now that we have a newly derived set of Planetary Intelligences) we should be able to re-construct the inner pentagram and Planetary Square, since they are ultimately created from the letters of these names. Recall that Dee had to do some questionable accounting in order to make the letters conform to the forty-nine chambers available in the Planetary Square. In several instances, letters were omitted as necessary by alpha-numeric replacement to ensure

that the result would work out to the proper count. However, the way in which this was done was rather arbitrary. In some instances the "el" suffix was abandoned in favor of its numeric equivalents, while in other instances only the "1" was similarly replaced. In counting the letters of the newly derived names for the Planetary Intelligences) we see that there are certainly more than the requisite forty-nine, so it seems that we are going to have to manage some form of reduction as well if an actual improvement is to be made.

The names of the Archangels can also be reconstituted with some minor revisions based on their Hebrew roots. Unlike the case of the Planetary Square, however, no letters in the Archangelic Square need to be reduced. The greatest change comes in restoring the name of the Archangel of Mars, Kamael, which is given by Dee as Cumael. The remaining letters, including the cross, remain intact. Overall, this causes a slight modification to the outer heptagon, but on a much smaller scale than the alterations resulting from the revision of the Planetary Square. Note that, unlike the Planetary Square, the similar Hebrew "compound letters" pehrwhich is represented as "Phr" and cheth, which is represented as "Chr" are not grouped into a single square or chamber. These combinations occur in the names of the archangels Zaphkiel, Raphael, and Michael. The Hebrew letter tzaddi (Tz), however, is still consistently rendered as "Z" in the Archangelic Square in the case of Zaphkiel and Zadkiel, much as the rendering of Zedekiel, the Planetary Angel of Jupiter.

If we refer back to the concept of the Four Worlds, we find that each of these worlds is attributed to a masculine or feminine familial archetype: Father, Mother, Son, and Daughter. These relate to the worlds of Atziluth (Archetypal), Briah (Creative), Yetzirah (Formative), and Assiah (Physical), respectively. If we look at the sigil, we see that the gender attributes of the Children of Light mirror this exactly with a Son, a Daughter, a Son of a Son, and a Daughter of a Daughter. Given that we move from a base or material aspect to a more refined and ethereal one as we move outward, we need only swap the places of the Sons of the Sons of Light and the Daughters of the Daughters of Light, and those of the Sons of Light and the Daughters of Light, to obtain a perfect symmetry with the pattern of familial archetypes in the FourrVorlds! tX/ith this new arrangement, the outermost order will be the Sons of Light as the Father archetype, instead of the Daughters of Light, which will be the next order inward as the Mother archetype within the bands of the heptagram. Then, in the second heptagon from the center, we have the Sons of the Sons of Light as the Son archetype, with the Daughters of the Daughters of Light innermost, representing the Daughter archetype. \We thus obtain symmetry between the Sigillum Dei and one of the core concepts of the Kabbalah, the pattern of the sigil's outward progression toward the Divine being now perfectly aligned. V4eile Dee's notes indicate that the central cross is a true "crucifix," I feel that an equilateral cross is actually more fitting, denoting the elements and the physical world, which fits perfectly within the pattern of the sigil as the terra firma amidst the swirling choirs of angels in the successive rings of the Sigillum Dei that surround it. Note that this alignment does not change either the names of the angels or their associated Orders, only the sequence in which they are presented. The hidden Divine Name of Borymon is also introduced into the seal, replacing the duplicated name of Galethog in the spaces between the large heptagon containing the names of the Archangels and the outer circumference containing the Divine Names derived from the Angels of Light.

While at first they may seem of little consequence, these few simple amendments actually have a profound impact on the overall composition of the seal. The Planetary Square, which defines the majority of the names found on the Sigillum Dei, has the greatest effect, for even though very few alterations were made to the actual names, it was the consistency with which we distributed the lerrers, or equally the lack of consistency in Dee and Kelley's distribution, that caused the greatest change. The other alteration was of course the re-arrangement of the angelic orders to mirror the familial archetypes of the Fourrworlds.This is such an important concept within the realms of I(abbalistic thought that it seems surprising that Dee and Kelley did not incorporate it themselves. The result is a version of the Sigillum Dei that

I would suggest any oil-based paint might suffice.) The characters themselves are written in the Enochian alphabet, given in the appendices, with twentyone letters on each side of the table and the Enochian letter "B" in each corner. The head (top) of each letter is innermost in all cases, such that they face outward around the edge of the Table of Practice, and each side is written left to right. These letters create the border of a large seal, known as the Holy Table, which decorates the top of theTable of Practice. Thus the HolyThble is actually an image painted on top of the Thble of Practice, and is therefore neither the Table of Practice itself, nor another physical table. Dominating the Holy Thble is a large hexagram traced from border to border, in the center of which is the small table of characters with four rows and three columns. Like the border, these characters are Enochian script. The positioning of the Sigillum Dei is in the center of this hexagram and square.

The letters of this seal can be found by observing subsets of the square used for its construction, implying that the Protective Seal is an encoding of the square of the Kings and Princes into a cohesive symbol.The square, given herein in the permutation proper to the derivation of the Protective Seal as opposed to the HolyThble, consisrs of eighty-four letrers as before. o

Square for the Protective Seal.

To determine the letters between the two squares forming the rather larger border of the overall sigil, you must "overlay" this same view on the square of the Kings and Princes.You thus surround the "heart" of the sigil with this set of characters and exclude the outermost two columns on either side. In the upper left corner of the Protective Seal, for example, you find the letters, "or" "nr" and "rr" and these are the same letters found in the upper left of the pattern we set on the letter-square. You can similarly follow the positions of the other letters between the two large squares on the Protective Seal. o

archangel who many centuries later would also play a pivotal role in John Dee's occult endeavors. Michael bestowed upon King Solomon a magic ring that he told would command any demon, which of course lead to the rescue of the child.The King later used the ring to summon and command a number of well-known demons, including Beelzebub and Asmodeus, who Solomon even compelled to labor on his now-legendary Temple. It should perhaps come as no surprise that the later grimoires that allude to the Solomonic Ring never actually seem to agree on its form, so the term should be considered more of a general classification of rings designed to be used in commanding or exorcising spirits. Thus it was that the Solomonic Ring became a staple of the grimoire genre) appearing most famously in The Goetia, one of the books of the Lesser Key of Solomon.t Dee also wrote of the Solomonic Ring in a section just preceding the description of theTable of Practice in the first of The Fiae Books of Mystery. There he was told pointedly that without it "thou shalt do nothing," and the ring he describes is referred to specifically as a Ring of Solomon. It is a relatively simple design, with a square face engraved with a circle and horizontal line.lVritten clockwise around the corners starting in the upper left is the name PELE, meaning a "worker of miracles," which Agrippa suggests is from 2 the Biblical "Book of Judges." In fact, the word pele in Hebre% as N)D, means "miracler" or "wonder." The letters "L" and "V" which intersect the ring's circle, are less certain, but might represent the principal letters of the phrase from the "Book of Judges" (13:18) in which pele appears: tN)!:N"t;"t't:tD!7), often

from Christian Scripture. This was the common approach given in the grimoires of this period, which commanded the various spirits to appear by virtue of the power inherent in these "barbarous names of evocation" -generally variants of Hebrew and Greek names for the Divine. The Greater Key of Solomon and The Lesser Key of Solomon, along with the earlier Heptameron by Peter de Abano, are examples par excellence of this approach. Heptameron, also known as The Magical Elements) is mentioned explicitly be Dee himself in the first of The Fiae Books of Mystery, where he notes that the angel Salamian is the same angel as mentioned in that book under the name Salamia.t This angel appears in "The Conjuration of the Lord's Day," an oration/evocation designed for angels related to the Sun. It seems quite likely, although difficult to prove decisively, that Heptameron was a major influence on Dee's work with evocation, as it would have been (and continues to be) one of the seminal texts on the art. "The Conjuration of the Lord's Day" also includes the Archangel Michael, who even more than Salamian features prominently in the reception of the Sigillum Dei. As an aside, recall that in the second chapter I mentioned occasional inconsistencies between grimoires with respect to inverting the planetary attributions of Michael and Raphael. Here is an example of just that, for in the Heptameron we find Michael described as the Solar archangel and Raphael given as the Mercurial, exactly the opposite of Agrippa, and subsequently Dee. As there are no extant rituals, and Abano's work is specifically mentioned in Dee's manuscripts, it seems reasonable to adapt the form of the orations given therein for the purpose of evoking the Children of Light, especially since the Heptameron is unmistakably dedicated to planetary magick. While a different oration is given for each day, each of which is naturally related to a planet, the fundamental formula is always the same: the magician invokes one or more God Names as his authority, includes the Archangel, and directs the ministering angels to perform whatever duties might be prescribed to them. Here then follows a short oration based loosely on those of the Heptameron. Placeholders have been designated into which can be inserted the appropriate names drawn from whichever codex the practitioner chooses to employ. In composing the oration I have attempted to retain a slightly archaic prose style, in keeping with that of the period in which this type of magic evolved. You may of course choose to derive your own. l. Abano,

Once the operation is complete it is common practice to give the spirit

a

license to depart, unless it has already left of its own accord. If the spirit has not been bound to stay for any length of time, it is free to leave whenever it so chooses, making the license unnecessary. Typically, amicable spirits such as those of the Sigillum Dei will stay until the operation is completed, but it is always a good idea to give parting thanks for whatever aid they may have offered. The spirit should then depart immediately, unless there is some important matter left unattended. In fact, the magician(s) will typically feel its departure as strongly as they felt its arrival. Once the spirit has left, it can be helpful to ring a bell, knock loudly upon the altar top, or stamp a foot on the floor, stating firmly and clearly that the ritual has ended. This provides a clear delineation and helps bring everyone back to normal consciousness. A version of the license to depart that would be suitable for closing a conjuration undertaken with the Sigillum Dei is printed below.

The License to Depart O great and powerful Child of Light, [AngelJ, I thank you for your appearance and willingness to qid us on this day. Depart, as be tl4t will, unto your abode, and let there ez,ter be peace between us. Amen.

Following the departure of the spirit, it is a good practice to gather and review the record. It is especially important for the scryer to elaborate on any unrecorded evidence from the course of the evocation so that nothing is missed. A small and seemingly inconsequential event may actually be the very key to realizing your goal. Furthermore, a well-kept and well-preserved record will provide dividends for the rest of your magical career, assuming you intend to have one. Consider that if John Dee had not been such an exceptional diarist (a trait well ahead of his time), we would not have even the slightest knowledge of his work, and of course would therefore also have been denied the luxury of debating its merits herein. The process of choosing the Child of Light best suited for the operation is relatively simple, and we benefit greatly from the associations we have built

By using the elemental correspondences to determine the Order of the Children of Light, as well as the planetary correspondences to select which angel of this Order best suits our aimJ the magician can simply and precisely identifii the angel that will best be able to facilitate his or her desired outcome. It is of no consequence whether it is the elemental or the planetary quality that is determined first, but once both have been determined their intersection will define the angel of the Children of Light best suited ro manage the task. In contrast, the planetary association alone is sufficient to determine the appropriate Divine Name, Archangel, and Secret Name. PraNer

That being said, this book contains all that is required to perform the operation of calling forth the Children of Light. Having had experience with a number of different systems of evocation, including those of The Goetia, the Enochian and others, I find the system of the Sigillum Dei both fascinating and incredibly powerful. Study it, rear it apart, rebuild it, understand it, and by all means use it. The future of the Sigillum Dei is yours to explore and shape.

Then came in Michael with a sword in his hand, unto him, "Art thou Michael?"

as he was

wont, and I said

[M] Doubt not: I am he which rejoices in him that rejoices in the fortitude and strength of God. [D] Is this form, for the Great

Seal, perfect?

[M] The form is true and perfect. Thou shalt swear by the Living God, the strength of his Mercy and his Medicinal virtue poured into man's soul, never to disclose these Mysteries.

[D] If no man by no means shall perceive anything hereof, by me, I would think that I should not do well. [M] Nothing is cut from the Church of God. Thee in his saints are blessed for ever. \We separate thee from defiled and wicked persons. We move thee to God. [D] I voq

as

you require. God be my help and guide, now and ever, amen.

[M] This is a Mystery scarce worthy for us ourselves to know, much reveal. Art thou, then, so contented?

less to

[D] I am. God be my strength.

[M]

Blessed art thou among the Saints, and blessed are you both.

I will pluck

thee from among the wicked (he spoke to my scryer). Thou commit idolatry, but take heed of temptation. The Lord hath blessed thee. This is a Mystery.

He spoke that to us,lest we might doubt of his last speeches to Semiel.e

as

being spoken

Semiel stood up and flaming fire came out of his mouth, and then he said follows:

as

[S] Mighty Lord, what would thou with theThbles?

[M] It

is the

will of God: thou fetch them hither.

[S] I am his Thbles. Behold these are his tables. Lo, where they are.

[D] There came in 40 White Creatures all in white silk, long robes, and they like children; and all they falling on their knees said "Thou only art Holy among the highest, O God. Thy Name be blessed forever." Michael stood up out of his chair and by and by all his legs seemed to be like two great pillars of brass, and he as high as half way to the heaven. Any by and by his sword was all on fire and he stroke or drew his sword over all their 40 heads. The Earth quaked, and the 40 fell down, and Michael called Semiel with a thundering voice and said, "Declare the Mysteries of the Living God, our God, of one that liveth forever." [S] I am ready. Semiel: forte significant Nomen meam Deus: Ita quod tabulae iste sunt Nomen Dei vel nomina Divina.ro

[D]

[D] Michael stroke over them with his sword again and they all fell down, and Uriel also ... knees. And commonly at the striking with his sword flaming like lightning did flash with all.

[M] Note: here is a Mystery. 9. 10.

[D] Then stepped one forth and like a water running round about him and he cried miserably, "O benedictum nomen tuam, Domine. Numeris perijt cum illis."3u A little "o" with 18 over it appeared. This shower seemed to vanish away and to cause a great water remain over all.

[M] Lux manet in tenebris. Gloriosum

est Nomen

tuum."

[D] Then stepped one forth from the rest, who fell down,

as thefu manner

was.

NOTE: All the Companies of these 40 stood five together and five togerher, and so in eight companies each of five. [D] This was a very white one.The upper parts of his throat seemed open and there seemed to come out of it fire, in very many and diverse colors. He said, .. l8'- lrlnus sum.-'

[M] Benedictum sit Nomen

El.3e

[D] Then in the middle of the fires or smoke seemed an "l," thrice placed on a bloody cross and over the "lr" the number 26.

This shower seemed to have three men's heads and to vanish away in a mist with a thunder. 35. "He has no number. A1l things pass away from the face of God and from the face of the

earth." 36. "O blessed is your name, o Lord.The number passed away with those ones." 37. "The light remains in the darkness.Your name is glorious." 38.

"I

am threefold."

39. "May the name El be blessed."

After every of the 7 letters showed, he did put them up in his bosom as soon as he had showed them fully. The plates whereon these letters were showed have the form of the segment of a circle, thus, and seemed to be of pure gold. When the 7 letters were placed, he said: "Omnia unum est."'nt Then he pulled all the 7 plates out of his bosom and Uriel kneeled down before him. Then the plates did seem to have two wings (each of them) and to fly up to heaven under the Canopy. After this, one of the 7 baskets (that which is in the east) came to Michael and he said:

[M]

Seal this. For this was and is forever.

[D] Then he stood again on his legs like brazen pillars and said:

tM] O how mighty is the name of God which reigns in the heavens, O God of the faithful, for thou reign for ever.

[D] He opened the basket and there came

a great

fire out of it.

[M] Divide the 7 parts of the circle next unto that which thou hast done, every one into 7.

Note (for the time will be long): Seven rest in 7: and the 7 live by 7: the 7 govern the 7: and by 7 all Government is. Blessed be he, yea, blessed be the Lord, praised be our God. His Name be magnified. All honor and Glory be unto him now and for ever. Amen.

[D] Then he took out of the fire in the basket a white fowl like a pigeon. That fowl had a Z upon the first of 7 feathers which were on his breast. That first feather was on the left side.

[M] Note there is a mystery in the seven, which are the 7 governing the which govern the earth. Halleluyah. 107. "A11 things are one."

After a quarter of an hour, Michael and Uriel came both again.

[M] Look into the 7 angles next unto the uppermost circumference. [D] Uriel came and stood before Michael. [U] Those 7 letters are the 7 seats of the One and everlasting GOD. His 7 secret angels proceeding from every letter and cross so formed, referred to in substance to the FATHER, in form to the SON, and inwardly to the HOLY GHOST. Look upon it: it is one of the Names which thou hast before, every letter containing an angel of Brightness comprehending the 7 inward powers of God known to none but himself, a sufficient BOND to urge all creatures to life or death or any thing else contained in this world. It banishes the wicked, expels evil sprits, qualifies the waters, strengthens the just, exalts the righteous

and destroys the wicked. He is ONE in SEVEN. He is twice THREE. He is seven in the Vrhole. He is Almighty. His name is everlasting. His Truth can not fail. His glory is incomprehensible. Blessed be his name. Blessed be thou (our GOD) for ever. and great mysteries and mark these 7 diverse [D] Note these manifold I lo wrth the / letters.

And these letters should be equally distant, and should surround the circle with that series which was named before, and in this way the great name of the Lord, the "Shemhamphorasch" of seventy-two letters, will be completed. lWhen this is done, in the middle of the circles, namely in the center, make one pentagram of this sort *', in the middle of which should be the sign "tau" of this sort: T, and above this sign write the name of God "El" and below another name of God, namely "Elyr" in this way.

-t blv

Then, below the upper angle of the pentagram, write these two letters: "lr" "xr" and below the other angle on the right, these two: "ar" "lr" and in the other after that, these two: "lr" "ar" and in the other after that: "lr" "cr" and in the other after that: "Llr" "m." Then, around the pentagram, make one heptagon, of which the upper side after its middle should touch the upper angle of the pentagram, where "1," "xr" was written. And on the same side of the heptagon write this name of the holy angel, which is Casziel [Cassiel], and on the other side on the right, this name of another holy angel, which is Satquiel [Tzadkiel], then in the other, Samael, and in the other) Raphael, after that Anael, after that Michael, after that Gabriel, and in this way the seven sides of the heptagon will be filled. Then around this aforementioned heptagon, make another heptagon not as the first was made but in this way, so that one side of this will intersect the next side of the same one. Then, make another heptagon such as the first one was) whose seven angles should touch the seven angles of the second heptagon, which appears to be double. This heptagon, however, should be enclosed under the aforementioned second one. One side of the second heptagon will proceed by going over and another by going under, but the side following the first angle will proceed by going under, and those which follow will be one or the other in the series of going over and going under. Then, in every angle of the second heptagon, one cross should be painted. Then, in that side of the second heptagon which crosses from the farthest angle of the same to the second angle of the same, on the same side which is above Casziel, the syllables of a certain holy name of God should be written.

"That you, Lord, through the annunciation, conceptionr" and the rest, "See fit to bless and consecrate this, your most hallowed name and sigil. "That through it, with you as intermediary, I or such person N may be able to conquer the heavenly powers, airy and earthly, with the infernal ones, to subdue, to invoke, to transmute, to conjure, to control, to raise up, to gather together, to disperse, to bind, and to render them harmlessl "to calm men, and from them to pleasantly have one's requests to pacifit enemies, to separate the pacified, to keep the healthy in health or to make them sick, and to cure the sick. "To guard good men from evil ones, and to distinguish and know them, to escape every bodily danger, to make informers quiet in satisfaction, to gain victory in all things. "To destroy bodily sins and to drive away, conquer and avoid spiritual sins, to increase wealth in goods, and on the day of judgment, to appear on your right together with your holy and chosen ones, be able to know your majesty."

And then, he should set it outside his house at night under the clear sky. Then you should have new gloves made without whitening, in which no one ever has placed his hand, in which the sigil should be sealed. And in this way this most sacred sigil will be completed, of which the first heptagon designates the seven orders, the second designates the seven double junctures, the third designates the seven sacraments.

The teachings of the now-ubiquitous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn also assigned a sequence of numbers to the letters of the Enochian alphabet. The number nine is conspicuous by its absence, its omission occasioned by the lack of an Enochian equivalent of the Greek letter theta. Whether S. L. MacGregor Mathers and his brethren in the Order used the same logical process as outlined here to determine the numerical attributes of the Enochian alphabet is of course unknown. Naturally the forgoing analysis will be rejected by those who persist in adhering to the notion that the Enochian alphabet was received by direct angelic communication. However, given Dee's acknowledged use of the Greek language to encode his personal writings, and that the Enochian alphabet itself is easily reconstructed by transliterating across a somewhat lenient intersection of English and Greek, it must be said that the premise of an angelic origin for the language appears truly unlikely.
