The Enochian Evocation of Dr. John Dee

by Geoffrey James

Based on the transcriptions of Dr. John Dee, the famous Elizabethan scientist and magus, The Enochian Evocation of Dr. John Dee is the translation of the original material received from direct Angelic contact. In 1852 Dee and his partner Edward Kelly, while gazing into a crystal stone, began to see and hear angels. These beings desired to re-establish the true art of magic, which had been lost due to man’s wickedness and ignorance. The true magical art, these beings claimed, would bestow superhuman powers upon its practitioners, change the political structure of Europe, and herald the coming of the Apocalypse. Dee believed this research would greatly benefit mankind and documented all of the channeled information into a series of manuscripts and workbooks. Author Geoffrey James presents here the direct translation of the core of the channeled material itself, framed in a historical context, with authority and integrity.

Pair this up with Turners' Elizabethan Magic and you'll be good to go. I like to think of them as the dynamic duo.

An excellent work. James studiously edits the entire body of extant Enochian sources from Dee in order to produce a structure that functions as an Enochian Grimoire. James's preface also provides a wealth of insight into the angelic dialogues and provides a concise dismissal of the notion that Kelley was merely perpetrating a fraudulent scheme upon Dee.

Essential for those interested in Dee or Enochian magic.

It's...okay, but i was disappointed because when i bought this book i thought its layout would be more similar to the original edition and also closer to the translated edition i found elsewhere.

Hard to understand, but very intense reading if you can get into the right mindset

Despite some errors and typos, recommended for Enochian students.

This is probably one of the better books about this topic that I've read.
