Assignment 1
The founders of the "Enochian Magic System" were John Dee and Edward Kelley. Both lived in the 16th Century. Both were originally well respected men who fell to ill repute, due to their interest in magic. John Dee was dedicated to the Church of England. John Dee was a noted Welsh mathematician, consultant to Elizabeth I. He founded the greatest library in England.
When John Dee and Edward Kelley met, they began to live a nomadic lifestyle, practicing magic together. Both were regularly imprisoned, accused of being "charlatans." John Dee impressed Edward Kelley with his "Enochian Keys," which were "calls" or entrances into the magical or spirit world. Enochian magic is considered a powerful magic, dangerous if practiced improperly. It is also considered "white magic," although later Anton LaVey (founder of the Satanic church,) corrupted the keys by producing dark representations of them.
John Dee has an unearned reputation for being evil, due to Anton LaVey. It's interesting that the creators of the Blair Witch Project named the witch "Elly Kedward," which is a "spoonerism" or letter mix-up of Edward Kelly's name.
The "Book of Enoch," is considered to be a secret book of the Bible, written by Noah's son. It contains the "Book of the Watchers."
Here are a few Enochian words that may be fun for students to know:
AG- No
BAGLE- Why or Because
Ooaona- Eyes
Ooe- Ecstacy
Zirdo- I am
Next week's course will focus on learning the Enochian keys.
Our class is still open to new students and we also need another teacher.
