This was some information that I put together..I'm not really sure where to put it, so I'm posting it here.
What is Enochian?
Enochian is an occult language popularised by John Dee and Edward Kelley in the 16th Century. Dee and Kelley claimed that it was revealed to them by angels, though most contemporary practitioners of magick consider it a constructed language. The name "Enochian" is a reference to the Book of Enoch, a pseudepigraphal text and a major source of Judeo-Christian angelology.

Bree was studying Enochian for her ceremony. In a google search to find any ceremonies related to Enochian, I discovered Eco-magic rituals. Many of these rituals have to do with taking certain steps towards specific directions and speaking the occult language.
Here is an example of an Enochian ritual:

As you noticed, there are many times in that ritual where there is movement. Those of you familiar with pagan beliefs or wicca or magick in general will understand some of the terms used here and the importance of facing specific direcions.Link: http://www.hermetic.com/enochia/personal_enochian.html

From the dictionary of the Golden Dawn..The apocryphal book of Enoch told of the order of angels called "Watchers," or "The Sleepless Ones." The leader of the Watchers was called Semjaza (in other places, Azazel, the name of one of the Hebrews' principal demons), who led 200 Watchers down to Earth to take wives from among the daughters of men. It was from such a union that the Nephilim, the giants, the heroes of old, as well as the ancient practitioners of sorcery, were born. The fallen angels taught their wives to cast various spells and to practice the arts of enchantment. They imparted to the women the lore of plants and the properties of certain roots. Semjaza did not neglect human men, teaching them how to manufacture weapons and tools of destruction
Sounds like what Bree is involved in. Perhaps the ceremony was an initiation into the Order.Initiation: A ceremony, ritual, test, or period of instruction with which a new member is admitted to an organization or level of attainment.
. Hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread but I have foudn some weird coincidances along similar subjects. I was basically taking a link-trip through Wikipedia and historical people, and came up with some weird connections I want to post here (well, weird to me anyways, though it could just be sleep deprivation! 
)
that is spooky!!!
