are pretty good. Hope it does something for you, other than sending your good self
into a confused slumber.
On to your email: I was aware of the abábâlond reference. It is most fortuitous I must
agree. I cited the key I did as it was received by Dee and Kelly before the 19 th . The
angels seemed well aware of Her nature and Name.
Geoffrey James’s Enochian book is indeed good, but is lacking in many respects. His
Latin is weak, at times (though I’m going from memory and haven’t made a recent
comparison), and he doesn’t seem to grasp the nature of the material accurately or
thoroughly in many respects. Thus his lack of suitable explanatory texts.
There are 49 Keys, and not 19 as might appear. The “first” Key, sometimes called the
“zero Key” is extracted from the “Round Table of Nalvage”, and may be seen on Ben
Rowe’s site: http://w3.one.net/~browe/enochian.htm. It appears to express the
fundamental duality of existence, and the angels told Dee not to use it, but devious
creatures they were, gave it to him just the same. The “19 th Key” is used for all 30 of the
Æthyrs. As written, it contains the name lil, the first Æthyr. To perform the call of any
other Æthyr, simply substitute its name for that of the first.
Therefore, there are 1+18+30 = 49 Keys, total. There are other Golden Dawnish
ways of getting at the Æthyrs through the Keys, but we’ll get to that in due time. It has
to do with how the sigils of the “Governors” are overlaid on the Great Table.
If you find yourself “hooked” on Enochian, you have my deepest sympathy. It has
been many years since I was first introduced, and I am as fascinated today as I was back
then. Odd as it may seem, Grady once said that you don’t have to call the Enochian
spirits: when you’re ready, they will come for you. I don’t pretend to stand in your shoes,
but as an observer, it seems that with kaos-babalon, as it’s been manifesting of late,
this indeed seems to be the case for you. Hope you find this as amusing as I do.
The “cryptography as proof ” angle I like. When you read some of the diaries, you
will find that some of the material was received by the angels pointing out the letters on
tables, copies of which Dee had constructed for this purpose. It provided sort of a
double-blind. Really neat concept, that.
I had intended to append the chunks of “the Maqlû” text to this email, but it is
already somewhat late, it’s hotter than the hinges of hell up here in the office, and it will
just have to wait. Lilith, as one of a trio of nocturnal beasties, definitely makes an
appearance, in three separate passages, and the text contains an Assyrian, or I suppose
an Assyrian translation of a Sumerian, charm against them. Really neat stuff. I was led
to believe that these clay tablets are in fact the oldest known grimoire. Tallqvist translates
them into German, the same language as his paper. As previously stated, my German
isn’t up to the task, but with a dictionary in one hand, I could at least get by well enough
