Enochian reference

Twenty-one letters. Each square of the tables carries one of them, and every name is read from them; the Calls are written in them. The Latin values are those Liber Chanokh gives on its plate of the alphabet; the names beside them (Un, Pa, Veh and the rest) are the ones the Golden Dawn used, and no witness for them is yet on this site. Three letters serve two sounds each: I stands for Y as well, C for K, and U for V and W.

The Calls were delivered letter by letter and backwards in April 1584, and given again forwards in May with a sounding set out in syllables, which Casaubon's print keeps beside each word (pp. 119 to 137: Noas, Ta qu a nis, Ca ósg); that sounding is collated word by word beneath each Key in the Calls section, and the reading below is Liber Chanokh's. Chanokh gives one rule and prints every Key pointed by it:

Pronounce Elemental language (also called Angelic or Enochian) by inserting the next following Hebrew vowel between consonants, "e.g." e after b (bEth), i after g (gImel), a after d, etc.

Liber Chanokh (1912)

Dee's record has a sounding of its own for a few names of the first part, given by the angel on 26 June 1584 as the names were read out of the Table. They are quoted here as Casaubon's print keys them, each with its page:

A Watchtower is twelve columns by thirteen rows. Its middle row and its two middle columns make the Great Cross, and the cross divides the tablet into four lesser angles. Everything a practitioner calls by name sits in one of these places. The seven stops below light each place on a schematic of the Air tablet; the link opens the same place on the Great Table itself, with its letters and every name it belongs to, the names read from the letters by Liber Chanokh's rules.

No name is looked up: each is read from the squares by a rule. The Three Holy Names run along the middle row, three, four and five letters; the King is read in a whorl about the centre; each Senior runs from the centre outward along an arm of the cross; in a lesser angle the Calvary Cross gives two divine names, the four squares above its arm the Kerubic name and its rotations, and the sixteen beneath the servient names. Liber Chanokh states the rules, and this site applies them to the letters of its tablets.

Nineteen Calls, or Keys, are printed. Liber Chanokh gives the rule of their use: the First for the Tablet of Union as a whole, the Second for its line of Spirit, the Third to the Sixth for the four tablets, each with the angle of its own element, the Seventh to the Eighteenth for the other angles in the order Air, Water, Earth, Fire, and the Nineteenth for the Aethyrs. The grid below is computed from that rule: find the tablet in its row and the angle in its column.

Thirty Aethyrs, from LIL, the first, to TEX, the thirtieth, each with three Governors, the last with four. Dee's Liber Scientiae gives each Governor a part of the earth and a King of the twelve, in his own autograph. The Vision and the Voice skries them inward, from the thirtieth to the first, and this site follows that order as its own arrangement: no Aethyr is assigned to an outward end. Where the Cries spell an Aethyr otherwise than Chanokh, both spellings are shown.

Before the tables and the Calls, the angels gave Dee seven Kings and seven Princes with their offices, one pair to each day of the week. The sentences below are those in which each office is stated, in Dee's spelling, from one witness only; neither the Golden Dawn nor The Vision and the Voice treats the Heptarchy.

Three traditions use this material, and each states its own procedure. The tables below set them side by side, act by act and element by element, every cell in its source's words or marked as saying nothing. Differences between the traditions remain visible. Dee's cells quote Casaubon's print of 1659, each linked to its page in the archive; the Golden Dawn's quote Liber Chanokh, and where a fact stands only in Regardie it is cited and not reproduced; Thelema's quote The Vision and the Voice and Liber Chanokh.
