The Enochian material stands somewhat apart, a self-contained angelic system recorded in Dee and Kelley's scrying diaries and later reworked by the Golden Dawn and by Aleister Crowley. The entries describe these systems as historical and textual objects (who set them down, in which books, and how they were used), without claiming that the operations succeed.Cross-Tradition ConnectionsArticle OnCeremonial & Esoteric Magic, Sections Well-attested Source Divinity Atlas Long-Form Articles, First Editiontier 1SourcesDivinity Atlas Long-Form Articles, First Editiontier 1Comments (0)No comments yet.
