Origin 1583

Enochian Letters is the alphabet John Dee and Edward Kelley recorded during their sixteenth century scrying sessions, presented as angelic revelation. Ceremonial magicians generally treat it as a distinct language with its own grammar rather than as a cipher for Hebrew or English.

Facts
Overview
What Defines This GroupingSourced to the subject's own account
Twenty-one letters received by Edward Kelley and recorded by John Dee. Unlike the ciphers beside it, it is presented by its receivers as the script of a language of its own: the received order is not the Latin order, and the sequence opens at Pa, which answers to the Latin B. 2

The Enochian letters

This group holds the letters of the Enochian alphabet, the script of the Enochian system of angel magic received by the Elizabethan scholar John Dee and the scryer Edward Kelley in the 1580s, who recorded it as an angelic language revealed in their sessions. It was later taken up by the Golden Dawn and by Aleister Crowley.

The browser will find the individual letters and their meanings. The atlas presents the alphabet as a historical artifact of Dee and Kelley's work and its later magical use, describing each letter within that tradition.
