The complete reference for understanding the Enochian language (“the language of the angels”), the proper pronunciation of the letters of the Enochian alphabet, and the use of evocations to call forth celestial beings and perform Enochian magic.
In 1581, Dr. John Dee, an advisor in the court of Queen Elizabeth I, began a series of scrying experiments intended to explore the ability to contact the spirit world. With Edward Kelley acting as the medium in these experiments, Dee was able to record these communications as they were transmitted in Enochian, the language of the angels. Dr. Dee’s efforts furthered the development of the system of Enochian magic and his methods of invocation have been taken up and expounded upon by Aleister Crowley and many other magicians.
Donald C. Laycock has thoroughly analyzed the work of Dee and Kelley. In this volume, he recounts the history of their experiments. He provides a pronunciation guide for the twenty-one letters, significant to untangling both the meaning and the derivation of the messages handed down from Dee and Kelley, and an essential Enochian/English and English/Enochian dictionary. The result is a fascinating linguistic and magical mystery story integral to any study of the Enochian tradition.
This new edition of Laycock’s work includes a new preface by Stephen Skinner that sets the tone and historical context for today’s readers. Lon Milo DuQuette’s foreword gives a delightful and edifying description of how he and his students put The Complete Enochian Dictionary to the test with astonishing results. This book is a must-have for any serious magician’s library.

Angelically Speaking
These elves have always been fascinated by Enochian and the question of whether Edward Kelley actually channeled this “language”, or made it up to con Dr. Dee falls in the same category as the question about Carlos Castaneda’s validity. In our minds, it doesn’t really matter. The magic is real regardless.This particular volume is doubly valuable. First, it is a comprehensive dictionary for Enochian and thus a valuable reference work for our library, although Enochian still strikes us as a very limited language form. And second, the foreward by Lon Milo Duquette, the prefaces by Stephen Skinner, and the introduction by Donald C. Laycock are well worth reading in their own right. In fact, Lon Milo tells us of some of his own experiences in using Enochian and we must say his true tales of magical experience are what we love best about his works. If you also love Enochian, this will be a good addition to your magical library.The Silver Elves authors of Arvyndase (Silverspeech): A Short Course in the Magical Language of the Silver Elves

Very Helpful
If you are interested in the Enochian language, and in understanding some of the finer points in the language, this book is for you. No, it doesn’t have an in-depth grammar or even an easy way to conjugate verbs and nouns. But, it does have definitions of a lot of words; and, it has a lot of variations and variant spellings of words. I have found it immensely useful in creating Enochian rituals and prayers.This book is for those who are interested in exploring the language deeper than just stumbling through the calls. The foreword and preface are also helpful — but the real strength is in the lists of words. You won’t be sorry you bought this one.

Not your average page turner lol
Like any Dictionary, not something you are going to pick up, grab a bottle of wine, settle down in a comfy arm chair and stoke the fire as you are captivated page after page – but for great reference material to read on specific topic of interest as needed for different perspectives or additional detailed information, its as good as any Dictionary. 😀 If this is what you are looking for, its a must have for any set of reference materials.

Dictionary plus.
This is more than just a dictionary. The beginning of the book explains in very good detail the how and why of this language. Some extra pages and/or generous spacing in the English to Enochian section for the reader to customize and expand upon would have been nice for keeping it all in one spot. But this is a Weiser publication which is dependably cheaply made, barely having margins, much less extra space for the reader. I am very happy with the content of this book. Even though you can find various so called Enochian dictionaries on line they cannot take the place of this very good reference.

Learning a new language that can change your life
This book is very detailed and is layed out in a way that you can master the information quickly enough for it to be immediately useful. Not to be taken lightly, since as with any foreign language there are nuances that must be understood so as not to convey the wrong message to the entity or misinterprete what has been recieved in kind….

Un classique pour qui veut s’initier à l’énochien, avec une introduction judicieuse. Cependant le sujet est ardu et il donnera du fil à retordre pour en tirer la substantifique moelle. Il faut aussi l’aborder après avoir effectuer une étude préliminaire sur la magie énochienne, sans cela on part dans les décors…

El libro llegó en buenas condiciones y a tiempo. Una guía y referencia para el estudio sobre traducción al inglés del Enochiano del trabajo del Dr. Dee y S. E. Kelly. Recomendado como complemento para quien ya tiene experiencia en el tema.Lo único que falta al libro es mejorar la calidad de impresión.

This book was everything I expected and has helped me out in my research no end. There is a lot of information contained in here which will take me some time to get through it, but it’s worth it.
