Enochian Vision Magick: An
Introduction and Practical Guide to
the Magick of Dr. John Dee and
Edward Kelley by Lon Milo DuQuette
Simple, Direct, And Effective!
Dr. John Dee (1527-1608) was one of the greatest minds of the
Elizabethan Age, and his system of angelic communication was the result
of the most dramatic magical operation ever recorded. It has survived to
become the cornerstone of the modern ceremonial magician’s practice. In
1582 Dee and his clairvoyant partner Edward Kelley made magical contact
with a number of spiritual entities who identified themselves as angels —
the same that communicated with Adam, Enoch, and the patriarchs of the
Old Testament. Over the next three years they revealed to Dee and Kelley
three distinct magical systems of vision magick. The third and last of these
incorporated a series of calls to be recited in an angelic language in order
to raise the consciousness of the magician to a level where angelic contact
is possible. Best-selling author and magician, Lon Milo DuQuette, who
has practiced Dee’s system for over twenty-five years, has seized upon
elements of the original Dee material overlooked by adepts of the Golden
Dawn, Aleister Crowley, and other modern magicians, and brought them to
light in Enochian Vision Magick. DuQuette offers the expert and novice
alike the practical means by which they can become attuned in the same
simple step-by-step manner that first prepared Dee and Kelley. There has
never been a book on Enochian magick like this one.
Personal Review: Enochian Vision Magick: An Introduction and
Practical Guide to the Magick of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley
by Lon Milo DuQuette
There sure have been a lot of books published on the topic of Enochiana--
understood generally as the system of angelic magic derived from the work
of the Elizabethans John Dee and Edward Kelly. I count over twenty in my
personal library alone. Many of these are historical, focusing on the
primary materials from Dee and Kelly; while others are practical, offering
instructions to contemporary aspirants and practitioners. Never before has
there been a book that combines the two in such an accessible and
sensible manner.
Lon Milo DuQuette is a storyteller, and his understanding of magick
demands, and thus offers, the narrative framework so often missing from
not only the modern practitioner approach, but also that of the source text
analyst. His tale synthesizes the confusingly atomized objects and texts of
angelic magic, placing them in a developmental sequence, and assessing
their importance in the origins and fulfillment of Enochian praxis. His story
does not end in the 17th century: the book is full of anecdotes about his
own work and that of other living magicians, characterized by the humor
and humility that are DuQuette's trademark as an authority on esoteric
subjects.
These stories are complemented by the necessary technical detail for
anyone who wishes to use this book as a practical reference in actual
work. And for those whose bent is toward research, the overview indicates
all of the principal texts and topics of the angelic corpus, as the heads of
so many fascinating trails. In my view, this book makes obsolete every
previous "beginner" book on the topic, and is itself likely to hold a focal
place in the bibliography for years to come. And along with its success as
a primer, Enochian Vision Magick includes original reflection and inventive
technique, so that veterans of the tablets and aires are sure to find food for
thought among its pages.
