Even in the Dee diaries themselves, the functions of Enochian magic are only described in general terms. If any of these people do not come out with a precise list of which angel does what, it is because no such list exists (although some have attempted to map Dee's general instructions to specific areas of the Enochian watchtowers, e.g.: http://www.angelfire.com/ab6/imuhtuk/gdmans/rith.htm ). The challenge in Enochian magic is to explore for oneself what it does and what it is capable of. > They leave most of the work collecting dust.

It is no more lame than the Pentagram Ritual of the Golden Dawn, which culminates in the magician contemplating the four archangels. > The Holy Table, Sigils, etc., are just > cast off to the side with their 'techniques'. Not entirely true. Crowley does mention both the Holy Table and the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, albeit in a cursory manner. Whilst there is no mention of them in the Golden Dawn before its break-up in 1903, Mathers did deal with them in the AO - see "Golden Dawn Enochian Magic" by Pat Zalewski. As for what Shueler does with them I can't say. > Tyson is off the mark > too mainly because he is trying to turn it into apocalyptic mumbo > jumbo, and makes it seem more Lovecraftian than Enochian. > Benjamin Rowe seems to unravel alot of the info, however. > What I am searching for is the system the angels/angles would have > wanted.
