uction the ethiopic book of enochoxford university pressi first heard about the book of enoch a few years ago, while i was researching into end of days prophesies. when i finally managed to get hold of a copy, i discovered that it was a very strange and unusual book. the first time i read it i was skeptical and somewhat puzzled; i wondered who would have written an odd book like this. i knew that enoch (hanokh in hebrew, was very favourably mentioned in genesis, and i discovered that enoch s book describes the exodus and moses very favourably (although not by name. so my first theory was that it might have been written around the same time as the torah, perhaps around 1400 bc. however, after several readings i could find no plausible theories. the prophecy of the animals is extremely preci

tion i have used to produce this book, studied all available manuscripts and sources, and it is clear that this book was well known and studied in many countries well before the time of jesus. the earliest known surviving fragments and quotations in various languages show that this is the same book, and that the ethiopians have preserved it well. in the end i was convinced that the book is really enoch s true account of otherwise forgotten events that occurred in early times; events that we have no other surviving records of. enoch left us a book that describes people of an advanced culture; blond-haired people that enoch s people considered to be angels of god, and it was written on the angels instruction. the standard academic view seems to be that some slightly demented religious fanati

om heaven in order to be promiscuous with women. i don t believe this is the sort of world view that would have been well received or widely accepted anywhere in 200 bc. this plus the all too accurate prophecies are probably the reasons why it was lost by the religions that used to regard it as holy. i concluded that the book is probably what it appears to be; well preserved, ancient and genuine. enoch was the great-grandfather of noah, and father of methuselah, and his book gives a unique view of the world before the flood; which recent research suggests may have occurred as long ago as 17,000 bc. the history of the book of enoch the book was thought to have been lost, for over 2,000 years, with many ancient sources referring to it, and even quoting parts, but no complete copies were know

re the flood; which recent research suggests may have occurred as long ago as 17,000 bc. the history of the book of enoch the book was thought to have been lost, for over 2,000 years, with many ancient sources referring to it, and even quoting parts, but no complete copies were known. then in 1773, james bruce brought three copies back from ethiopia, having spent some years exploring the country. enoch had two main reasons for writing his book. the first was because the watchers instructed him to do it (see section 15 at 81.5 and 81.6. the second reason; was to save his family from the flood. enoch wrote his book, after his grandson lamech was born, but before noah was born. noah is only named in the section that methuselah wrote (see section 10 at 107.3, and of course in his own section (

section 15 at 81.5 and 81.6. the second reason; was to save his family from the flood. enoch wrote his book, after his grandson lamech was born, but before noah was born. noah is only named in the section that methuselah wrote (see section 10 at 107.3, and of course in his own section (section 11, the book of noah. so, there may still have been 40- 80 years left before the flood, at the time when enoch wrote his book. there is a long gap between the time of the flood and the time when moses gave praise to enoch in genesis. genesis dates from around 1400 bc, and forms part of the torah (the first five books of the bible. in genesis, there is enoch's family; as named by him in this book, and a quick recap of some of enoch's story. it seems likely therefore, that copies of the book of enoch s

irst five books of the bible. in genesis, there is enoch's family; as named by him in this book, and a quick recap of some of enoch's story. it seems likely therefore, that copies of the book of enoch survived into egyptian times, 3500 bc, and was known to moses around 2,000 years later. moses presumably took a copy of the book with him when they all left egypt, and he was no doubt pleased to see enoch's prophecy fulfilled. the book probably existed mainly in hebrew during the thousand years after the exodus. no hebrew copies exist today, however, although there are some hebrew passages quoted in some of the aramaic fragments that survive from a few centuries bc. the appearance of the book in ethiopia, is probably due to events in jerusalem during the reign of king manasseh of judah (695

le translations were done soon after this and the book was received with an embarrassed silence, for the most part, and not widely read. this book is based on a new translation published in 1978, which was produced as a result of research into a large number of the ethiopian manuscripts and a review of all other surviving fragments. my hope is that this present edition will be the best version of enoch's book available in english. i think this is an important book, and i have done my best to present it as clearly as possible, and in a way that i hope hanokh would have approved of. condition of the text i believe the text to be in good condition generally. it seems to be almost complete, with a beginning and an end, and it is self-consistent. even more significant is the way that enoch's ch

part of the prophecy of the ten weeks was in the wrong order. i have kept the ethiopian chapter and verse numbers, in all cases, so that my changes to the order of presentation can easily be seen. i have split the book into sections- where there seems to be a natural break, and given each one a title. i inserted noah and methuselah s works into the middle- where there seems to be a major break in enoch s book. the first section of enoch is mainly the story of what occurred whereas the second part is mainly written from the notes that enoch took while he was with the watchers. additionally, the end of noah s short book conveniently serves as an introduction to enoch s book of parables. andy mccracken (august 2002) the book of enoch 1) the blessing of enoch book from the ashes of angelsthe m

prince ofdarkness and the king of evil. he is said to be terrifying in his appearance- like aserpent with a visage like a viper. one of the main angelic groups in hebrew lore is theseraphim or fiery serpents and the watchers are very much connected to thedescription of serpents. in the persian teachings they also talk of a being they describeas the old serpent having two feet, just as the book of enoch features walkingserpents. when you consider that the draco royal leadership is said to be up to 12 feettall and white skinned, indeed albino white, whiter than snow, it again relates to the45very white skin of the giant watcher-human hybrid babies described in the book ofenoch and elsewhere. and, i should emphasise, the birth of the human-watcher child inthe book of enoch is that of noah. if

scrolls, noah is described aslooking like the children of the (fallen) angels of heaven whose conception was (due)to the watchers. and to the nefilim. in jewish lore, eve is seen as the ancestral motherof the nefilim and associated with the hebrew words meaning life and snake. eve was,of course, tempted by the serpent according to old testament myth and other sources. inchapter 69 of the book of enoch we find that among the watchers who revealed thesecrets to humans was gadreel, the fallen angel who has been identified with temptingeve. the book of enoch was banned by the roman church which sought to deny theearlier christian belief in the existence of flesh and blood angels and fallen angelsoccupying physical bodies and interbreeding with humans. this was to stop the massesunderstanding

DEMONIC BIBLE

but it lent itself well to magical application. words held the power to change reality and names compelled obedience from elemental beings. grimoires, or books of ceremonial magic based on cabalistic belief, cataloged the names and sigils of countless demons over which it was said the magician could exercise power. many of these books were attributed to biblical figures such as solomon, moses, or enoch. the enochian system of magic adopted by the golden dawn was based on the enochian evocation of dr. john dee. dee, an elizabethan astrologer and magician, working with another man, edward kelly, produced a series of 18 keys in what they claimed was the original angelic language and apparently revealed to enoch, the first man after the fall to walk with god. the english translation of the key

onomicon are among the many books transcribed from the dread pages of the demonic bible. the demonic bible was shown to the magician john dee. dee translated eighteen of the "demonic" keys from the strange demonic language in which the demonic bible is written. when dee translated his keys from the demonic bible he named them the enochian keys. they are not, as is commonly believed, named for the enoch who "walked with god" but rather for enoch, the son of cain. cain was the first man to perform the rituals of the demonic bible and he murdered his brother as a sacrifice to the ancient ones. his son, enoch, was given to the serpent from birth. this demonic language revealed to dee during his scrying experiments is written in an ancient script which has been passed down for centuries by prac

DONALDTYSON CORONZON

bout coronzon (aleister crowley's drawing of coronzon at lunch) coronzon (more commonly, but perhaps less correctly, spelled choronzon) is an angelic being first named in the transcripts of the conversations that took place between the elizabethan mathematician and magician dr. john dee and the hierarchy of spiritual beings who identified themselves as the angels that had instructed the patriarch enoch in the holy magic of god. these angelic conversations occurred between the years 1582 and 1587, through the mediumship of dee's hired crystal scryer, the alchemist edward kelley. one or more times a week kelley, under dee's guidance, established communication with the enochian angels in a ritual setting, using a globe of natural rock crystal as his instrument. he described to dee what he saw

reckless, and he fell prey to his lower emotions and impulses. the "four winds" mentioned by gabriel that surround wisdom are the four archangels of the elements, michael (fire, gabriel (water, raphael (air) and uriel (earth. they are winds because the speak with the angelic language, and its power and authority, and of course because they are winged. they are mentioned as a group in the book of enoch in connection with the fallen watchers who sin with the daughters of man, where these four archangels are primary servants and agents of god's judgement. it is clear from the words of gabriel to john dee that coronzon is to be regarded as synonymous with the serpent described in genesis. this serpent is almost always treated as the same as fallen lucifer, later to be known as satan, the arch

dragons were sometimes called "worms" in ancient anglo-saxon literature. another important point to gather from the quote above is that the old serpent is identified with the leader of the angelic rebellion, lucifer, the light-bearer, second only to god in his glory. the bible has little to report about the fall of the angels. fortunately, the matter is treated in detail in the apocryphal book of enoch. in this work the leader of the rebellious angels is named semjaza, or elsewhere, azazel. the second name is more usually accepted as the leader of the rebellious watchers, but the first may be older. the number of rebellious angels is given as 200, but the list of the leaders numbers 21. since each leader presides over ten lesser lieutenants (20 x 10= 200, one angel must be regarded as the

s these to moses, and more particularly to solomon, and one of the most characteristic text-books of this type of magic was the work known as the clavis salomonis1 which was widely circulated surreptitiously in variant forms. it is probably of this type of work that pico is thinking when he says that his practical cabala has nothing to do with wicked magics going under the name of solomon, moses, enoch, or adam, by which demons were conjured by bad magicians.2 when seen in the context of the lofty philosophical mysticism of cabala and from the stand-point of some real knowledge of hebrew and the mystique of the hebrew alphabet, those old magics were seen to be not only wicked, but also ignorant and barbarous. they are replaced by practical cabala, the learned hebrew magic which takes its p

hu mythos, lovecraft also drew upon a wide range of sources from the historical occult tradition, and from the literary material pertaining to it. in his essay, supernatural horror in literature, he mentions academic works such as frazer s the golden bough, and margaret murray s the witch cult in western europe, as well as authentic grimoires such as the keys of solomon and dr. john dee s book of enoch, or liber logaeth. he had also read waite s collection of medieval texts, the book of black magic and pacts, macgregor mathers translation of the sacred magic of abra-melin the sage, and cotton mathers, wonders of the invisible world, which documents the witchcraft phenomena centred around salem in 1692. the titles of these volumes are echoed in those which were created by lovecraft and his

ade contact with certain spirits, who communicated through him a series of magical calls, or keys, in a language called enochian. this language has since been studied and analysed by many historians, who confirm that it is indeed an authentic and consistent idiom, without resemblance to any other still in existence. it is even more remarkable that, in recently deciphered passages from the book of enoch, words approximating to the names of the great old ones, as they appear in the cthulhu mythos have been discovered. from around 1930, lovecraft periodically assured his correspondents that he was about to give up writing, but forced himself to continue to make the effort to produce new fiction. in 1935, a year after the completion of his final story, the shadow out of time, he developed an i

spiritual as well as psychological changes. man could not just develop the right to be deified, the divine will had to reach into the lower worlds and change the nature of the mystical path. through the work of jesus and mary magdalene, a religious transformation occurred and mankind was given the right to enter the kingdom of light. in the past some individuals had been able to achieve theosis (enoch walked with god and was not, but these were unique cases and were above and beyond the norm. in preparation for the work of jesus and james, the qumran community (the essenes) had been formed, the teacher of righteousness began to outline the requirements for individual theosis and this became the mystery teachings of the essenes. other mystery cults undertook similar preparation. the gnosti

sacred mysteries would be lost at the time of the deluge, erected the two columns mentioned in the quotation. upon the metal column in appropriate allegorical symbols he engraved the secret reaching and upon the marble column placed an inscription stating that a short distance away a priceless treasure would be discovered in a subterranean vault. after having thus faithfully completed his labors, enoch was translated from the brow of mount moriah. in time the location of the secret vaults was lost, but after the lapse of ages there came another builder--an initiate after the order of enoch--and he, while laying the foundations for another temple to the great architect of the universe, discovered the long-lost vaults and the secrets contained within. john leylande was appointed by king henr

dent kabalah, and it is time that we should have recourse to this vast and hidden source of universal philosophy. the bible, with all its allegories, gives expression to the religious knowledge of the hebrews only in an incomplete and veiled manner. the book which we have mentioned, the hieratic characters of which we shall explain subsequently, that book which william postel names the genesis of enoch, existed certainly before moses and the prophets, whose doctrine, fundamentally identical with that of the ancient egyptians, had also its exotericism and its veils. when moses spoke to the people, says the sacred book allegorically, he placed a veil over his face, and he removed it when communing with god: this accounts for the alleged biblical absurdities which so exercised the satirical p

such catastrophic condition as to be incurable by any of man's efforts. the name "apocalyptist" means "revealer, and this sect maintained that human progress was rigidly mapped by god and was not subject to human will at all. in this the apocalyptists differed from the other major hebraic branch, pharisaism. the apocalyptic literature is generally fixed to the period 200-150 bce, and the book of enoch is generally regarded as the oldest such work. it seems to have been written by a number of authors, the earliest being a hebrew from the land of dan in northern palestine. the original text was probably written in hebrew or aramaic, later translated into greek and latin. these translations did not directly survive the decline of the holy roman empire. the greek version had been translated i

ht. bibliomancy is a form of divination through which a pin is stuck at random into a page of the bible, and the result interpreted as the answer to whatever question is being asked. an alternative is to tie the bible up in a garter, which is held at the top by the ring. this is then used like a pendulum, with answers being interpreted from the direction that the bible begins to turn. the book of enoch the greatest single source of angelology as recognised in orthodox christianity and the tradition of goetic magick are the three chronicles of enoch. although declared apocryphal and thus destroyed by the church these were most influential from around the 13th century onwards. a full version only appeared around the 18th century when an original copy was discovered which had been preserved b

as recognised in orthodox christianity and the tradition of goetic magick are the three chronicles of enoch. although declared apocryphal and thus destroyed by the church these were most influential from around the 13th century onwards. a full version only appeared around the 18th century when an original copy was discovered which had been preserved by the ethiopic-church. according to this text enoch had been chosen by the lord as a writer of truth. in an early passage of the chronicles, he is transmuted into angelic form and allowed to visit heaven, receiving his information first hand. then the lord said to micha-el: go and strip enoch of his own clothes; anoint him with oil, and dress him like ourselves and micha-el did as he was told. he stripped me of my clothes, and rubbed me over

clothes; anoint him with oil, and dress him like ourselves and micha-el did as he was told. he stripped me of my clothes, and rubbed me over with a wonderful oil like dew; with the scent of myrrh; which shone like a sunbeam. and i looked at myself, and i was like one of the others; there was no difference and all my fear and trembling left me. dr. john dee was obsessed by the idea of the book of enoch, and yet was unable to obtain a copy. his system of enochian magick was created when he and edward kelly were attempting to divine its contents. clavicula salomonis otherwise known as the key of solomon the king. the first english translation of this theurgic text was made in 1889, although the british museum possess a greek version dated 1100-1200 e.v. it is known to have existed since the

ere are numerous signs of profound magical humour in their works, hidden in plain view. the archangels named in the bible (gabriel, michael, raphael) were mentioned in the seventh century onwards in the litany of the saints, although it was only as late as the last century that benedict xv made the feast of the last two obligatory. the names of the other angels were deemed apocryphal. the book of enoch adds uriel, raguel, saraqael and haniel to the list of archangels. in the mid-eighth century a frankish priest named adalbert was condemned for praying to uriel, raguel, tubuel, adin, tubuas, sabaok, and sariel, all of whom the roman synod had declared to be actually devils. by the 14th century enoch s relatively modest count of a few hundred angels had been expanded by the cardinal bishop o

t heaven and its border with the material dimension. they are thus the most like humans, and amongst the best known to us. as with the second triad, they are vulnerable to corruption. 7th choir: principalities originally seen as an order in charge of the nations, and later of the religions. there is some disagreement as to who is the chief amongst them. contenders include hami-el, who transported enoch to heaven and is identified with the chaldean deity ishtar, cervill the prince of strength who is said to have come to david s aid in defeating goliath. also ana-el who is named as one of the seven angels of creation and is associated with human sexuality. he is also named as governor of the second heaven, with control of the world s leaders and whose dominion encompasses the moon. the final

the direct link between humankind and god. he appears in the yakult hadash, where the two egyptian magicians jannes and jambre manage to gain unqualified admission to heaven and refuse to leave. micha-el and gabri-el are sent to expel them but are defeated. after metatron defeats the magicians he is set above micha-el and gabri-el. according to one version of his myth he was once none other than enoch himself, transformed in reward for his recording of the angelic lore for humankind into a fiery angel with six times six wings and countless eyes. in this form he is the angelic scribe who records all in the aetheric archives. in gnostic scripture, metatron is identified as the demiurge, the prince of darkness who is the creator of the material universe. thus he is identified as satan, or ha

he second war in heaven and was thus expelled like lucifer, but later forgiven and reinstated. during this time gabriel was replaced by the angel dobiel. rapha-el originally known in chaldea as labbi-el, the name rapha-el means the shining one who heals. in the zohar it is said that he is charged to heal the earth. the earth which furnishes a place for man, whom he also heals of his illnesses. in enoch i he is declared to be one of the four presences set over all the diseases and all the wounds in the children of men. he heals abraham of the pain of his (belated) circumcision, and in the prayer of joseph heals jacob of his wounded knee, sustained whilst fighting with uri-el. as with the seraphim, rapha-el is commonly associated with the serpent. he is a chief ruling over the second heaven

and attacks moses for failing to uphold tradition in the circumcision of his son. uri-el was officially de-sainted in 745 a.d. when a church council, pope zachary, condemned both uri-el and ragu-el as demons in a kind of inquisition of the celestial beings. he was later reinstated. sari-el also known as suri-el, suriy-el, zerachi-el and sarqu-el, his name translates as god s command. according to enoch, sariel is responsible for the fate of those angels who transgress the laws. with the self contradiction typical of all theologians he also lists him as one of the fallen angels, whilst in the wars of the sons of light against the sons of darkness his name appears on the shields of a unit of the forces of light. he is often identified as one of the angels of death, and as the angel who gave

e blame squarely on the women. the angels who fell from heaven saw the daughters of cain perambulating and displaying their private parts, their eyes painted with antimony in the manner of harlots, and, being seduced, took wives from amongst them. the watchers and their brood devolved through their carnal obsessions and became tainted by the powers they sought to master. as it says in the book of enoch..and they began to sin against the birds, the beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another s flesh. it seems they were unable to divest themselves of their mortal forms and instead descended further and further into carnality. naturally, god stepped in to try and sort out the mess. the watchers and their foul offspring were either thrown into the abyss, or were destroyed in the

ation of our ancestry. it is our embracing of the infernal nature that is within all humankind, and its deliberate awakening within the current of witchcraft. this myth itself is reflected in the earlier babylonian tale where humankind are created from the blood of kingu, first of her brood leader of the dragon tiamat s army of chaos. through us, they walk upon the earth. according to the book of enoch, their identities are as follows; agni-el: who taught of enchantments of roots and the secrets of conjure. anma-el: made a sexual pact with a mortal woman to reveal the secret names of god. araqui-el/saraqa-el: taught the signs and secrets of the earth (geography and/or geomancy. araziel/arazyael: god is my noon. asael: made by god. asbeel: god s deserter. it is he who sowed the first seeds

ack sun, although usually translated to mean whom god strengthens. he was supposedly the first to descend, and later becomes ibliss. according to rabbinical texts, he is also satan, who refused to bow before the son of clay. with naamah, sister of cain, he fathered azza the strong one, who later revealed the heavenly arcana to solomon. baraqijal: who taught men astrology. exael: who, according to enoch, taught men how to fabricate engines of war, works in silver and gold, the uses of gems and perfumes. ezeqeel: taught the science of meteorology. gadreel: god is my helper. identified by enoch as the one who lead eve astray, although eve protested strongly that she had..copulated with no false beguiling serpent. also taught men how to make tools and weapons. kasdaye: taught women how to abor

magical sigils are descended. small wonder enochian magic is reputed to be the most powerful (and dangerous) blanch of the occult! enochian magic originated, of course, with a series of crystalgazing experiments that dr. john dee conducted in the late sixteenth century. the foremost scholar of his era, dee turned away from mundane knowledge to seek what he called "radical truth" dee believed that enoch had received such truths from conversations with the angels. dee theorized that he could use crystal gazing to reestablish communication with enoch's angels, thus restoring the fountainhead of supernatural knowledge. whether or not dee succeeded is open to question. dee certainly believed that he had tapped into angelic power, but there is little evidence that the knowledge did him much good

something other than theory and speculation. this vast collection of material became the crown jewel of the order's work. the vast amount of material collected by dee and kelley indicates that they transcribed an entirely new language with its own grammar and syntax. occultists have called this language "enochian" because the dictating angel, ave, was said to have originally given the tablets to enoch. as we look at the golden dawn by regardie, it is evident that the enochian work is not studied until all of the preliminary outer order work has been completed. the students are exposed to the watchtower tablets in ritual, and they do commit fundamentals of the system to memory, but no actual enochian ritual is performed in the outer order. regardie himself warned against approaching the ad

ary (sloane 3188, 3189, 3191, 3677 and 3678. on perusing these manuscripts, it becomes evident that a new language, with a rudimentary grammar, developed over the years of their communicating. this language was apparently passed on by angelic entities. occultists dubbed this language enochian, because the dictating angel, ave, apparently was the same angel who gave tablets to the biblical prophet enoch. dee and kelley travelled extensively throughout europe with their wives in the 1580s. every detail of their psychic conversations with angelic beings was diligently recorded. although the visions were mainly kelley's, dee also occasionally glimpsed them in the crystal. xvi in the very beginning of the enochian contacts, ave was said to have given dee a special crystal to use in the seances

n using the system during the correct lunar phase, the results are generally far superior. i believe that the lunar cycles should be worked in with the solar ones when using the enochian system; there should be no contradiction. many people have never given the lunation cycles, in connection with the tablets, any real consideration. i think it is a worthwhile area to develop. although the book of enoch only remotely resembles the dee manuscripts (in the form of dictating angelic entities, the lunar astrology section of the original biblical book should be considered along with the latest research on it, as it may open more doors buried deep within the dee system. practical use of the crystal now that an explanation has been given of the origins and structures of the holy table and various

lang ministrantes (those who minister) sach confirmantes (those who confirm) urch confundantes (those who confound) lvas laudantes (those who praise) it is obvious from the structure of this table that we are dealing with things on a large scale and not for petty invocations. some of the angelic entities mentioned here seem to fit into rabbinical hebrew literature. for example, in odeberg's book enoch three, he cites the ministering angels as having three subdivisions, though there is no doubt that these four angelic entities are in fact analogous with the "four presences" given in the book of enoch, and are not to be confused with the "four watchers (for a golden dawn explanation of the four watchers, see manuscript "concourse of forces" and the enochian section of regardie's golden dawn
