uestions, and the responses transmitted through kelley, in a set of diaries. a large portion of this transcript has survived. much of the most important material was reprinted in meric casaubon's a true and faithful relation, published in london in 1659. the primary reference to coronzon (so the name is spelled in casaubon's book) occurs on page 92 of a true and faithful relation. it is spoken to john dee by the archangel gabriel, or at least by an enochian spirit that identifies itself as the archangel gabriel. since this passage is essential to any understanding of the nature of coronzon, i will quote it: man in his creation, being made an innocent, was also authorised and made partaker of the power and spirit of god: whereby he not onely did know all things under his creation and spoke

new world views, the new attitudes, the new motives which were to lead to the emergence of modern science made their appearance. the procedures with which the magus attempted to operate have nothing to do with genuine science. the question is, did they stimulate the will towards genuine science and its operations? in an earlier chapter in this book i suggested that they did, giving as an example john dee, who on one level of his mind is a genuine mathematician, in the line leading to the scientific advances, and on another level is attempting to summon angels with practical cabala. much more detailed "ferreting out" of the motives behind the work of renaissance scientists is needed before more positive statements can be made as to the influence upon them of the dominant hermetic-cabalist

sation of the cthulhu 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

the keys next appeared in 1969 ce, when anton lavey took the cabalistic version from crowley's equinox, replaced references to the judaic/christian god with references to satan, and included the result in his satanic bible.6 the general sensation caused by this book, together with a considerable amount of indignation on the part of old-line cabalists, eventually inspired a revival of interest in john dee and his magical diaries.7 in 1974 ce stephen skinner brought out a second (facsimile) edition of a true and faithful relation, a copy of which i acquired in march of the following year. upon comparing the facsimile casaubon to the golden dawn, crowley, and lavey keys, i realized the extent of the distortion that had taken place. being familiar with language and cipher construction, i set

ver the north solstice x working which resulted in the book of coming forth by night was begun with this new first part of the word of set rather than with the first enochian key. such would seem to be the basis for the book of coming forth by night's reference to the "breaking" of the old keys. six years later the working of the word of set was finally completed- on april 13, xvi (anniversary of john dee's initial working. in the satanic bible the enochian keys, even in their altered form, are still garbled and unintelligible. hence anton felt the need to venture an interpretation of each one preceding its text. these interpretations have no basis in previous documents, and indeed previous commentators- including dee himself- had been unable to integrate the keys into a coherent translati

nt hebrew divination by urim and thummim; and for assuming the god-form of the warrior christ of revelation to command the enochian and banner angels. the complex structure of tetragrammaton and its various permutations is expressed by two very important symbolic forms: the throne of god, described by st. john in revelation 4; and the cosmic clock, which appears throughout the enochian diaries of john dee, but particularly in the third and fourteenth enochian keys. as i will demonstrate in this work, it is possible to prove that the throne and the cosmic clock are at root the same syrnbol, both designed to express the structure and parts of ihvh. the throne of god and the cosmic clock illustrate the strong link that exists between the vision of st. john, dee's hieroglyphic monad, and the e

in the course of generating the banner sigils. since i had not developed the sigils when i wrote the new magus, i was unable to take advantage of this new information, which is completely set forth in chapter v. this book offers the most complete treatment of the name, both in theory and practice, that has ever been presented. the sections on the sigils of the tetragram, the hieroglyphic monad of john dee, the angels known as the wings of the winds, the banner rings, the divination by urim and thummim, the twelve stones of the tribes of israel, the breastplate of aaron, the ring of solomon, and the enochian watchtowers and keys, all represent groundbreaking work in magic. it is my sincere hope that some of the innovations presented here will find their place in the day-to-day practices of

irst time because of its practical utility in ritual magic, the overt banner of scorpio, hhiv, would be vibrated "he-hay-yod-vav" whereas the occult banner of scorpio, hhiv, would be vibrated "hay-he-yod-vav" this vocalization of a name letter by letter is not as unusual as might first appear. the language called enochian, which was received psychically from spirits by the elizabethan philosopher john dee and his seer, the alchemist edward kelley, is almost unpronounceable unless it is voiced letter by letter. when enochian was adopted into the golden dawn as a magical alphabet and language suitable for vibrating words of power, this letter by letter method of speaking it was adopted and was carried on by the great beast, aleister crowley, in his own system of magic. the golden dawn also v

e, even with the most skillful and dedicated healers. medical science may be limited, but within its limits it is effective and should be turned to first, not last, for the treatment of sickness. only after you have consulted a doctor should you consult a magical healer or attempt to use magical healing techniques on yourself. viii i n 1564, the great english philosopher, astrologer, and magician john dee wrote a short latin tract in the form of twenty-four theorems titled the monas hieroglyphics (the hieroglyphic monad. it was begun on january 13th and finished on the 25th of the same month while dee was visiting the city of antwerp. the work was printed at antwerp by william silvius in march of 1564. in structure, it follows the pattern of classical texts on geometry-dee was famed for hi

in the prayer book of yehi kavod (bahir, p. 197. in the text of the bahir, this mystical verse is called the explicit name (shem ha-mephoresh "for which permission was given that it be permuted and spoken" clearly there is more than a passing connection between revelation 4:8 and the kabbalah. the method for extracting the names of the angels described here would have been completely familiar to john dee, who had read agrippa and reuchlin. it is the same technique that is used to extract the seventytwo names of the shem ha-mephoresh from exodus 14:19-21 (see christian ginsburg, the kabbalah [london: routledge and kegan paul, 19551, pp. 132-6. in order to distinguish these two sets of angelic names, i have added the divine suffix al to the merciful angels and the suffix ih to the angels of

ued that when dee wrote his hieroglyphic monad he had not yet established communication with the enochian angels. this overlooks the magical phenomenon of synchronicity, the fact that magic is not dependent upon causal or temporal relationships. besides, whatever their source of inspiration, both the monad and the system of enochian magic were refined and expressed by a single human brain-that of john dee. hen the israelites crossed over the river jordan, their leader joshua ordered a man from each of the twelve tribes to take up a large stone from the riverbed and carry it with him on his shoulder onto the opposite bank. he then had twelve other stones mortared together to form an altar in the middle of the riverbed at the fording place opposite jericho. these things were done at the comm

mars. the sun represents solomon as an enlightened and benevolent ruler; aries and mars reinforce his aspect as a powerful warrior king. many occult texts claim to possess the true description of the ring, but since each differs from all the others, it is difficult to know how much faith to place in their assertions. for example, the enochian angels conveyed the supposed true image of the ring to john dee through the seer edward kelley, who observed the ring issue from a flame that sprang out of enochian ring of solomon the sword of the angel michael (see geoffrey james, the enochian magick of dr. john dee, pp. 26-7. dee drew the ring according to kelley's direction, and the result is pictured above. it is highly significant that the bezel of dee's ring is square, since any true ring of so

he sun and the sect of the moon. it is the crucible of solar and lunar forces, where these powers mingle and amalgamate with each other. as such, it represents heavenly adam incarnated upon the earth (the messiah, or christ) and the middle pillar of mildness on the tree of the sephiroth. this is an occult correspondence that is seldom found in the texts of the kabbalah, but was well understood by john dee (see the hieroglyphic monad, theorem xiii, and 100 tetragrammaton also familiar to the medieval alchemists, who represented mercury in this moderating and reconciling aspect in their symbolic illustrations. this is why dee made the astrological glyph of mercury the dominant component of his monad. mercury contains the sun and moon within itself, just as christ is both heaven and earth min

ciations. in subsequent ritual assumptions of the christ-form, the pre-tied white and black headbands can be used. however, they should be untied and washed before they become soiled. xvi 'o examination of the magical symbolism of btragrammaton could be complete without a look at the use of the ineffable name in the system of enochian magic derived from the diaries of the elizabethan magician dr. john dee and his seer edward kelley. the two men first met in 1582 at dee's house in mortlake, just southwest of london. kelley, who was often involved in alchemical affairs of questionable legality, was using the false name edward talbot. the entry in dee's diary for saturday, march 10, begins: one mr. edward talbot cam to my howse, and he being willing and desirous to see or shew some thing in s

eturn to his service. the most important enochian material was received in 1584, and includes the great table of the four watchtowers and the enochian keys, or calls. this crucial year is recorded in meric. casaubon's published edition of dee's magical diaries covering the period from may 28, 1583, to may 23, 1587, which is titled a bue& faithful relation of what passed for many yeers between di: john dee .and some spirits (london, 1659. the first of the keys was delivered on april 13 and 14 at cracow, poland, by the spirit nalvage ca due& faithful relation, p. 82. the great table of the four watchtowers, along with the system for deriving the names of angels from its lettered squares, was given by the spirit ave during a session that began at seven o'clock on the morning of monday, june 2

age 15 of the actio tertia section at the back of his book. this differs significantly from the original placement of the watchtowers. only the watchtower on the upper left quarter of the great table (in the golden dawn, the watchtower of air) remains in its original quarter in the revised table. both original and revised versions of the table are given by geoffrey james in his enochian magick of john dee (llewellyn, 1994, pp. 117 and 118. the watchtowers and the keys 167 the reformed great table of raphael note: letters with asterisks are inverted u n n c x dee himself expressed considerable uncertainty over which watchtower should go in which quarter of the great table. in an explanatory note about the version of raphael, he writes: when e.k. had shewed me this note, i by and by brought

ours. the east is red because this is the color of the rosy dawn. the south is white because this is the brightness of midday. the north is black because the sun is in this quarter at night. only green in the west breaks this pattern. green like "the skins of many dragons" may refer to water. green and red are alchemical opposites, as are black and white. it is not made clear in casaubon just how john dee chose to assign the elements to the directions. the connection of the watchtowers to the elements seems to have been secondary to their placement in space. however, from the colors associated with the four directions in kelley's vision, given below, it may be speculated that fire (red) was placed in the east, air (white) in the south, water (green) in the west, and earth (black) in the no

seems very puzzling, but james points out that it results from the various corrected versions of the great table found in dee's diaries (no less than five variations. the golden dawn simply collected all the different letters for each square of the table and wrote them into that square. this is a very poor solution to the problem, because many of these alternate letters were later crossed out by john dee. it seems only common sense to use the lettering of the corrected table supplied by the angel raphael, making what changes are necessary to harmonize the revised lettering with the names of the spirits. but can we trust raphael, or believe that the revised table is any more accurate than the original table? this is a problem that has no easy solution and must be wrestled with by each seri

f god correspond to the twelve banners of ihvh. for example, the names on the banners of the watchtower of the east are oro, ibah, and aozpi. the overt and occult forms of the banners are indicated by the reference to the creatures of the earth "visible and invisible" rules for extracting the rest of the names are found in the golden dawn and may also be deduced from james' enochian magick of dr. john dee. they are too complex to detail here, since they do not directly bear upon tetragrammaton. the enochian keys are evocations of the spirits of the four watchtowers delivered by the spirit nalvage to kelley via the showstone in the form of hauntingly poetic verses in the enochian language. they are termed "keys" because they unlock the gates of the watchtowers. they may be properly called e

north fifteenth: east sixteenth: south seventeenth: west eighteenth:north nineteenth to forty-eighth: thirty spheres, or degrees the symbolism of the keys contains strong echoes of the gnostic gospels, particularly the key of the thirty aethers, which might almost have been dictated by yaldabaoth himself geoffrey james considers these gnostic connections at some length (the enochian magick of dr. john dee, pp. xix-xxi) and speculates that kelley may have plagiarized portions of a secret gnostic text in his possession unknown to dee. i should state here explicitly that i do not believe kelley concocted the keys, or the majority of his communications with spirits recorded in dee's diaries. his other writings cannot even approach the complex and beautiful symbolism of the enochian communicati

re of a great clock. the vital significance of this image of the throne as a cosmic clock cannot be overemphasized. the original versions of the english translations below were composed by me after an exhaustive comparative analysis of versions given in casaubon's due& faithful relation, regardie's golden dawn, donald laycock's complete enochian dictionary, geoffrey james's enochian magick of dr. john dee, and denning and phillips's mysteria magica. the last two works proved the most useful because they provide an accurate transcription of the english translation of the keys recorded by dee in his manuscript record. i have modernized the spelling but have not changed the actual wording of the keys, preferring to retain such archaic forms as "saith" and "liveth" apart from the tendency to m

ns revolve around the heavens once with each cycle of the sun, the houses remain fixed relative to the earth. there is a strong association between the signs and their corresponding houses. in ancient astrology, which was the astrology practiced during the renaissance and elizabethan times, signs and houses are often spoken of as one and the same. if we take our cue from the hieroglyphic monad of john dee, where the zodiac is divided between aries and taurus, the line between the upper and lower crescents of aries and taurus forms a perfect cross of right angles with the line between the left and right crescents of cancer and leo. this cross on the zodiac may have been dee's hidden message, concealed in the structure of the monad symbol. it is the structure of the heavenly throne and the c

diac signs of that element and space them at intervals of 120 degrees around the zodiac. this is the system i have adopted in appendix e. on the other hand, if we associate the banners and enochian names of god with the directions, we must group all three banners and names of a watchtower on the three congruent signs of the zodiac in that quarter of space. this appears to be the system adopted by john dee (see james, the enochian magick of dr. john dee, p. 119. these two approaches result in hndamentally different magical structures and cannot easily be reconciled. if we take as an example the watchtower of the south, which in my opinion is the watchtower in the lower left quadrant on the reformed great table of raphael, and associate the direction south with elemental fire (the usual asso

y linking the watchtower primarily with the element of fire, the three names of god on the watchtower (mor, dial, hctga) may be related to the three banners of fire (ihvh, ihw, ivhh) and the three fire signs of the zodiac (aries, sagittarius, leo. see the table of the banners in appendix e. alternatively, if we associate the watchtower of the south primarily with the southern quarter of space, as john dee seems to have done, the three names of god on the watchtower of the south will fall on the directions south-southeast, south, and south-southwest (based on a division of the compass into twelve directions, or points. the fixed zodiac sign leo (commonly linked with the south in modern magic) will fall on the south point, with cancer and virgo on either side. all three points of the compass
