Enochian [related: Enoch, Enochian Magick, Antediluvian, John Dee, Sir
Edward Kelly]
Developed by the Anglo-Welsh mathematician and alchemist John Dee and his
colleague Sir Edward Kelly in 16th Century England, Enochian is an occult or
angelic language used in the practice of Enochian Magic. The language was
revealed to the men by the Enochian angels, recorded in private journals and
was claimed by them to be originally used by Adam and his direct progeny to
name all material things. In this sense, Enochian can be seen as being
antediluvian
1
. Via use of the Enochian language direct
communication with angelic beings is possible - of particular value as such
entities are not subject to the standard limitations of space and time. The
term Enochian is derived from
enochian
(aka
metatron
). The practice of
light-singing
, common to Wiccan and Pagan communities, is commonly thought to be an extension of the Enochian practice.
