I believe that the Enochian magick of John Dee laid the foundations of the realization of a whole new state of mind that would flower three hundred years later as the advent of Thelema. Crowley had been trained and initiated in an order which incorporated Enochian magick in a crucial way. He was ready to receive the developed impulse of the new aeon whose seed was planeted centuries earlier in his home country. Of course, many cultural factors in Europe fed into the slow evolution of the potential that came into actualization as the new aeon of Horus in the 20th century but it was Dee and Kelley's work that gave this a potent focus.

I've always been struck by the passage in chapter one of "The Book of the Law" that discusses the four gates to one palace. I think much of the mystery of this verse can be explained by referring to a dream Edward Kelley had while working in Dee's employ. This is outlined in Geoffrey James' book "The Enochian Magick of Dr. John Dee." Kelley saw a castle with a central tower surrounded by four gates. Four parades of angels marched out of the tower toward the gates in hierarchies which came to be incorporated into the elemental Watchtower tablets which the Golden Dawn later used in its initiations.

I really think there is a connection and that much of Dee's magical system is ideally designed for Thelemic use. It's no accident that his 30 aethyr system brought Crowley beyond the maximum level of initiation thought possible by his teachers, when he achieved Master of the Temple. A new state of being was forged and a new and greater Path was blazed for other Thelemites to follow. What do other people think?
