Hello,

I'm what I would consider a Christian Mystic, I suppose. I'm one of those take-the-bible-at-it's-word people that you probably laugh about or secretly hate, in that regard. I'm also interested in the more hidden secrets contained therein.

I don't neccessarily limit myself to the Bible, however, unlike most of my comrades. I'll generally consider for truth any Book that Jew's have taken as such from an early time.

For instance, I accept the Book of Enoch (at least book 1, I've not made my mind up about book 2), as it's referenced in the Bible, and was accepted as fact around the time it was written.

In the Book of Enoch, where it talks about Azrael (I believe) teaching Man what I can only term "Christian Magic," and that validates my previous belief that there was likely a Christian magic, hidden in Heaven, though it may be.

I believe that Enochian Magic, as given to Dee was probably the closest we're going to get to the actual word-for-word knowledge of this hidden Christian Magic.

Where can I learn more about Enochian? I've read a bit, and it's awfully technical. I'd like an in-depth overview minus the technical stuff. I guess what I'm looking for is an explanation of the different parts of it, and why some things are thought to work, who the entities are believed to be, what the tables mean, etc Scrying the Aethyrs is an interesting topic I'd like to hear more about, as well.

If anyone could give me such an oveview, or direct me to one, I"d be most appreciative.

Tyson is alright for beginning background, although I would be leary of his apocalypse theory. No one believes that but him.

If you want to jump right in and start to make sense of the material the best two texts I can recommend are:
Book H
and
Liber Chanokh

Book H gives a good beak down of each tablet and where all the angel names come from and how to find them.
Liber Chanokh shows a break down of each tablet and the Golden Dawn/Crowley methods of working with them. Not having a ritual magick background it might be a little over your head but should give you at least a place to start.

The enochian calls were changed slightly by Crowley. To compare them to the ones the Golden Dawn used you can cross reference them here: Enochian Calls

Finally once you begin to see how the tablets are put together check out the Concourse of the Forces gives more in depth explanation of each square from a golden dawn understanding.
