Begining Enochian, Where to start? Options

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.

Greetings Hamilton,

I would recommend this book before Tysons Enochian for dummies http://www.amazon.com/John-Dees-Five-Books...75212054&sr=8-5

The language of the angels is very powerful.

If you are Christian I think you should check out The Greater Key of Solomon aka Clavicula Salomonis http://www.amazon.com/Greater-Key-Solomon-...75212565&sr=1-1

I would recommend the Greater Key before trying Enochian. It has wonderful amulets / pentacles which when created and carried on ones person have miraculous effects.

Pdf of both of these books are in the forum library.

Also if you are Christian perhaps you should explore Rosicrucianism. Christian Mystics. http://www.rosicrucian.com/

No one is going to laugh at you or secretly hate you here for being Christian. There arte many paths for many different people. All Gods are one. Hate is ignorance.

The Book Of Enoch is great. He was Elijah’s brother. They are the only two men who were made Arch Angels according to tradition.

I was born into a Christian family myself so I understand your urge for knowledge within the regulations of Christianity.

I strongly recommend that you study Kabbalah as well. The books Zohar and the Sephir Yetzirah really complement the Book Of Enoch.

The Zohar is a large volume of books but is summarized well here http://www.amazon.com/Zohar-Splendor-Basic...5213239&sr=8-12

A good translation of Sepher Yetzirah can be found here. http://www.amazon.com/Sefer-Yetzirah-Creat...75213394&sr=8-1

The ZOhar and Sepher Yetzirah are texts that you will want to read and set down for a while. Study other books of Kabbalah and then later re-read the Zohar and Sepher Yetzirah.
The more you study Kabbalah the more you understand the hidden meaning of the Bible.

Fortune Dion is an easy to understand Kabala writer. Israel Regardie is the best but you have to have a strong base in Kabbalah before you can understand him.

The Bible <Old Testament / Torah is a group of books that Rabbis decided to give to the Greeks. It would be impossible to compile all of the Hebrew texts into one book. It might stand 10 feet tall from the floor!

The Kings James Bible and Earlier Bishops Bible have huge discrepancies from the actual Hebrew text. They were altered from the original Hebrew meaning. For example King James was Bi-sexual and was angry to see that the original translation was so hard against homosexuals. He ordered that it be changed and the result was King James II version. Also due to the rivalry with pagan religions of that time some of the text was altered to validate killing pagans. For example “ Thou shall not suffer a prisoner to live was changed to Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”

Our modern Bibles are mistranslations of the already corrupt King James and Bishops Bibles.

The most beautifully written and most authentic Bible I have ever read is the Book Of Yahweh http://www.yahweh.com/bookofyahweh.htm

However this edition has a spin off sect which believes the world will be destroyed by nuclear war etc. They seem a bit crazy from my point of view etc.

Peace!
