I am planning my next tattoo and I am interested in the Enochian texts and calls from the Dee era.. does anyone have any insight into this??
The tattoo is very much in the planning stage but this language has always drawn me and I need a good copy of it to get started.
If anyone can recommend a good and rather layperson book I would really appreciate it.. 😉

Everyone . . dig up some pics for IO so she can have a bigger Enochian selectionApparently it had something to do with John Dee . So researching him might yeld more results too.
SigilDee’s Sigil of Ameth from his Enochian workings
A sigil (lat. sigillum, diminutive of signum, “sign”) is a symbol designed for a specific magical purpose. They are designed to represent a glyph, composed of a variety of symbols or concepts with the intent and inherent iconic meaning. Essentially, sigils are symbolic icons that are condensed representations of more complex ideas or information.Source : Thelemapedia

Thanks for looking for me.. I have done quite a bit of research on enochian text.. so heres a short explanation for anyone interested..
there are 2 schools of thought on the subject.. in short description ..1. it was the Laungage spoken by God to create……. well everything 😛 and it was translated to Dee and Kelly to call the angels and be used in magical rights…
later adapted by Alester Crowley who came up with a different translation ..2. It was Dee being fooled by Kelly who was rather a scam artist of the time … and was being paid by Dee to translate the information .. so not even a divine revelation ..
I was looking more at the letter translation to spell words… which is difficult since some letters of our alphabet have no translation .. lol but anyway,, the number graphs and codex for the magical uses are a little above me.. ( and most people, so I dont feel too bad)
but thats a VERY direct and short explanation for a complex subject..
but if you find any of this interesting please look it up… it’s quite a story 😉
