This two-volume set is the most comprehensive analysis of John Dee's Angelical language ever undertaken.
The Angelical language channeled by alchemist Edward Kelley and recorded by royal astrologer John Dee has mystified magicians, linguists, historians, and cryptographers for generations. Previously published separately, these two volumes are now available as a must-have set in a gorgeous slipcase.
In Volume I, independent scholar Aaron Leitch introduces the history and mythos of the celestial tongue and reveals how it was received, for what it was intended, and how to use it properly. In Volume II, every Angelical word recorded in Dee's books, journals, and personal grimoire is cross-referenced, allowing the reader to recognize root words, alternate spellings, and more. In addition to Dee's own phonetic notations, a brand-new pronunciation key is included so readers can learn to speak the language and use it in their own magick.
"The Angelical Language is the single most comprehensive text ever written on the subject of the Enochian magical system and language of Elizabethan luminary, Dr. John Dee. This two-volume magnum opus demonstrates Aaron Leitch's familiarity with practical magic as well as his skill as a meticulous researcher. A must-have book."
—Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero, Chief Adepts of the Hermetic Order of the . . .

"The most in-depth analysis of the Enochian alphabet and the Enochian language that has appeared to date."
—Donald Tyson, author of Necronomicon
"In The Angelical Language, Aaron Leitch is to be congratulated on producing what is surely by far the most lucid, thorough, practical, and coherent study of the apparently diverse workings of Dr John Dee and Edward Kelley to date."
—David Rankine and Sorita d'Este, authors of Practical Elementary Magick
"This extensive tome, ten yeas in the making, is a profound step in the evolution of magickal understanding. Though debate continues to surround the 'legitimacy' of Dee and Kelley's Enochian system, its influence on modern magick is undeniable. Aaron Leitch has taken it upon himself to deeply explore the ins and outs of the Angelical Language, examining its linguistics and origins with accuracy and an eye for detail. For serious practitioners interested in an approach to Enochia that is both scholarly and mystical, I can't suggest this book highly enough."
—Raven Digitalis, author of Shadow Magick Compendium and Planetary Spells and Rituals
"This is an incredibly ambitious project, and I'm deeply impressed with the author's discovery of root words in Enochian, something that I never would have imagined."
—Patrick Dunn, author of The Practical Art of Divine Magic and The Orphic Hymns
