The Angelical Language, Volume I: The Complete History and Mythos of the Tongue of Angels: v. 1 (The Angelical Language: The Complete History and Mythos of the Tongue of Angels) - Hardcover

"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 Golden Dawn "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 "The most in-depth analysis of the Enochian alphabet and the Enochian language that has appeared to date." --Donald Tyson "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

The Angelical language channeled by alchemist Edward Kelley and recorded by royal astrologer John Dee has mystified magicians, linguists, historians, and cryptographers for generations. It's even rumoured that Angelical may be an encryption method of some kind, unbroken to this day. This fascinating, in-depth analysis reveals the truth behind the saga of two Renaissance wizards who spoke with angels and received instruction in the Celestial Tongue. Aaron Leitch's long-awaited masterwork reveals in plain language - for the first time ever - how the angelical language was received, for what it was intended, and how to use it properly, providing a lively historical context for the practical application in volume II.
