The Angelical Language: v. 1: The Complete History and Mythos of the Tongue of Angels (The Angelical Language: The Complete History and Mythos of the Tongue of Angels)
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.
The Angelical Language: v. 2: An Encyclopedic Lexicon of the Tongue of Angels (The Angelical Language: An Encyclopedic Lexicon of the Tongue of Angels)
This companion volume is the most comprehensive analysis of John Dee's Angelical language ever undertaken. Most Enochian dictionaries merely present word lists. This encyclopedic textbook is designed so readers can actually learn the language, and use it in their own magick. It features a pronunciation key designed to make the language pronounceable in real life. For the first time ever, every Enochian word recorded in Dee's books, journals, and personal grimoires is recorded and cross-referenced in a number of helpful ways, allowing the reader to recognize root words, alternate spellings, and more. This is the authoritative guide to Celestial Language in its purest form.
