Portrait of John Dee painted during the 17th century by an unknown artist. Among these books was the then-fabled Book of Enoch, which he conceived as being a book describing the magic system used by the Patriarch in the Bible. Dee was looking to discover lost spiritual knowledge and recover the wisdom he believed was hidden in books of antiquity. Later on, he became disillusioned with science and began experimenting with magic and the occult. During the early part of his life, Dee had little interest in the supernatural. He is associated with coining the phrase ‘British Empire’. John’s College in Cambridge, was eventually accepted into influential circles of the ruling elite and acted as scientific advisor and confidant to Queen Elizabeth I. John Dee, 1527-1609, was an occultist, mathematician, astronomer and astrologer who lived in Mort Lake, West London for most of his life. The new language was called "Enochian" and comes from John Dee's assertion that the Biblical Patriarch Enoch had been the last human to know the language.
This ‘angelic’ language contained its own alphabet, grammar and syntax, which they wrote down in journals. In the year 1581, occultists John Dee and Edward Kelley, claimed to have received communications from angels, who provided them with the foundations of a language with which to communicate with ‘the other side’. They claimed this ‘celestial speech’ allowed magicians and occultists to communicate with angelic realms.
