Enochian Tables and
Seals
Much
of the innate beauty of the Enochian System lies in it's intricate tables and
seals. These are what holds up the notion that the whole system was not
dictated to Dee straight from the imagination of Kelley. Unfortunately, it does
not deny the question that he system was a construct of Dee and Kelley in
cohorts, or the obscure notion that Kelley never worked with Dee, and Dee
created it all himself. Either way, these still form a beautiful magickal and
mathematical system.
While
the angels dictated these tables and seals, Dee was constantly being tested on
his understanding of their creation. This is why detailed analysis of them has
been provided here, so that the reader not only gains a magickal symbol, but
also an understanding of it. This is where the true power in Magick comes, not
from a powerful symbol, but from an understanding of it. And in Dee's words:
"Who does not understand, should either learn, or be silent."
The
information provided here contain samples of Tables and drawings from Dee's diaries,
along with explanations of their patterning and creations. Given the vast
amount of information provided by Dee in his life, I am only able to provide
samples at the moment, and as I am able to come into possession of better
copies, I will post them here.
Sigillum Dei Aemaeth- The Seal of God's truth given to Dee by
the Archangel Michael in an early seance. Pictures and method of creation.
Table I (20 March 1582)- A simple table containing angelic names
which is used in the Sigillum Dei Aemeth

Sample of the Tables or the Book of
Enoch- Pagesgem -
One of Dee's 49x49 character tables from the Book of Enoch, sometimes known as
the Liber Logaeth. Downloadable text tables, and explanation of symmetry and
structure. Incorrectly named in Casaubon's work as "Pagesgem Baccap
Laffos"- which is the two tables of that leaf.
The Elemental Table- A four piece table containing the
Characteres Symmetrici, given to Dee by the Archangel Raphael. Includes a
Shockwave interactive version of the table, from which the information from the
Tabula Collecta:49 Angelorum Bonorum- Table containing 49 ministers of God,

The 12 x 7 Table- Table of 12 x 7 characters, in two
versions, one incorrect and the other corrected, containing the names of the
Heptarchic Kings and Princes from the Tablua Collecta. Later used to help form
the Holy Table.

Holy Table or "Table of Union". These tables were worn by angels in
the April 28 1582 séance.
The Holy Table- A Table from Meric Casaubon's John

The Body of Nalvage- A table of letters given to Dee and
Kelley in an early séance which is "The Body of Nalvage" one of the
angels.
