We might doubt whether Angels…, since they be pure spirits, use any vocal

speech, or tongue amongst themselves, or to us; but that Paul in some place saith,

“If I speak with the tongue of men, or angels.” But what their speech or tongue is,

is much doubted by many. [...] But now how Angels speak it is hid from us, as

they themselves are. [-Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Book III, Chapter 23.]

Introduction

In those Tables are contained the mystical and holy voices of the Angels, dignified. And, in state,

disglorified and drent in confusion; which pierceth Heaven, and looketh into the Center of the

Earth: the very language and speech of children and innocents, such as magnify the name of God,

and are pure. Wherein the Apostles understood the diffuse sound of the World, imperfected for

mans transgression. [-The Angel Nalvage]

During the five brief years between of 1582 and 1587 CE, the famous Elizabethan

scholar and mystic Dr. John Dee recorded a new and mysterious language in his private

journals. According to Dee's records, this was the Tongue of Angels- as we see

mentioned by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:1. With the help of a medium known as Sir

Edward Kelley, Dee performed a series of evocations of Angelic intelligences who

endeavored to teach the men their Celestial Speech. The result was an entire book

written in the enigmatic language, with very few words translated; forty-eight poems

written in the same language, with full translations; and several words and phrases

scattered throughout the journals, some with translations and some without.

During their very first meeting, Dee learned that Kelley had a knack for

mediumship that he himself lacked. Dee performed an invocation to bring Angels into

his mystical shewstone, and Kelley was able to see, hear and speak to the Angels with

ease. Thereafter, the two men formed a years-long partnership dedicated to a series of

Angelic seances. The seances effectively ended by 1587, and the two men went their

separate ways by 1589 CE. The journals have survived loss, fire and other perils for four

hundred years, waiting for us to discover the linguistic primers left by the Angels through

Dee and Kelley.

Not only did the Angels claim this was the native Tongue of Angels, it was also

the original language of Eden, with which Adam named all things in existence. The

Archangel Gabriel explains at length:

...whereby even as the mind of man is moved at an ordered speech, and is easily persuaded in

things that are true, so are the creatures of God stirred up in themselves, when they hear the words

wherewithal they were nursed and brought forth: For nothing moveth, that is not persuaded:

neither can any thing be persuaded that is unknown. The Creatures of God understand you not,

you are not of their Cities: you are become enemies, because you are separated from him that

6

Governeth the City by ignorance.

[Adam] in his Creation, being made an Innocent, was also authorized and made partaker of the

Power and Spirit of God: whereby he not only did know all things under his Creation and spoke of

them properly, naming them as they were: but also was partaker of our presence and society, yea a

speaker of the mysteries of God; yea, with God himself: so that in innocency the power of his

partakers with God, and us his good Angels, was exalted, and so became holy in the sight of God

until [Adam] lost the Garden of felicity, the judgment of his understanding. But not utterly the

favour of God, and was driven forth (as your scriptures record) unto the Earth which was covered

with brambles.

Where being dumb, and not able to speak, he began to learn of necessity the Language which

thou, Edward Kelley, callest: [1: Hebrew]. And, yet, not that [2: Hebrew] amongst you. In the

which he uttered and delivered unto his posterity, the nearest knowledge he had of his Creatures.

And from his own self divided his speech into three parts, twelve, three, and seven: the number

whereof remaineth, but the true forms and pronunciations want; and therefore is not of that force

that it was in his own dignity, much less to be compared with this that we deliver, which Adam

verily spake in innocency, and was never uttered nor disclosed to man since till now, wherein the

power of God must work, and wisdom in her true kind be delivered: which are not to be spoken of

in any other thing, neither to be talked of with man's imaginations; for as this Work and Gift is of

God, which is all power, so doth he open it in a tongue of power, to the intent that the proportions

may agree in themselves...

Thus you see the Necessity of this Tongue: The Excellency of it, and the Cause why it is preferred

before that which you call Hebrew: For it is written, Every lesser consenteth to his greater. I trust

this is sufficient. [-A True and Faithful Relation... p. 92-3]

At the time Dee lived, Hebrew was considered the primary Sacred Language of the West.

It was a dead tongue at the time, and therefore not subject to change. It was the language

of the Old Testament, spoken by the Prophets themselves, and it was thought to be the

language spoken by Angels. What Gabriel suggests above is that Angelical is the true

Primordial Tongue, the original upon which Hebrew itself is based. By telling Dee that

Angelical is preferred before Hebrew, Gabriel is suggesting that Angelical is the true

Sacred Language of the West.

There are two primary sources available for the Tongue of Angels: The 49 Tables

of Loagaeth and the Forty-Eight Angelical Keys. The First (“hidden”) Table of Loagaeth

7

(sides A and B) contains approximately 4802 words compiled into 98 lines of text. It is a

wonderful sample of the Language, which could be used to analyze the letters of the

remaining 48 Tables. Unfortunately, no translation of the Holy Book was ever recorded

in Dee’s surviving journals. We know only what the Angels claimed is in the text, and a

few precious words translated here and there. In many ways, modern scholars have to

approach the Book of Loagaeth as archaeologists once approached Egyptian

hieroglyphics. We can examine the words and make a lot of educated guesses about

linguistic patterns, but without an Angelical Rosetta Stone we are ultimately flying blind.

Perhaps this Rosetta Stone already exists in the Forty-Eight Angelical Keys. The

Keys represent a much smaller sample of the Language- totaling only 1070 words, and

much fewer if we exclude words that repeat. However, unlike Loagaeth, the text of the

Angelical Keys came with English translations. This grants us a wonderful opportunity

to analyze the Angelical words closely- looking for syntax and grammar, root words,

compounds, affixes, etc. (Then, with any luck, we can apply what we learn to the text of

Loagaeth- beginning with the First Table.)

Beyond these two primary sources, we also have the random words and phrases

spoken by the Angels during conversations with Dee or Kelley. (These are found

throughout Dee's records.) From time to time, the Angels would apparently slip into their

native tongue, and Dee was usually good about stopping them to ask for translations.

The Angels most often obliged- though they usually offered translations for entire phrases

rather than individual words. That leaves us with a number of Angelical words that have

no individual translations, but for which we know something about how they are used.

These words and phrases will be covered in this course separately from the words taken

from the Forty-Eight Angelical Keys.

Given the profound influence the so-called “Enochian” language has had upon

Western occultism (through the Golden Dawn, Thelema, Neopaganism and more), I feel

there is very good reason to agree that Angelical is the great Western Sacred Language.

Because of this, I feel this beginner's course in Angelical is long overdue for students of

the Western Esoteric Tradition.

If, on the other hand, you are not a student of esotericism, then perhaps you are a

student of linguistics. The idea that Dee and Kelley may have fabricated the language is

as fascinating as the idea that they received it from Angels. In that light, we might

8

compare a study of Angelical to similar explorations of Tolkien's Elvish tongue, or

Orwell's Newspeak.

Over the course of ten years, I have- along with some of the best minds in the

study of Enochiana- exhaustively analyzed the Angelical Tongue recorded in Dee's

journals. I have focused only upon Dee's records, leaving aside the developments of later

mystics like Ashmole, Westcott, Crowley, etc. The results of my work are contained in

The Angelical Language: Vols. I and II- covering the history, mythology and linguistics

of Angelical, as well as an Encyclopedic Lexicon of the language.

The following course is compiled entirely from The Angelical Language-

especially Volume II, An Encyclopedic Lexicon of the Tongue of Angels. The course

includes fourteen lessons designed to take the student from the basic principles of the

language all the way to translating English texts into proper Angelical. While it is not

nearly as extensive as the Lexicon, the following material can serve as a great starting

point or even a companion workbook for the Lexicon itself.

Keep in mind, however, that neither this course nor the Lexicon are intended as

the final say on Angelical. We have only a small sample of the language to analyze, and

we are left with uncertainty about many aspects of its grammar. If there are only one or

two examples of a certain part of speech or grammar in Dee's records, we can only make

educated guesses about their proper use. In some cases I have left the question entirely

open, and merely presented what evidence I could find. It is my hope that the Lexicon

and this course will help other scholars and linguists further our understanding of the

Angelical tongue.

The Principles of AngelicalWhile transmitting the 49 Tables of Loagaeth to Dee and Kelley, the Archangel

Raphael had the following to say about its mysterious language:

Every Element hath 49 manner of understandings. Therein is comprehended so many languages.

They are all spoken at once, and severally, by themselves, by distinction may be spoken. [-Five

Books of Mystery, p 297]

I assume the “Elements” of Loagaeth are the 49 individual Tables. If each of

9

these Tables contain 49 interpretations and languages (or, perhaps, dialects of Angelical),

it makes for a total of 2401 interpretations/dialects. It is probable that the language of the

48 Keys represents a sample of one of these Angelical dialects. Of course, it is this

“dialect” we will focus upon for this course, as it is the only sample we currently possess

(complete with translations).

My analysis of Angelical suggests the language works much like Earth's most

primordial idioms- such as Egyptian, Sumerian or Biblical Hebrew. We find at the heart

of the language an array of simple root words- usually three or four characters in length.

These root words may sometimes stand alone as complete words, but more often they

represent generalized concepts. Full words are formed by the application of a limited

(and as yet largely unknown) set of affixes. Then, more sophisticated concepts can be

symbolized by compounding the smaller words.

Angelical also shares with ancient languages what I call “fluid definitions.” By

this, I mean that any given word may possess a number of different- but closely related-

definitions. Consider these three examples taken from my Lexicon:

Malpurg (Fiery Darts) grplam

Malprg (Through-Thrusting Fire) grplam

Malpirgi (Fires of Life and Increase) igriplam

These are compound words, formed of the root words “Mal” and "Prg" (Flame). From

these examples, we can see that the root word “Mal” might indicate “Darts” (Arrows),

“Through-Thrusting” and/or “Increase.” All of these are very different English words,

but we can see an underlying conceptual relationship between them. By themselves (that

is, out of context) the above three words hardly seem different at all. (Note, for instance,

that the Angelical characters for the first two words are identical.)

The beautiful poetry we normally associate with the Angelical Keys is mostly

elaboration. (I illustrate this plainly in my Angelical Cross-Reference found in the

Lexicon.) What Dee called the “English senses” of the Keys are filled with glosses,

poetic license and implied adjectives. The Angelical words merely “signify a concept”,

and we are somewhat free to apply any English words that properly (and poetically)

10

illustrate the concept. This is not so different, in fact, than we might see with

“translations” of the Egyptian Book of the Dead or the Tao Te Ching. Different

translators will produce different translations, depending on their own interpretation of

the languages.

Angelical lacks more advanced linguistic tools like articles (a, an, the) and tense

(past, present or future). Much like the ancient languages, these things are indicated in

the Angelical Keys strictly by context.

It is very unclear if such things as plurals, conjugation, case or tense exist at all.

Several Angelical words appear to change spelling when used in different senses. For

example, consider the following verbs:

Goho (Sayeth) Naoln (May Be) Zir or Zirdo (Am)

Gohia (We Say) Noan (To Become) Zirom (Were)

Gohol (Saying) Noar (Is Become) Zirop (Was)

Gohon (Have Spoken) Noas (Are Become)

Gohus (I Say) Noasmi (Let Become)

Gohulim (Is Said)

It would certainly appear that conjugation is taking place in each case. However, no

scholar to date has discovered any rule-set that explains the changes. Besides which,

there are also many words that change spelling throughout the Keys without apparent

cause. (Meaning the same word will appear in different places with different spellings,

even when used in the same way each time.) For example:

Aai, Aao (Amongst)

Acocasb, Cocasb (Time)

Butmon, Butmona (Mouth)

Efafafe, Ofafafe (Vials)

Netaab, Netaaib (Government)

For this reason, the following course will pass over conjugation, tense and case- treating

11

each variation as a “version” of the base word. This can be updated as we expand our

understanding of Angelical grammar.

I should also point out that Angelical does seem to utilize some form of “vocative

case.” A vocative noun is a person's name included in a sentence where that person is

being addressed. For example, in the phrase “Open the door, John”, the word “John” is

vocative. Of course, there is no vocative case in English – so we do not see any spelling

change to the word “John” when used vocatively. However, older languages such as

Latin do utilize a vocative case. The most famous example comes from Shakespeare’s

play Julius Caesar- during the scene where Caesar’s best friend Brutus stabs him in the

back. After the assault, Caesar turns to Brutus and says, “Et tu, Brute?” (“And you,

Brutus?”) The Latin name Brute is the vocative case of the name Brutus.

The use of the vocative case in Angelical remains unclear. We have only the

following three examples (none of which are found in the Angelical Keys):

Noun - Vocative Case

Befafes - Befes

Barma - Barman

Bobogel - Bobogelzod

This is very little to go on. The first example (Befafes) is the name of a Heptarchic

Angel, whose name appears to shorten when used vocatively. The second example

(Barma) is the name of a demon, whose name appears to lengthen when used vocatively.

The third example (Bobogel) is uncertain. The noun is another Heptarchic Angel, and I

have merely assumed the lengthened version is a vocative case of his name.

Based on this sparse evidence, I assume that Angelical vocative case either

shortens or lengthens the noun depending on who is addressed. Familiarity might be

indicated by shortening the noun, as we see with Befes. (For instance, if a man sends his

daughter Jennifer to the store, he might say, “Will you go to the store, Jen?” The word

“Jen” is a vocative abridgment of “Jennifer” that only her family and friends would be

expected to use.)

Conversely, Angelical may indicate formality by lengthening the name, as we see

with Barman and Bobogelzod. In the first instance, an Angel was addressing a lesser

spirit, toward whom familiarity would not have been shown. In the second instance,

12

perhaps someone is addressing Bobogel in a manner of respect, as "Bobogelzod."

As I stated concerning conjugation and plurals, this course will pass over

grammatical case (including vocative) in silence. There is simply too little evidence upon

which to build usable rule-sets. These subjects need further exploration.

The Angelical use of pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions and adjectives are rare

or, at best, sporadic. Where they are used (such as conjunctions, adjectives and

pronouns), it appears to be only where their inclusion was unavoidable. Otherwise, these

parts of speech are implied largely by context. (The main exception is the simplest of

conjunctions- “and”- which is the most-used word in the Keys.) These subjects will be

covered in the following course, but do not expect to find any established rule-sets for

their use.

It might seem that this similarity with primordial languages supports the Angels'

claim that Angelical is the primordial origin of all human tongues. However, in the spirit

of good scholarship, I must point out that the same primitive (or simplistic) mark would

be found in a language created by only one or two people.

13

Pronunciation Key for this CourseThroughout this course, I will include phonetic pronunciation notes with the

Angelical words and phrases. As explained in depth in the Lexicon, I have gathered these

pronunciations from Dee's own notations included throughout his journals. However, I

have created a new system of phonetic notation, intended to be intuitive to the modern

English speaker.

You may notice that this key is very different from the pronunciation guides we

normally see for the “Enochian” language. Most often, such guides are “alphabetical” –

meaning they present the Angelical (or English equivalent) letters, and then suggest what

sounds these letters might make individually. While it is good to know what sound each

letter makes, it tells us little about what sounds are made when the letters are combined

into actual syllables and words.

My pronunciation guide, on the other hand, is entirely “phonetic.” It begins with

the sounds that make up the syllables. Then, it presents the phonetic notations I have

created to represent those sounds. These notations are intended to be simple and intuitive

to the native English speaker. I have little doubt that a brief study of the following key

will make my phonetic notes easy to understand.

VowelsShort vowels are mostly represented by single letters, while I have extended the

long vowels to two letters:

Phonetic Sound - Notation

A –long (cake, day) - ay

A –short (bat, cat) - a

E –long (beet, seat) - ee

E –short (bed, wed) - e

I –long (bite, kite) - ii

I –short (bit, sit) - i

O –long (boat, slope) - oh

O –short (bot, stop, father) - o, ah

U –long (boot, blue) - oo

U –short (but, cup) - u

14

Note: There are some cases where an “A” falls at the end of a word. This likely

indicates something between a long and short "A"- or a schwa. In such cases, I have

simply left a single “a” in my pronunciation. It can be treated as a short “A”, but it is

more akin to a schwa sound.

ConsonantsIf consonants are written together (as in: br, cr, gr, st, th, tr), simply pronounce the

combined sound as you would in present day English (break, crate, grab, start, etc...).

Otherwise, standard consonant sounds are indicated by the following:

Phonetic Sound - Notation

B (branch, blurb) - b

D (dog, during) - d

F (far, fork) - f

G (gap, gourd) - g

H (half, heavy) - h

J (jump, giant, bludgeon) - j

K (kind, can) - k

L (large, loud) - l

M (many, move) - m

N (north, never) - n

P (pace, pardon) - p

R (rain, banner) - r, er

S (serve, circle) - s

T (test, tax) - t

W (water, wind) - w

X (exit, except) - ks

Y (yellow, your) - y

Z (zoom, zebra) - z

15

“Long Consonants”There are many cases where Dee indicated a consonant standing alone in a

syllable. At these times, the letter does not make its usual consonant sound. Instead, the

syllable is pronounced the same as the English name of the consonant. I have dubbed

these “long consonants”, and I represent their sounds as follows:

Phonetic Sound - Notation

D - dee

F - ef

G - jee

J - jay

L - el

M - em

N - en

P - pee

Q - kwah

R - ur

S - es

T - tee

Y - wii

Z - zohd, zed

16

DiphthongsThe Diphthongs are fairly standard to modern English:

Phonetic Sound - Notation

Qu (queen, quick) - kw

Ou, Ow (out, town) - ow

Oi, Oy (oil, boy) - oy

Sh (shine, wish) - sh

Ch (church, witch) - ch

Ch (ache, chrome) - kh

Ph (phone, philosophy) - f

Th (that, whither, thorn) - th

Accented SyllablesI have indicated accents in my pronunciations by writing the related syllable in

ALL CAPS. These accents are based on Dee's notations, and I have avoided adding

accents to words where Dee left no clues.

17

Lesson One: The Angelical Alphabet

Characters therefore are nothing else than certain unknowable letters and writings, preserving the

secrets of the gods, and names of the spirits from the use and reading of profane men, which the

ancients called hieroglyphical, or sacred letters, because devoted to the secrets of the gods only.

For they did account it unlawful to write the mysteries of the gods with those characters with

which profane and vulgar things were wrote. [-Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Book III,

Chapter 29]

It is my hope that students of this course will already have some familiarity with

Hebrew as used in the Western Esoteric Tradition. This is not because you will need any

Hebrew knowledge for this lesson, but only because it would be nice to have some

understanding of how the Western Mysteries make use of Sacred Alphabets. For those

without such knowledge, I will explain briefly here:

The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 letters. These letters are actually transitional

between hieroglyphs and letters as we know them. Therefore, each letter represents an

entire word by itself, while also representing a phonetic sound. For example, the Hebrew

word Beth means “House” (or Tent, Dwelling, etc), but it also stands for the letter “B.”

This tends to fascinate mystics, because it means any Hebrew word (especially names of

God and Angels) can be viewed as an entire sentence, and such “sentences” can be

analyzed for mystical insight.

The Hebrew alphabet also predates the use of numbers as we know them. Rather

than using an entirely different set of characters for numbers, the ancient Israelites used

the letters of their alphabet. The first letter (Aleph) was assigned to one, the second letter

(Beth) was assigned to two, and so forth. Therefore, the same mystics who read the

Hebrew names as sentences could also read them as mathematical equations. They

discovered obscure relationships between numbers and sacred words- known today as

Gematria or “Bible-codes.”

As the Archangel Gabriel mentioned (see Introduction), the 22 letters of the

Hebrew Alphabet are traditionally divided into groups of 3, 7 and 12. As outlined in the

foundational Qabalistic text Sepher Yetzirah (the Book of Formation), these groups are

assigned astrological correspondences. The three “Mother Letters” represent the

18

Elements Air, Fire and Water- which were used by God to create the Earth. The seven

“Double Letters” represent the Planets. The remaining twelve “Simple Letters” represent

the constellations of the Zodiac. Together they represent all of the building blocks of the

physical universe. God creates merely by arranging and rearranging the Letters into

different Divine Words.

The Sepher Yetzirah also insists that the hieroglyphic Hebrew letters are sacred in

their proportions. In a mystical sense, they represent the Creation of Man. (Remember

that the letters are given astrological correspondences, and astrology assigns such

correspondences to all parts of the body.) Therefore, when occultists use the Hebrew

letters in talismanic magick, they are encouraged to take great care in reproducing the

letters exactly.

This was Hebrew as Dee would have seen it- through the eyes of a Western

mystic. Gabriel suggested that Angelical was a superior replacement for Hebrew- and he

likely meant for it to be used with the Agrippa-style occultism with which Dee was most

familiar. It should be used in the inscription of Talismans and magickal Tools (as we can

see throughout Dee's journals). The Angel Illemese even echoes the Sepher Yetzirah

where it comes to inscribing the hieroglyph-like Angelical characters:

These letters represent the Creation of man, and therefore they must be in proportion. They

represent the workmanship wherewithal the soul of man was made like unto his Creator. [-Five

Books of Mystery, p. 373]

In this light, let us take a look at the “Perfected” Angelical letters, as recorded by Edward

Kelley at the end of the Book of Loagaeth. The following chart contains the letters, their

Angelical names and their phonetic values in English:

19

The Angelical Alphabet

Graph Un Or Gal Ged Veh Pa

e a f d g c bE A F D G/J C/Ch/K B

Drux Ger Mals Ur Na Gon Tal

n q p l h i/y mN Q/Qu P/Ph L H I / Y M

Gisg Fam Van Ceph Don Med Pal

t s u z r o xT S U/V Z R O X

Like Hebrew- and other Semitic languages- Angelical runs from right to left. In

the above chart, Pa (“B”) is the first letter and Gisg (“T”) is the last. Of course, when we

are writing the words in English transliteration, it is common practice to write them from

left to right. (I will be following this convention throughout this course.) It is only when

written in Angelical characters that the words must run in the older right to left direction.

Another trait Angelical shares with Hebrew is the fact that each letter has both a

phonetic value and also stands as a word on its own. For instance, the letter “D” in

Hebrew is called Daleth- but the word Daleth also translates as “Door.” The letters of

the Angelical alphabet work in a similar fashion- though with some key differences. For

instance, the Angelical letter “D” is called Gal, and it is certain that Gal is a proper word

with its own translation. (This, and several other letter-names appear in the text of

Loagaeth as whole words.) However, unfortunately, no translations for the Angelical

letter-names were ever offered.

20

Meanwhile, unlike Hebrew letter-names, the word Gal does not begin with the

phonetic value of “D.” (As we can see in the previous chart of the alphabet, few of the

Angelical letter-names reflect their phonetic values. Pa = “B”, Tal = “M”, Drux = “N”,

etc.)

Another similarity between Hebrew and Angelical is the mystical division of

letters. Note that there are only 21 Angelical characters, rather than the 22 of Hebrew.

That means we can not divide the letters as Adam did into 3, 7 and 12. Instead, the

Angelical letters were divided by the Angels into three sets of seven. Of this three-fold

division Raphael says, “The number of perfection, one in three.” I assume this 3x7

division is intended to reflect both the Book of Loagaeth and the Heptarchic system-

which are both based upon a seven-fold scheme. An alphabet of twenty-two letters

would not mathematically “fit” the Angelic system revealed to Dee and Kelley.

Unfortunately, the Angels never provided astrological (or any) correspondences to each

letter.

In order to make this comparison between Hebrew and Angelical complete, I

should also mention the subject of “Angelical Gematria.” It has long been assumed that

Angelical letters possess numerical values similar to Hebrew letters. This is thanks, in

part, to statements made about numbers by the Archangel Gabriel. These statements are

most often taken out of context by modern scholars. For example, Gabriel says, “The

Letters are separated, and in confusion: and, therefore, are by numbers gathered

together.” In the same speech, the Archangel adds, “Where being known in number, they

are easily distinguished, so that here we teach places to be numbered.” The student of

Qabalistic Gematria will find such statements familiar within their own art.

However, it turns out that Gabriel was not describing simple numbers associated

with the Angelical alphabet, but a complex set of numbers given with several words in

Key One (which were added together to create “mystical square roots”). Those numbers

are associated with the Tables of Loagaeth and the words of the Keys, but not with the

individual characters of the alphabet.

Another hint toward an Angelical gematria rests in the Keys themselves. Several

of the Keys contain numbers that are represented by letters:

21

ACAM = 7699 GA = 31 OP = 22

AF = 19 MAPM = 9639 OX = 26

CIAL = 9996 MIAN = 3663 P = 8

CLA = 456 NI = 28 PD = 33

DAOX = 5678 O = 5 PERAL = 69636

DARG = 6739 OB = 28 QUAR = 1636

EMOD = 8763 OL = 24 TAXS = 7336

ERAN = 6332 OS = 12 UX = 42

As we can see in the above list, there are always as many letters in the Angelical

as there are numbers in the translation. This suggests that these letters are not the

Angelical words for their numbers (as the English for “33” is “Thirty-Three”). Instead,

the letters would appear to share a one-to-one relationship with the numbers. For

instance, in the letters CLA (456)- the character C could represent 4, the L might represent

5, and the A represent 6.

However, we find little consistency in this relationship between the letters and

numbers. For example, note how the letter “O” appears to represent 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 at the

same time. Also note PERAL, which uses P, R and L to represent 6. No one to date has

discovered the mystery behind this inconsistency.

The bottom line is that the Angels never suggested the existence of an Angelical

numerology or Gematria to Dee or Kelley. Whenever the men did employ such arts in

the journals, it is always of the type found in the Qabalah or the works of Agrippa-

simply applied to the names and words revealed by the Angels. This does not mean that

an Angelical gematria does not exist. (In fact, it would surprise me if Angelical letters

did not also represent numbers, as this is a common trait of ancient languages.) It only

means that such a system was never mentioned by the Angels nor (as far as we know)

ever developed by Dee himself.

Lesson Two: Angelical Phonology

We see all things, and nothing is hid from us, respecting our Creation. The waters shall stand, if

they hear their own speech. The heavens shall move, and shew themselves, when they know their

thunder. Hell shall tremble, when they know what is spoken to them. […] Thou shalt speak with

us, and we will be spoken with, of thee. [-The Archangel Raphael]

Before we discuss the pronunciation of Angelical, we must first consider a few

points about the English used by Dee to record the words. During their seances, Kelley

spoke the Angelical words aloud while Dee recorded them in English characters. (He

also added marginal notes with phonetic pronunciation clues.) These words and notes are

all recorded in- and represent sounds familiar to- Elizabethan English.

Early-modern English and AngelicalDee lived from 1527 – 1608 CE, making him contemporary with folks like King

James (1537 – 1640 CE) and William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616 CE). These men all

spoke “Elizabethan” English (with different regional dialects). As any Enochian scholar

can tell you, reading Dee’s journals is an ordeal similar to reading Shakespeare’s plays or

James’ authorized Bible. Therefore, a study of Shakespeare’s English is necessary if one

wishes to estimate the sound of the Angelical words.

Contrary to popular belief, the English spoken by Dee and Shakespeare was not

Old or Middle English. It was, in fact, a form of modern English called “early-Modern

English.” This idiom existed roughly between the late 1400s and the late 1600s. In other

words, it was the standard language of the European Renaissance era. It was not the

“snobbish” accent we currently associate with the British upper class and royalty. Nor

was it the cockney dialect we associate with east-end London peasants. These accents did

not originate (as we know them) until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Those who study Shakespearean phonetics commonly suggest that early-modern

English sounded more like the “hillbilly” accent found in the Appalachian regions of

eastern America. That is because the Appalachian people migrated from Europe while

early-modern English was prevalent, and then settled into isolated communities.

33

Therefore, their language remained unchanged for hundreds of years, and it currently

contains the most similarities with early-modern English. Of course, I am not suggesting

that we read the Angelical Keys in the voice of Jed Clampett. However, it is important to

place the phonetic sounds we are going to explore in their proper context.

Early-modern English is a transitional dialect between Middle English and what

we speak today (present-day English). It retained some of the spelling conventions of

Middle English, but had shifted to a pronunciation more familiar to the present-day

version. That, in fact, is why it so often confuses modern students. We can listen to plays

by Shakespeare and- for the most part- understand what we are hearing. There may be

puns or catch-phrases we don’t recognize, and there are a few words that have changed in

meaning, but the words still sound basically like present-day English.

However, when we try to read the same material, there are some glaring

departures from what we learned about English in school. These departures are partially

thanks to the Middle English spelling conventions that had not yet passed out of the

system by the time of Shakespeare and Dee.

Thankfully, there is a brighter side to early-modern English as well. Most of the

grammatical rules you learned in school- and take for granted to this very day- apply to

Dee’s English. (That’s why the language sounds similar to our own when spoken.)

For the most part, the consonants in early-modern English sounded pretty much

the way we use them today. A “G” before an “E” or “I” generally had the soft “juh”

sound (as in: general, budge, giant,), but otherwise took the hard sound (as in: grand,

glad, haggard). The letter “R” probably sounded longer and more drawn out than

present-day English. For example, the name “Henry” has three syllables in early-modern

English. So does the word “angry.” The letter “Z” (called Zed, Ezod, Zod and sometimes

Izzard) was new, but was used by Dee and Kelley as we use it today (as in: zest, zip,

sizzle). The letter “X” took the sound of “ks” in the middle or at the end of a word (as in:

excite, taxes, fox), but the sound of “z” or “tz” at the beginning (as in: xylophone,

xenophobe).

Most of the diphthongs are familiar: “Th” (as in: this, that), “Sh” (as in: sheet,

dish), “Ph” (as in: phantasm, phone), etc. The diphthong “Ch” also existed- sometimes

representing the “tch” sound (as in: church, chain), and other times a guttural “kh” sound

(as in: ache, chrome, chronicle). “Kn” had finally developed the “nh” sound we know

today (as in: knight, knife). Early-modern English also recognized the more archaic

34

“Gn” diphthong as a throaty “nh” sound (as in: gnat, gnaw, gnarl).

Therefore, if you are a native English speaker, you can read the Angelical Keys

pretty much as they appear. You can most often go with your gut reaction on how the

letter-combinations of the words should sound.

Most of the differences between early modern and present-day English appear

where vowel-sounds are concerned. Of course, most of the grammatical rules are still the

same as we know them. For instance, an “E” following a consonant at the end of a word

will become silent, and make the preceding vowel long (as in: bake, precede, pipe, hope,

duke).

However, as we shall see, early-modern English used many peculiar letter-

combinations to represent the vowel sounds - many of them left over from the more

archaic spellings of Middle English. I would like to highlight a couple of points that

most often result in confusion for students:

First, early-modern English used the letters “I”, “Y” and “J” interchangeably. The

basic rule was that “I/Y” represented the vowel sounds, while “J” (actually an elongated

“I”) represented the consonant sound.

“I/Y” could be used at the beginning or end of a word- making the sounds of

“yuh” at the beginning (as in: yard, your, yellow) and “ee” at the end (as in: lady, windy).

Sometimes, an “I/Y” at the end of a word could have the long “eye” sound (as in sty, ply,

sky). If it follows an “A”, it makes that vowel long (as in: day, stay, dais). In the middle

of a word, “I” possessed its typical short sounds (as in: bit, sit, whither) or long sounds

(as in: bite, kite, blight, sight).

Meanwhile, either the letter “I” or its elongated “J” version could appear in a

word with the consonant “juh” sound. It might appear at the start of a word (as in:

iustice, iump, Iohann) or in the middle (as in: adjust, object, majestic). Finally, as if to

confuse matters further, the “juh” sound could also be represented by a “G” (as in:

danger, sage, range).

The next common point of confusion, for modern students, is between the letters

“U” and “V.” These letters were also interchangeable in early-modern English, and might

indicate either a vowel or a consonant sound.

If the letter was used at the beginning of a word, it was always written as “V.” It

might take the consonant “vuh” sound if preceding a vowel (as in: very, visit, vast). Or, it

might take the vowel sound if preceding a consonant; either the long “yew” sound (as in:

35

vtopia, vtilize, vseful), or the short “uh” sound (as in: vp, vtmost, vsher).

The “U” form of the letter could be used anywhere else in the word. Whether it

took the vowel or consonant sound was the same as above. It could take the consonant

sound if it preceded a vowel (as in sauage, saue, Dauid). Or, it could take the vowel

sound if it preceded a consonant (as in: mud, scrub, button).

I should also point out that the letter “W” was fairly rare. It was more often

written like a diphthong formed by a literal double “U” (or “V”) - “uu” or “vv.”

(However, I’m not certain linguists consider this an actual diphthong.)

Middle English and AngelicalMiddle English was the language used by Chaucer to write his Canterbury Tales.

One of the best-known traits of Middle English was the manner in which it tended to

pronounce every letter in a word. The most famous example is the word “knight” - which

we today pronounce (using the pronunciation key given in the introduction to this course)

as “niit.” However, the Middle English pronunciation of the word would have been

“k’nig-it”- where the “K”, the “G” and the “T” are all distinctly sounded. (By the time of

Dee’s English, the sound of the word had already shifted to the form we know today-

“niit.”)

By taking Dee’s phonetic clues into account, I have discovered the same general

trait throughout Angelical. This is especially applicable to vowels or groups of

consonants. For example, all the vowels in the word Aai are sounded (“ay-ay-ii“). In the

word Balye, the “A”, “Y” and “E” are all sounded distinctly (“bay-lii-ee“). The word

Momao follows the same rule- with the “A” and both “O”s sounded distinctly (“moh-

may-oh“).

For consonants, we can look at the final “M” in Mapm, which sounds alone

(“map-em“). Or the initial “L“ in Lring, which also makes its own sound (“el-ring“).

Another example is the word Zlida, where the initial “Z” stands alone (“zohd-lid-a”).

I could give dozens of examples of this convention, but I think the above should

suffice as an illustration. This in no way means that every letter in every Angelical word

should be pronounced alone! However, the convention appears often enough to give the

language a slightly “Middle English” flavor. In this way, the Angelical tongue would

have sounded “archaic” to Dee and Kelley - thus fulfilling the requirement for a magickal

language.

36

Guidelines for Angelical Pronunciation

Unto this Doctrine belongeth the perfect knowledge, and remembrance of the mystical Creatures.

How, therefore, shall I inform you, which know them not? [-The Angel Nalvage]

The previous essays on Middle and early-Modern English were necessary

foundations for understanding the pronunciation of Angelical words. This section draws

from the above, but the principles outlined here are specific rules for the pronunciation of

Angelical words and characters, based upon the phonetic notations left by Dee

throughout his journals.

In the following lessons, each Angelical word will be followed by its

pronunciation in parentheses (see the key appended to the Introduction to this course),

and then by the word in Angelical characters. Don't forget the Angelical characters run

from right to left.

VowelsPronouncing the vowels in the Angelical tongue does not present much of a

problem. A vowel will usually take its short sound when followed by a consonant in the

same syllable:

Lap (lap) - pal

Iad (yad) - dai

Malpurg (mal-purj) - grplam

Manin (man-in) - ninam

Panpir (pan-per) - ripnap

Zir (zer) - riz

However, when a vowel is attached to the preceding consonant (i.e.- it stands at the end

of its syllable), or when it stands alone in a syllable, it takes its long sound. (Dee’s

phonetic notes usually divide the words by syllables, thus indicating to which consonant-

if any- each vowel is attached.)

37

Momao (MOH-may-oh) oamom

Napeai (nay-pee-ay) yaepan

Paradial (pay-ray-DII-al) laidarap

ConsonantsOf course, it is the consonants that cause most students to stumble with Angelical

pronunciation. While they generally make the sounds we are familiar with, there are

several words that contain peculiar groupings of consonants that make little or no sense to

modern English readers. There are certain grammatical rules one must learn to make

sense of it all.

When two consonants are placed together, they can:

1) Make a diphthong as they would in present-day English (Ph, Ch, Th, Qu, etc):

The "Ph" in Dorpha (dor-fa) ahprod

The "Th" in Ethamz (ee-THAM-zohd) zmahte

The "Ch" in Chis (kiis) sihc

The "Ch" in Teloch (tee-LOCH) hcolet

The "Qu" in Norquasahi (nor-kway-SAY-hii) ihasaqron

2) Or they can make a new consonant sound as they would in present-day English (Gr, Tr,

Gn, etc):

The "Gr" in Grosb (grozb) bsorg

The "Tr" in Trian (TRII-an) nairt

The "Gn" in Gnay (nay) yang

3) However, if neither of the above apply then the “peculiar” consonant letter is

pronounced as a syllable unto itself, after the manner of Middle English. By “peculiar”, I

mean the consonant in the cluster that stands as the “odd man out.” For instance, in the

cluster “GSP” we find that the letters “SP” naturally form a sound together (as in spot or

speak). Meanwhile, the letters “GS” do not make a natural sound. Therefore, that “G” is

the peculiar one in the group- and it is pronounced by itself, in its own syllable. Here are

some examples in Angelical:

38

The "P" in Nazpsad (nayz-pee-sad) daspzan

The "M" in Farzm (farz-em) mzraf

The "Z" in Zchis (zohd-kiis) sihcz

In Angelical, a letter standing alone in a syllable is not pronounced phonetically.

To continue our above "GSP" example, the “G” would take neither its hard sound (“guh”-

as in game or good) or its soft sound (“juh”- as in giant or huge). Instead, one would

actually pronounce the letter’s name (sounding like “jee").

Let’s take a look at some further examples in Angelical. In each case, the peculiar

consonant stands alone as its own syllable:

Mapm (map-em) mpam

The final letters mp (“PM”) do not make a natural sound together. Therefore,

the m (M) is pronounced alone as “em.”

Lring (el-ring) gnirl

The initial letters rl (“LR”) do not combine naturally, so the l (L) is

pronounced by itself as “el.”

Zlida (zohd-lii-da) adilz

The initial letters lz (“ZL”) do not combine, therefore the z (Z) is pronounced

as “zohd.”

I admit it seems odd that Angelical consonants should sound like the names of

English letters. (After all, they have their own Angelical names!) However, notice that

long vowels also sound like their English names (long “A” = “ay”, long “E” = “ee”, long

“O” = “oh”, etc)- and remember that any Angelical vowel that stands alone in a syllable

takes the long sound. It would appear, then, that the same principal is applied to

Angelical consonants when they stand alone. That is to say, Angelical recognizes “long

consonants.” Just as a long Un (A) sounds like “ay”, so a long (or extended) Tal (M)

sounds like “em.”

39

While we are still on the subject of “long consonants”, I should mention that the

letter z Ceph (Z) sometimes takes its long sound for no apparent reason. For example,

the Angel Nalvage informed Dee and Kelley that the word Moz could be pronounced

“moz” or “moz-ohd.” The shorter pronunciation indicates “Joy”, while the pronunciation

with the extended “Z” (“zohd”) indicates “Joy of God.”

As we can see, there is no grammatical reason why the “Z” in Moz should be

extended. The same is true for the word Zacar (zay-kayr) - which appears in the 48 Keys

several times with the extended “Z“ (zohd-ay-kayr). My best guess is that this is not

based upon a grammatical rule at all. Perhaps, instead, it is merely a poetic (or lyrical)

gloss- after the manner in which a singer will elongate or add syllables to a word in a

song to fill metre or emphasize emotion. This is suggested by the difference between

“moz” as “Joy” and “moz-ohd” as “Joy of God.”

Special Cases

Another quirk of the letter z Ceph (Z), is that it is sometimes interchangeable

with x Pal (X). This is perhaps because “Z” was somewhat new in the Elizabethan era,

and “X” more usually served for the “Z” sound (as in xenophile or xylophone). We see

evidence of this in the Book of Loagaeth, where the Angelical letter-name Drux (N) is

given the alternate spelling of Druz in the margin.

The letter r Don (R) is another Angelical character of interest. When the letter

“R” becomes the peculiar consonant in a cluster, it is neither pronounced “ar” (the long

consonant sound) nor given its own syllable. Instead, it is merely pronounced “ur” (as in

our words turn or spur)- so that it combines with the consonant before it. For example:

Prdzar (purd-zar) razdrp

Prge (purj) grp

Dialprt (dii-al-purt) trplaid

There is one final special case I want to record here. In his journals, Dee

established that the word Baltle eltlab was pronounced “bal-tayl” (rhyming with

ball - tail). I found the pronunciation of the three-consonant cluster in the second

40

syllable- “TLE”- very odd. I decided to investigate further by searching for other words

ending in “LE”, and found the following words:

Bagle (BAY-gayl) elgab

Cicle (sii-kayl) elcic

Dee’s notes on these words are less than helpful, but I find it likely that each of these

words should end with the sound of “ayl” (as in our words pale or tail). In fact, I suspect

that any time we see el (“LE”) as the final two letters of a three-consonant cluster, they

will have the “ayl” sound.

Dee's Phonetic Glosses

It is vital to remember that Dee was not recording the words in Angelical

characters. Kelley spoke the language fluently while in his trance-state, and Dee merely

wrote what he heard in English letters. I have no doubt that many of the words recorded

by Dee are exact in their Angelical spelling- meaning we could take the English letters

and transliterate them directly into Angelical. However, there are many examples of

words that have “phonetic glosses.” This is what I call spelling “peculiarities” that

appear in different instances of the same word- which are apparently intended to give us

pronunciation cues.

Take, for example, the word Crip (But), which appears without the “I” in the

compound Crpl (But One). Therefore, the “I” should not likely represent an Angelical

character in this word- leaving only “Crp” (But). The shortest and most "radical" version

of the word should be the “correct” spelling. What we have in Crip is a phonetic gloss-

letting us know that “Crp” prc is pronounced “krip” rather than “kurp”

There is also the element “Purg” (Flames) - appearing in such words as Ialpurg

(Burning Flames) and Malpurg (Fiery Darts). Yet, these same words appear elsewhere as

Ialprg (Burning Flame) and Malprg (Through-thrusting Fire). Therefore, “Prg” and

“Purg” are likely the same word with the same Angelical spelling: grp The extra “U”

is merely a phonetic gloss, telling us where to place the vowel sound. Elsewhere, we can

even see the word Prge (Fire)- yet another phonetic gloss, adding the “E” to tell us the

“G” is a soft “juh” sound. All of these clues suggest the true pronunciation of the

Angelical word “Prg” is identical to our word “Purge.” However, the word is probably

41

spelled “Prg” (grp).

Compounds are not the only places we can look for phonetic glosses. Several

words that stand alone in the Keys appear more than once with different spellings. For

example, consider the word Abramig (Prepared). This word appears only once in this

form. Meanwhile, it appears in three other places in the Keys in the form of Abramg-

twice standing alone and once in a compound. Therefore, we might suspect that Abramg

(gmarba) is the radical spelling of this word. The extra “I” in Abramig merely tells

us where to place the vowel sound (“ay-bray-mig” rather than “ay-bram-jee”).

Another good example is the word NA – which appears in the Five Books… and

the Book of Loagaeth as a name of God. We might assume this word is pronounced

“nah” or “nay.” However, in the Keys we can find the same word written phonetically as

Enay (Lord). Thus, we know the proper pronunciation of NA is “en-ay,” and it should be

spelled with only two letters (an).

As further examples, we can compare the following words:

F (Visit) - Ef (Visit) - f

L (First) - El (First) - l

S (Fourth) - “Es” (Fourth) - s

The added “E” in each case is apparently a phonetic gloss- once again showing us

where to place the vowel sound in the pronunciation of the words.

I will not test you on Dee's phonetic glosses. It is only important that you know

about them. Throughout the rest of this course, you will notice that my Angelical

spellings are not always exact transliterations of the English-letter versions. These are

not spelling mistakes, but represent my work on these phonetic glosses.

DiphthongsI briefly covered diphthongs in the above lesson on Angelical consonants.

However, there are some special considerations concerning diphthongs when the words

are spelled in Angelical characters- relating to our above discussion about Dee's phonetic

glosses.

In ancient languages, diphthongs are usually indicated by a single letter. For

example, the Hebrew letter Peh represents the sounds of both “P” and “Ph.” The letter

42

Tau represents both “T” and “Th.” Likewise, there are several examples of this in

Angelical:

q ("Q") = "Qu" - Cnoqod (see-noh-kwod) - (Compare to Cnoquod)

p ("P") = "Ph" - Cormp (kormf) - (Compare to Cormf)

s ("S") = "Sh" - Lonsa (lon-sha) - (Compare to Lansh)

p ("P") = "Ph" - Noncp (non-sef) - (Compare to Noncf)

p ("P") = "Ph" - Sapa (say-fa)

c ("C") = "Ch" - Telocvovim (tee-loch-voh-vee-im) - (Compare to Teloch)

p ("P") = "Ph" - "Vonpo” (von-foh) - (Compare to Vonpho)

The above is fairly convincing evidence that Angelical diphthongs are indeed

represented by single letters. That would mean the secondary letters in these diphthongs

(the “h” in “Ph” and “Ch”; the “u” in “Qu”, etc) are merely phonetic glosses when the

words are spelled in English transliteration, but should not be included when the words

are spelled in Angelical characters.

However, there also exist counter-examples in Dee's journals. The very first word

of the Holy Book of Loagaeth (Table One, Side A) was originally recorded by Dee as

“Zuresk.” Later, Raphael corrected this by telling Dee the word must contain seven

letters- Zuresch. (The “Ch” taking its hard sound, as in our words “ache” or “chrome.”)

Because of this correction, we know the “Ch” diphthong is- in this case- actually written

with two letters instead of just one: hcseruz

If we continue to look through the first few lines of Loagaeth (which Raphael

spelled out in Angelical character by character), we find several further examples of two-

letter diphthongs as well.

Another good counter-example is the word Hoath (hohth) at the end of the First

Angelical Key. At that point, the Angel Nalvage was still transmitting the words letter by

letter. There, we can see undeniably, Nalvage transmitted both a “T” and an “H” for

Hoath. Therefore, once again, we can see an Angelical diphthong represented with two

letters as in modern English: htaoh

Thus, we are left with several examples of one-letter diphthongs and several

examples of two-letter diphthongs. That leaves us with a large number of two-letter

diphthongs in Dee's records that give no clue to their proper Angelical-character spelling.

43

Was Dee writing these words in transliteration (letter for letter) or phonetically? Where

no such clues exist, I tend to spell the words in Angelical characters just as Dee recorded

them in English. Yet, there remains some room for debate on the issue.

44

ExercisesThe following worksheets will focus upon the Angelical use of vowels,

consonants and "special cases" as discussed in the previous lesson. In each section, I will

provide several words spelled in Angelical characters (running right to left)- but also

hyphenated into their proper syllables. The student's task is to first transliterate the words

into English characters (running left to right). Then, looking at how the letters are

grouped into the syllables, attempt to decipher the proper pronunciations. (Use the

phonetic notations from the pronunciation key at the end of the "Principles of Angelical"

section of the Introduction. Then compare your answers against the alphabetical

vocabulary lists in later lessons.)

Vowels- ShortIn the following exercise, remember that vowels take their short sound when

English. Here, we will focus upon combined sounds (such as Tr, Gr, Gn, etc) and

diphthongs (Ph, Ch, Th, etc). I have only included double-letter diphthongs below, as

there are no established rules for when single-letter diphthongs should be used over the

double-letter type:

Consonants - "Long Consonants"For this exercise, remember that a consonant takes its "long sound" when it is the

"peculiar" letter in a cluster of consonants. (Meaning that it does not naturally combine

with the consonant before or after it.) In such cases, the peculiar consonant will stand

alone in its syllable:

m-zraf

sihc-zm-pam

gnir-lad-il-zz-maht-eagul-dp-nong

o-am-ip-ac-leg-sihc-g

help-som-q

48

Special CasesIn the following exercise, remember the letter "R" does not have a "long sound."

When it stands as the peculiar letter in a consonant cluster, one merely pronounces it as

"ur", and it does not stand alone in a syllable:

grp

trp-la-id

grc-ac

tslrq

az-rnz

Finally, remember that the letters "LE", when they are the last two letters of a

three-consonant cluster, will take a sound like "ayl" (rhyming with bail or pale):

Lesson Three: Angelical Root-Words

Therefore, now examine your Books, confer one place with another, and learn to be perfect for the

practice and entrance. [...] There is no other reading of the Book, but the appearing of the

Ministers and Creatures of God. Which shewing what they are themselves, shew how they are

conjoined in power, and represented formally by those letters. [The Archangel Gabriel]

My analysis of the Angelical tongue has revealed a number of simple root-words.

As I explained in the Principles of Angelical, these roots tend to be three or four letters

long, though there are some rare examples of one- or two-letter root words. Sometimes

these roots stand as words on their own, and sometimes they do not. Then, affixes can be

added to the roots to alter inflection or tense.

As I studied Dee's records, I found several Angelical words with dissimilar

spellings that turned out to have similar definitions. Compare the following words:

Londoh (Kingdom) hodnol

Adohi (Kingdom) ihoda

Both of these words translate as “Kingdom”- but they do not appear near one

another in a simple alphabetical listing. We can see, however, that they share the letters

“doh” – and this is likely an Angelical root word.

Conversely, I found that many words with similar spellings had dissimilar

definitions. This often highlighted relationships between concepts within the Language

that were not apparent at first glance. For instance, compare the spelling similarities

between these words:

Ors (Darkness) sro

Orsba (Drunken) absro

Orscor (Dryness) rocsro

Orscatbl (Buildings) lbtacsro

53

They all seem to share a common linguistic root, (Or or Ors) but they have

definitions that are considered unrelated in English. By contemplating how these

concepts might relate to one another, it can tell us something about how Angels “think.”

As an example of a root-word being modified with affixes, consider the Angelical

word I (Is) - which is the likely root of the word Ip (Not). By adding affixes, we obtain:

Ipam (Is Not) mapi

Ipamis (Can Not Be) simapi

An even more important root is Ia. This word doesnot stand as a word on its own

in the Keys, though it does appear several times in the Book of Loagaeth. However, it is

possibly the root of several other words- just a few of which are listed here as an

example:

Iad (God) dai

Iaiadix (Honor) xidaiay

Iaida (the Highest) adiag

Iaidon (All Powerful) nodiag

Further, the first word in the above list, Iad (God), appears to be the root element

of several additional words:

Geiad (Lord and Master) dageg

Iadnah (Knowledge) handay

Iadpil (To Him) lipdai

Ioiad (Him the Liveth Forever) dagog

Laiad (Secrets of Truth) daial

Below, I have included a list of all of the root words I have found through analysis

of the Lexicon. It is not intended as concrete or exhaustive. Some of the entries are

tentative at best, and I admit there could be any number of roots that I have missed or

failed to recognize.

Plus, I have included in this section only those roots that do not stand as words on

54

their own. There are other Angelical words that appear to be in their root form (such as

“Mal” or Ror) that do stand as words on their own. Such words can be found in my

Lexicon, but they do not appear in this introductory list.

Thus, we can see the work on Angelical root words has only begun- the tip of the

proverbial iceberg. However, I feel that learning these root concepts is essential to

understanding, and eventually expanding, the Angelical tongue. There will be no

exercises at the end of this lesson. The student need only study the following list and

become familiar with the root-words:

Lesson Four:Affixes

This is a very short and simple lesson. As we saw in previous lessons (and the

Principles of Angelical section), Angelical words are formed of simple root-words to

which different affixes are added to change tense and case. Unfortunately, we currently

know very little about Angelical affixes. No linguist has yet discovered a logical pattern

behind the spelling changes that modify the root-words.

In this lesson, I will simply share my own tentative discoveries. Due to a general

lack of evidence, there is nothing testable here.

There are some instances where the addition of “-o” (o-) to a word seems to add

the connotation “of”:

Caosg (Earth) - Caosgo (of the Earth)

Vonph (Wrath) - Vonpho (of Wrath)

Iad (God) - Oiad (of God)

However, this does not appear to be a set rule. First, the word “of” is extremely

rare in the Angelical. (Usually, it is simply implied by context.) Secondly, some words

appear with additional “-o” affixes without gaining the connotation “of.” Examples are:

Zol (Hands) - Ozol (Hands)

Zien (Hands) - Ozien (“my own” Hand)

Micalz (Mighty) - Micalzo (Mighty/Power)

Another likely affix is “-ax” (xa-), which may be an indicator of action similar

to our own suffix “-ing”:

Blior (Comfort) - Bliorax (Shalt Comfort)

Om (Know) - Omax (Knowest)

There are other verbs that end with the “-ax” suffix, but we have no examples of

60

the same words without the affix: Camliax (Spake), Tastax (Going Before). We might

possibly add Gizyax (Earthquakes) and Coraxo (Thunders of Judgement and Wrath) to

this list- they may be nouns by English standards, but they still indicate violently active

forces. Meanwhile, there are some “-ing clause” verbs in the Keys that do not appear

with the “-ax” suffix- such as Dluga (Giving Unto) or Panpir (Raining Down).

61

Lesson Five: Vocabulary 1 (Nouns)

[Adam] excepted, no man ever was, is, or shall be (excepted where I except) that ever shall

understand, have or know the least part (O it is incomprehensible!) of this vessel. He named all

things (which knew it) and they are so indeed, and shall be forever. [-The Archangel Raphael]

The lesson is the most intensive of the entire course. Below you will find 21 lists

of basic Angelical vocabulary. Only nouns from the 48 Keys are included. There are no

compound words, adjectives, pronouns, prepositions or conjunctions- as these will appear

in later lessons.

I suggest studying each of the following lists one at a time. On another sheet of

paper, write down the Angelical words and their "English senses." Then try writing only

the Angelical words and filling in the English from memory. Then try the opposite,

writing down only the English and filling in the Angelical from memory.

Lesson Seven: Vocabulary 3 (Adjectives and Adverbs)

I hope by this point you have a firm grasp of Angelical nouns and verbs- the two

indispensable pillars of language. From there, we build outward by adding adjectives and

adverbs to our vocabulary. These are the words that describe the nouns and verbs.

Angelical makes a limited use of these descriptors. As I discussed in the

Principals of Angelical section of the Introduction, most of the poetic adjectives we see in

the English translations are not implied in the essential definitions of the Angelical words.

Such as Orri (Barren Stone), Grosb (Bitter Sting) or Sapah (Mighty Sounds) – all of

which are nouns that show no linguistic indication of their adjectives. It would appear

that adjectives in such cases are left entirely up to the author, or reader, of the text.

Even still, we are left with a few useful Angelical descriptors. Some of them are

necessary possessive adjectives (her, his, thy, whose). They are used sparingly, and- as

we will see in the lesson on Compounds- they are often found compounded with their

nouns.

Non-possessive adjectives (that is, regular adjectives) are even more uncommon

in the Angelical text of the Keys. When they are used, they typically follow the rule of

English- falling immediately before the noun they indicate, and not usually compounded

with it.

Lesson Eight: Vocabulary 4 (Word Elements)

"Word elements" are the smaller words that make up compound words. For

instance, the two elements that make up the compound word "Doghouse" are "Dog" and

"House." There are many compound words in the 48 Keys. Some of them are formed of

words that appear alone elsewhere in the Keys. For example, consider the compound

Angelical word Dsabramg (which prepared). The elements of this word are Ds (which)

and Abramg (prepare)- both of which appear on their own elsewhere in the Keys.

On the other hand, some compounds contain word elements that appear nowhere

else in the Keys. For example, consider the compound Fbliard (Visit with Comfort).

Here the elements are F (visit) and "Bliard" (with Comfort). The word F appears

elsewhere in the Keys, but not the word "Bliard." Therefore, "Bliard" is a word element

that you won't find anywhere outside of this course and my Lexicon.

Because compounding words often alters their spelling (see the lesson on

Compounds), these new word elements are always suspect. That is, we can not be sure of

their proper spelling or usage. For this reason, I always surround such orphan word

elements with "quotation marks."

Searching out these “word elements” from the mass of known Angelical words

represents a significant expansion of our previous understanding of the language.

Though some uncertainty remains over their proper spellings, they still offer us a solid

foundation from which to explore the language deeper.

In that light, also keep in mind that many of these word elements may actually be

Angelical root words. I did not include them in the lesson on root words because of their

uncertainty. The student only needs to study the six following short lists, to become

familiar with these word elements. The elements will appear again in the lesson on

compound words.

next lesson. They are also marked with "parentheses."

Lesson Nine: Vocabulary 5 (Pronouns, Prepositions and Conjunctions)

PronounsPersonal pronouns (I, She, He, You) are used very infrequently in the Angelical

Keys- and it is difficult to say why they are used in the places we find them. Relative

pronouns (Whom, These, That) seem to be a bit more common, as they are not as easily

implied by context.

Study the following lists of pronouns before moving on to the next part of this

lesson:

Pronoun List 1 - A-D

Word Pronunciation English AngelicalAg (ag) No / None (No One) ga

“Agl” (ag-el) No One lga

Amiran (am-ir-an) Yourselves narima

Ar (ar) That ra

Asobam (ay-SOH-bam) (on) Whom mabosa

Asymp (ay-simp) Another pmysa

Bolp (bulp) (be) Thou plob

Casarm (kay-SARM) Whom mrasac

Casarma (kay-SAR-ma) Whom amrasac

Casarman (kay-SAR-man) Whom / (under) Whose namrasac

Casarmg (kay-SAR-mij) In Whom gmrasac

Casarmi (kay-SAR-mij) (under) Whom gmrasac

“Da” (dah) There ad

Ds (dee-es) Which / That sd

Dst (dee-es-tee) Which (also) tsd

89

Pronoun List 2 - I/Y-P

Word Pronunciation English Angelical”Yl” (yil) Thy ly

Yls (yils) Thou sly

Ol (ohl) I lo

Par (par) (in) Them rap

“Pi” (pii) She ip

Priaz (prii-AYZ) Those zairp

Priazi (prii-AY-zii) Those izairp

Symp (simp) Another pmys

“T” (tee) It t

Tiobl (tii-AHB-el) (within) Her lboit

Tox (toks) His/Him xot

Unal (yew-NAL) These lanu

Vomzarg (vom-sarj) Every One/All grazmou

90

PrepositionsEven more rare in Angelical is the use of prepositions (at, in, in, for). We already

know that there may be an affix to indicate “of” (o “-o”). There is also one instance of

the word De (of) that stands alone in the Keys. Prepositions certainly exist to some

extent in Angelical, but they are not often used unless context makes them unavoidable.

Below, you will find lists of Angelical prepositions. Study these one at a time

before moving on to the final part of this lesson:

Preposition List 1 - A-E

Word Pronunciation English AngelicalAai (ay-AY-ii) Amongst (you) iaa

Aaiom (ay-AY-om) Amongst (us) moiaa

Aaf (ay-AF) Amongst faa

Aao (ay-ay-OH) Amongst oaa

Aspt (aspt) Before, In Front tpsa

“Azia” (ay-ZII-ay) Like (unto) aiza

Cacrg (KAY-kurg) Until gcrac

De (dee) Of ed

Eai (ee-AY-ii) Amongst iae

Preposition List 2 - M-P

Word Pronunciation English AngelicalM (em) Except m

Mirc (mirk) Upon crim

Nothoa (noth-OH-a) Amidst aohton

Oai (oh-AY-ii) Amongst iao

Oq (oh-kwah) But/Except qo

Oroch (oh-ROK) Under hcoro

Orocha (oh-ROH-ka) Beneath ahcoro

Pambt (pamt) Unto (me) tbmap

Pugo (pug-oh) As Unto ogup

91

Preposition List 3 - T-V

Word Pronunciation English AngelicalTa (tay) As at

Tia (tii-a) Unto (us) ait

Vorsg (vorzh) Over (you) gsrou

Zomdux (zom-dooks) Amidst (– “encompassed by”) xudmoz

Zylna (zil-na) Within (itself) anlyz

ConjunctionsAngelical conjunctions seem to work similar to prepositions. They are fairly rare,

but are used where necessary. The main exception would be the word Od (and), which is

by far the most-used word in the Keys.

Lesson Ten: Vocabulary 6 (Compounds)

As I stated in the "Principles of Angelical" section of the Introduction, the

Angelical tongue mimics ancient languages in the way it compounds smaller root words

into larger, and more sophisticated, words. For example, the three words Zir (Am), Enay

(Lord) and Iad (God) are combined to form Zirenaiad (I am the Lord Your God).

riz + an + day = dayanriz

I have found that, most often, compounds are made between nouns or verbs and

the words that modify or indicate them. The following examples are an extremely small

sample of such modifier-compounds found throughout the 48 Keys. (Note that I have

placed the modifiers within each word in bold.) There are possessive adjective (his, her)

compounds:

Busdirtilb (Glory (of) Her) blitridsub

Elzaptilb (Her Course) blitpazl

Lonshitox (His Power) xotihsnol

Demonstrative and relative pronoun (which/that, this, those) compounds:

Arcoazior (That Increase) roizaocra

Artabas (That Govern) sabatra

Unalchis (These Are) sihclanu

Oisalman (This House) namlasio

Dsabramg (Which Prepared) gmarbasd

Dschis (Which Are) sihcsd

Dsi (Which Is) isd

Dsom (That Understand) mosd

Conjunction (and, or, but, as) compounds are very common:

93

Corsta (Such As) atsroc

Crpl (But One) lprc

Tablior (As Comforters) roilbat

Taviv (As the Second) uiuat

Odchis (And Are) sihcdo

Odmiam (And Continuance) maimdo

Odzamran (And Appear) narmazdo

Qmospleh (Or the Horns) helpsomq

Plus, compounds are regularly created from forms of the verb “to be” (is, are, were):

Chisholq (Are Measured) qlohsihc

Unalchis (These are) sihclanu

Gchisge (Are Not) egsihcg

Inoas (Are Become) saoni

Idlugam (Is Given) maguldi

Pageip (Rest Not) piegap

Odipuran (And Shall Not See) narupido

Zirenaiad (I Am the Lord God) daianriz

I have also found that compounding Angelical words often results in changes to

their spelling. For example, the word Dsonf (Which Reign) is a combination of Ds

(Which) and Sonf (Reign). However, notice that there is only one “S” found in Dsonf.

That is because Angelical combines duplicate letters when forming compounds.

Therefore, the final “S” of Ds and the first “S” of Sonf combine into one “S” in Dsonf.

Another example is the word Gmicalzoma (Power of Understanding). This is a

combination of Gmicalzo (Power) and Oma (Understanding). However, we can see that

the final “O” of Gmicalzo and the first “O” of Oma have been combined into a single

letter in the compound.

There are also several examples of completely inexplicable spelling changes when

compounds are formed. For instance, the word for “Day” in Angelical is Basgim, while

the compound word for “the First Midday” is Bazemlo (“Bazem” + “Lo”). The change

of the “S” to a “Z” is not surprising, because these letters represent a similar sound.

94

However, note how the “GI” of Basgim has disappeared entirely from the compound

Bazemlo. Therefore, we can guess that “Bas/Baz” is an Angelical root indicating

“daytime.” However, we cannot guess what rules apply to the spelling change between

Basgim and the “Bazem” element in Bazemlo.

It might be helpful to provide another example, so we will look at the word Soba

(Whose). In the compound Sobhaath (Whose Works), the spelling has altered to

“Sobha.” In the compound Sobolzar (Whose Courses), the spelling becomes “Sobo.”

Even more inexplicable, in the compound Solamian (Whose Continuence), the spelling is

altered to “Sola.”

Note: If you have studied the previous vocabulary lists, then the following 13

lists will present nothing you haven't already learned. The lists will mainly serve to

illustrate how Angelical compounds work. We can plainly see that compounds are

overwhelmingly formed of nouns/verbs and possessive adjectives, pronouns,

conjunctions and forms of "to be." There are fewer (though no less significant) examples

of nouns compounded with adjectives or verbs other than "to be." Also take note of the

spelling (and pronunciation) changes between the compound and its word-elements.

Lesson Eleven:Basic Phrases

By this point, you have hopefully gathered a functional Angelical vocabulary.

You should have plenty of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions,

conjunctions and even a working knowledge of how Angelical compounds are formed.

Now you only need to combine all of these parts of speech into phrases.

Fortunately, there is very little new to teach in this regard. Angelical phrases are

constructed according to the same rules you learned in grade-school English. (Dee

himself spoke early-Modern English, the grammatical rules of which were fairly identical

to present-day English.) Therefore, this lesson will be a simple one, intended mainly for

illustration. (There will be more practical tips for building Angelical phrases in the

lesson on Translating English to Angelical.)

Below, I will point out some basic points of Angelical phrases, and illustrate them

with passages from the 48 Keys:

A simple sentence contains three parts- a Subject, Verb and Object (or Predicate).

Consider the following simple phrases:

Subject Verb Predicate

Dazis ethamz achildao...

Their heads are covered with diamond...

Caosga, tabaord saanir.

The Earth, let her by her parts.

be governed

Casarmg gohia, zacar...

In whom we say, "Move..."

Complex sentences are formed by adding further clauses to the object. A "clause" is a

part of a sentence that makes sense by itself, because it contains its own verb. In the

following examples, I have placed the subordinate clause in bold:

106

Gchisge avavago cormp pd dsonf vivdiv?

Are not the Thunders of Increase numbered 33 which reign in the Second

Angle?

Zacam gmicalzo, sobhaath trian luiahe...

I move you in power and presence, whose works shall be a song of honor...

Bazemlo ita piripson oln nazavabh ox.

The midday the first is as the third Heaven made of hyacinth pillars 26.

Compound sentences are literally two separate sentences joined together with a

conjunction. I have used a "/" to separate the two parts of the following examples:

Oxiayal holdo / od zirom o coraxo ds zildar raasy...

The Mighty Seat groaned / and they were 5 Thunders which flew into the east...

Ds holq qaa nothoa zimz, / od commah ta nobloh zien.

Which measureth your garments in the midst of my vestures / and trussed you

together as the palms of my hands.

Sapah zimii duiv / od noas taqanis adroch...

The Mighty Sounds have entered into the third Angle / and are become as olives

in the olive mount...

Finally, we can classify any sentence into Statements, Commands or Questions. A

Statement is a sentence where the verb follows the noun:

Raas isalman paradiz...

The east is a house of virgins...

A Command is a sentence where the verb precedes the noun. Due to the nature of the

Keys, there are a great number of Commands found throughout them:

107

Zacar od zamran!

Move and show yourselves!

Odo cicle qaa.

Open the mysteries of your creation.

Angelical adjectives and adverbs, where they are used at all, work just as they do

in Modern English. Adjectives generally precede the noun, while adverbs generally

follow the verb. In the following, I have placed the adjective/noun and the verb/adverb in

bold:

...abraassa noncf [...] tilb adphaht damploz.

...provided you for [...] her unspeakable variety.

...ds iumd aqlo adohi moz.

...which is called in thy kingdom Joy.

...dluga vomzarg lonsa capmiali vors cla...

...giving unto every one of you power successively over 456...

...busdirtilb noaln paid orsba od dodrmni...

...the glory of her may be always drunken and vexed...

Finally, for possessive adjectives (his, her), pronouns (which, this, those), conjunctions

(and, as, but, or) and forms of the verb "to be", refer again to the lesson on Angelical Compounds.

Quite often, these parts of speech are compounded directly to the nouns they indicate.

There are no exercises for this lesson. Once you have a basic grasp of the

material, simply move on to the next lesson. As I said previously, there will be more

practical tips in the lesson on Translating English to Angelical.

108

Lesson Twelve: Advanced Vocabulary

In previous lessons, I have focused strictly upon words found in the 48 Angelical

Keys. However, Dee also recorded many further Angelical words in his journals-

including several words from the Book of Loagaeth, along with several words spoken by

the Angels in random spots throughout the records.

I consider these words to be advanced vocabulary. Remember in the Principals of

Angelical, where the Archangel Raphael explained that the language has "49 manner of

understandings." This could mean that there are 49 "dialects" within Angelical- and these

words could be from dialects other than what we see in the Keys. Even still, I do

consider these Angelical words.

In the following four lists, I have only included words for which Dee recorded

definitions. (There are several more that remain undefined. These are all included in my

Lexicon.) You will also note that several of the "English senses" are marked with a (?).

This indicates that the exact definition of the word is uncertain.

As before, simply study each list one at a time, and become familiar with these

advanced vocabulary words.

Lesson Thirteen: More Phrases

As described in the previous lesson, there are instances throughout Dee's journals

where the Angels slipped into their native tongue when speaking or praying. Dee was

usually good about stopping the Angel and asking for a translation of the foreign words,

and most of the time the Angel would oblige. This was wonderful, because it expanded

the Angelic language beyond what we see in the Book of Loagaeth or the 48 Angelical

Keys.

Unfortunately, the Angels rarely offered word-by-word translations for these

random phrases. Instead, the given definitions apply to the entire phrase collectively. In

my Lexicon I provide full references to locate these phrases in Dee's journals. For this

lesson, you only need to look over the following phrases and become familiar with them.

Gohed Ascha (joh-ED ask-a) ahcsa dehog

"One Everlasting God."

Lava Zuraah (lav-ah zur-AY-ah) haaruz aual

Use humility in Prayers to God, or Fervently Pray

Life Lephe Lurfando (liif leef-ay lur-fan-doh)

odnafrul ehpel efil

“A strong charge to the wicked to tell the truth.”

O remiges varpax (oh rem-ii-jes var-paks) xaprau segimer o

Come Lord (and) Have Mercy.

Vors Mabberan (vorz MAB-er-an) narebbam srou

What hast thou to do with us? (A challenge to prove one’s authority.)

Carma Geta (kar-ma jet-a) ateg amrac

Come out of there. (An exorcism.)

Lesson Fourteen: Translating English to Angelical

Based on my overall study of the language, I would like to offer some basic tips

on translating English texts into Angelical. I will use a sample text as an example

throughout this lesson. I suggest the student write a short text of their own to practice the

same steps. (A copy of my Lexicon is an immense aid to the following process.

However, it is not required for the following lesson.)

Step One: First of all, write out the text as it exists in English. We will use the

following invocation as our example:

O thou mighty Angels of the Celestial Spheres, hear this heartfelt invocation!

Bring down your power and your mercy, and lighten the whole Earth with your

wisdom! For this is a time that requireth gentle comfort! Open the mysteries of

your hidden speech, and bring deep understanding to the true worshipers of God!

We sing your praises unto the vast heavens, and perform the commandments of

the Most High! Move, therefore, and show yourselves! Be friendly unto me! For

I am a servant of the same your God, the true worshiper of the Highest.

Step Two: Mark out articles (such as “a”, “an”, “the”, etc). Articles do not exist

at all in Angelical. The word “of” is also unnecessary most of the time- though there

does exist an Angelical word for it (De), so it can be used if you feel it is unavoidable.

Below, we can see what our example text looks like after removing the articles:

O thou mighty Angels of ___ Celestial Spheres, hear this heartfelt invocation!

Bring down your power and your mercy, and lighten ___ whole Earth with your

wisdom! For this is ___ time that requireth gentle comfort! Open ___ mysteries

___ your hidden speech, and bring deep understanding to ___ true worshipers of

God! We sing your praises unto ___ vast heavens, and perform ___

commandments ___ ___ Most High! Move, therefore, and show yourselves! Be

friendly unto me! For I am ___ servant ___ ___ same your God, ___ true

worshiper ___ ___ Highest.

114

Step Three: Mark out most adjectives. You can check the word list in the

Adjectives and Adverbs Lesson to see if your adjective- or something similar- already

exists. If it does not, you can drop the adjective, and consider it implied in the Angelical.

As an example, if you want to translate the words “a bitter sting”, you would only need to

look up the word “sting.” There is no Angelical word for “bitter”, but that adjective is

implicit in the Angelical word Grosb (bitter Sting). The same word might translate as

“horrible sting”, “painful sting”, “poisonous sting”, etc. Here follows our example text,

with most of its adjectives removed:

O thou mighty Angels of Celestial Spheres, hear this ___ invocation! Bring down

your power and your mercy, and lighten ___ Earth with your wisdom! For this is

time that requireth ___ comfort! Open mysteries your hidden speech, and bring

___ understanding to ___ worshippers of God! We sing your praises unto ___

heavens, and perform commandmends Most High! Move, therefore, and show

yourselves! Be friendly unto me! For I am servant same your God, ___

worshipper Highest.

(In the above, I found an Angelical adjective for "mighty." I did not find one for

"hidden", but I found an acceptable replacement- "mystery" or "mysterious." Therefore, I

left these two adjectives in place. I also left all possessive adjectives- such as "your"-

because we have Angelical words for them.)

Step Four-A: Also remember that Angelical compounds are often formed

between nouns and the possessive adjectives (his, her, their), demonstrative and relative

pronouns (which/that, this, those), conjunctions (and, or, but, as) and forms of "to be" (is,

are, were) that indicate them. Therefore, try linking these words together in the English

text, and see if they form natural compounds in Angelical. In our example text, I have

used [brackets] to gather the nouns and their various indicators:

O thou mighty Angels of Celestial Spheres, hear [this invocation]! Bring down

your power [and mercy], [and lighten] Earth with your wisdom! For this [is time]

[that requireth] comfort! Open mysteries your hidden speech, [and bring]

115

understanding to worshipers of God! We sing your praises unto heavens, [and

perform] commandments Most High! Move, therefore, [and show yourselves]!

Be friendly unto me! For I am servant same your God, worshiper Highest.

(In the above, I have removed the possessive adjective "your" from the compound "and

your mercy." That allows the conjunction and noun to compound together directly. In

this case, the text, does not need "your" to make sense.)

Step Four-B: You can also take most noun- and verb-phrases and reduce them to

their basic concepts. For instance, consider the sentence “He was running swiftly.” The

verbal phrase “was running swiftly” might be represented sufficiently by the Angelical

for “To Run.” Thus “He was running swiftly” becomes “Tox parm.” Or, another

example: “The great sea of the western region” would be simply “Drilpa zumvi soboln.”

In the following, I have taken all of the above into account, and written out our

example text along with any Angelical words that can be directly translated. (This is

where my Lexicon's English to Angelical section comes in handy. I have marked the

problematic words with "---"):

O thou mighty Angels of Celestial Spheres, hear [this invocation]! Bring down

Yls micaolz --- de --- solpeth ["Oi" --- ]! Drix

your power [and mercy], [and lighten] Earth with your wisdom! For this

aqlo lansh [od rit], [od --- ] caosg --- aqlo iadnah! Lap "oi"

[is time] [that requireth] comfort! Open mysteries your hidden speech,

[I cocasb] [ar unig ] blior! Odo cicle aqlo --- ---

[and bring] understanding to worshipers of God! We sing your praises unto

116

[and show yourselves]! Be friendly unto me! For I am servant same your God,

[od zamran ]! Zorge! Lap zirdo noco mad,

worshiper Highest.

hoath Iaida.

Step Five: If you've written something for which there is no (current) Angelical

translation, try re-wording your text. Endeavor to say the same thing in a different way,

and see if the Angelical exists for such alternate wording. (A thesaurus can be a big help

in this regard.) At the same time, you can browse through my Lexicon's "English to

Angelical" section for alternate words that fit your intent. In our example text, I have

made necessary changes to the wording:

O thou mighty Thunders of firmaments, hear [this prayer]! Bring down

Yls micaolz Sapah de calz solpeth ["Oi" zuraah]! Drix

your power [and mercy], [and lift-up] Earth (with) your wisdom! For this

aqlo lansh [od rit], [od goholor] caosg aqlo iadnah! Lap "Oi"

[is time] [that requireth] comfort! Open your mysterious voicings,

[I cocasb] [ar unig] blior! Odo aqlo cicle faaip

[and bring] understanding to worshipers of God! (We) sing your praises unto

[od yolci] om pambt hoath Oiad! Oecrimi pambt

heavens, [and perform] covenant of our Lord and Master! Move, therefore,

madriiax, [od fisis] sibsi Geiad! Zacar, ca,

[and show yourselves]! Be friendly unto me! For I am servant same your God,

[od zamran]! Zorge! Lap zirdo noco mad,

117

worshiper Highest.

hoath Iaida.

Completion: Now the text is ready for the final translation into Angelical. Let us

take a look at the result:

O thou mighty Thunders of the Celestial Firmaments,

hear this prayer!

Bring down your power and your mercy,

and uplift the whole Earth with your wisdom!

For this is a time that requireth gentle comfort!

Open your mysterious voicings,

and bring deep understanding to the true worshipers of God!

We sing your praises unto the vast heavens,

and perform the covenant of our Lord and Master!

Move, therefore, and show yourselves! Be friendly unto me!

For I am a servant of the same your God, the true worshiper of the Highest.

Thank you very much for taking this beginner's course in Dee's "Celestial

Speech." If you have followed the lessons one by one, practiced the exercises and written

the word lists several times, then you are among very few with such a thorough

understanding of the Tongue of Angels. If you would like to expand your understanding

of its history and practical application, you may visit the links below. Also see the

following presentation of The Angelical Language Vols I and II: The History, Mythology

and an Encyclopedic Lexicon of the Tongue of Angels.

The Angelical Language Vols I & II:The History, Mythology and an

Encyclopedic Lexicon of the Tongue of Angels

Dr. John Dee- famous Renaissance alchemist and advisor to Queen Elizabeth I- left behind several journals describing his conversations with Angels. With the help of his friend and medium, Sir Edward Kelley, the Angels delivered long sermons, magickal secrets and several texts containing the Tongue of the Angels themselves.

~ Sacred Language of the West ~

The Angelical Language Vol I:The History and Mythology of the Tongue of Angels

Explores the reception of the language by Dee and Kelley, and the Biblical mythology behind the language as related to them by the Angels. This book begins with an exploration of the mystical traditions that influenced Dee's work, and continues with an in-depth study of the 49 Tables of Loagaeth (Speech From God), the 48 Angelical Keys (or Callings) and the unfolding saga surrounding them in Dee's journals. Special added features include an analysis of the English Poetry (translations) of the 48 Keys, instructions for the magickal use of Angelical characters and a complete Angelical Psalter.

The Angelical Language Vol II:An Encyclopedic Lexicon of the Tongue of Angels

An exhaustive analysis of the Celestial Speech recorded by Dee. This new work is not just another "Enochian Dictionary." The Angelical Lexicon includes every word from the 48 Keys, all defined or related words from the Book of Loagaeth and every random Angelical word or phrase found throughout Dee's lengthy journals. Not only that, but all of the words have been analyzed and cross-compared to discover hidden word-elements and root-words - all of which are found in this book.

Every entry in the Lexicon includes:

• The word in English and Angelical characters.

• Its "English sense" (definition).

• Its location (cross-reference numbers for words from the Keys, page-references to Dee's published journals for all other words).

• Comparisons to every related Angelical word.

• Notes about the word's definition, history or useage- both Dee's original marginal notations and new commentary.

• Dee also left phonetic notations for most of the words he recorded. For centuries

120

these notes have been a source of confusion for scholars. In this new work, Dee's notations are deciphered at last! All of his pronunciation notes are included and fully explained. (A new pronunciation key has been invented to make reading the words much easier for the modern English speaker.)

As added features, Vol II also includes an Angelical Keys Cross-Reference (containing a fully corrected version of the 48 Keys, cross-referenced by number), an in-depth analysis of Angelical Linguistics and a lengthy English to Angelical section (including tips for translating English texts into proper Angelical).

The material in The Angelical Language: Vols I and II is based strictly upon Dee's journals and personal grimoire. There are no inclusions from later mystics or organizations. This is the Angelical language in its purist form.
