What is Enochian?
An overview of the historical material, the people associated with it and the difference between tradition and linguistic evidence.
John Dee and Edward Kelley
The Enochian material is associated with the records of English scholar John Dee and scryer Edward Kelley. Their journals describe a series of communications that included words, tables, letter forms and longer texts.
Historical claim and modern interpretation
Dee and Kelley regarded the material as angelic. Modern readers approach it in several ways: as religious or occult material, as a constructed language, as glossolalia, or as an unusual historical linguistic artifact.
How this website approaches it
This site treats historical claims respectfully while separating attested vocabulary from modern reconstruction and transliteration. It is intended as a practical reference, not as proof of supernatural origin.
How to evaluate an Enochian claim
Check whether a word appears in a named source, whether the spelling is stable, and whether the proposed meaning is a direct gloss or a later interpretation. Be cautious when a modern sentence is presented without a word-by-word explanation.
