Liber Resh vel Helios sub figura CC in Enochian (Angellic)
-
Well the idea began when I read Long Milo DuQuette's "Enochian Vision Magick..." What helped me with the bulk of the work were the Enochian translators I found online. But things kept happening while I was working on it; for instance the main one I was using at tikaboo.com would keep going under construction, and that made me think that the translations might be wrong, so then I went to doing it manually using enochian.info and "The Complete Enochian Dictionary..." by Donald Laycock.

I would consult the original texts i.e. the diaries of Dr Dee himself. Most writings on the so called Enochian System of Magick are rather idiosyncratic. In fact, much of the material in many enochian "dictionaries" has been "received" by people who are actually doing something quite different from Dee himself, so I would not take their results for granted.
I would caution against using these invocations as you yourself did not translate them with your own knowledge. In no way am I saying anything about your own magical abilities, but Enochian Magick is the work of Adepts and even if you are not of such a grade they will treat you thusly. (I learned that the hard way.) If you are not familiar with the GD approach to the Enochian System I recommend reading very carefully Israel Regardie's The Golden Dawn.

I certainly see what you're saying, but I suppose I should add that in the course of attempting this translation, I feel that I have now gained at least a novice working knowledge of the language in both speech and writing. Correctly so though, that I am neither an adept, nor did I use a proper working knowledge from my own mind to do the translation (instead relying on the tools at hand). So perhaps I should have started by getting to the working level of the language that I am now, and then attempted to do a translation?

If you feel that you must work on enochian here is a check list to follow:
You have memorized the tables of 777.
Memorize the Enochian Alphabet.
Mastered all the basic rituals of Liber O.
Paint your own Tablets.
I would recommend learning the Opening by Watchtower and have successfully performed the rite at least 50 times. (This should take at least a year doing the ritual once a week.)
Or learn the Temple Opening from Liber Chanokh and have performed it for as long as I have suggested with the Opening by Watchtower.
Memorize the First Key in english and enochian and use it in place of the Portal Key once you have memorized that and had successful invocations.
Have some level of K&C. i.e. Success in Liber Samekh.THEN...
Start having fun with some very serious angelic initiators.

There is nothing wrong with experimentation of the sort you describe, but as the TheSilent1 says, it is important to master the preliminaries before one works the potent Enochian energies--or even the language for that matter.

I've written some enochian translation software. The hard disks I use to write it on have a shockingly short lifespan!

There are a number of errors in the enochian on that site (the calls are really bad). Go with Laycock's translations

Caution in these things doesn't often go awry. I'd also add that it shouldn't be attempted til you've a good deal of maturity about you, say, 30 years or more?
My analogy is that the Great Work is a mountain, and there are many paths to climb it. Some meander here and there, some go only a little way up then enjoy the view. The Enochian Aethyrs are freeclimbing the sheer northern face. It's potent, but the penalties for screwing up are bigger, and there are few safety mechanisms. Enochian Angels can seem very alien to the human consciousness.

Thank you all for your warnings and concern, and insights. As always I'm privelaged and thankful to be part of this community.
I did just turn 31 this summer actually (June 20th)....Despite repeated attempts however, I have not successfully found anyone here in the northern midwest that has experience in these matters, which is too bad, as I hoped to find an experienced practitioner to work with.
Well there is the Leaping Laughter Lodge of the O.T.O. in Minneapolis, but ah...well. yes, nuff said.

Ya there are preliminaries one should get past, cautions and what not, along with a good studie knowledge of the subject of Enochian before ones attempts it. But I think as long as you have some basis in magick, and not completely new, I dont see the harm. I've only done like one rite in enochian before, but nothing came out and bit me lol.
