Enochian Magic and the Higher Worlds: Beyond the Realm of the Angels

PREFACE

I’ve been studying and researching the paranormal for over forty years, ever since I was in junior high school. I am also a scientist and, as such, I try to look at the world in an objective, scientific, and analytical manner. Too many people today accept everything they hear unconditionally and without questioning it if it sounds cool or unusual and is what they want to believe.

I am sharing my thoughts with you in this way at the beginning of this book because after all these years of research, and after writing seven books on mysteries, magic, and the paranormal, my conclusions have continued to change and evolve. As regards this I would like to share with you a favorite quote from Andrew Jackson Davis, the nineteenth-century clairvoyant, whom I wrote a book about.¹ I do not promise to believe tomorrow exactly what I believe today, and I do not believe today exactly what I believed yesterday. I expect to make, as I have made, some honest progress within every succeeding twenty-four hours.²

After all of my ongoing research into the paranormal, I do acknowledge the validity of the occult and the magical realms. In this book I will share my techniques of accessing these magical worlds with you and will report my research findings as honestly and clearly as I can, which is what a true scientist does. If I have made errors in judgments or conclusions, I apologize. The peer review process has been criticized by many, but if done objectively and with an open mind (which is not usually the case in today’s academic and scientific circles), it’s a valuable tool and a way to validate and confirm one’s hypotheses. I leave it to my readers to perform peer evaluation of my statements, research, and conclusions.

This book is intended for the average person who may know nothing about magic and wants to give it a try. It’s complete in and of itself—for those readers wanting to experiment with magic, no prior experience is necessary. If, however, after reading it, you desire additional information about the magic of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley, which I focus on in this book, I would suggest that you read my previous books on the subject. I have tried to make Enochian Magic and the Higher Worlds as user friendly as possible and, in these pages, present a new magical discovery and technique that I believe to be the most effective and easiest one that I have developed thus far to date.

INTRODUCTION

Angels, angels, angels—everyone today is talking about angels! There are numerous books on how to contact an angel, how to find your guardian angel, how to perform angelic magic, and even books on angel love. Go into any metaphysical bookstore and you can probably find dozens and dozens of new books on angels. Or turn on the History Channel, where you will find many specials and documentaries about them. These programs ask such questions as: Did angels contact us in our distant past? Are angels guiding us and giving us hidden knowledge? Are angels extraterrestrials, from another dimension or realm, or even time travelers? Are they controlling us or manipulating us with some hidden agenda?

Many years of my life have been devoted to studying and researching magic and angelic communications; this includes material from scholarly and academic sources. I am also a practicing magician and have used magical techniques of the past—and have developed new ones as well—to contact angels and enter the higher realms successfully. Whereas many magicians and angel researchers of today are either theoretical or practical in their approach, I am both. I also am a trained scientist—a biophysicist—and as such I use the scientific method and the analytical approach in my research. My last two books on magic dealt with the angelic communications between the famous sixteenth-century mathematician and occultist, Dr. John Dee, and his scryer Edward Kelley.¹ This is the world of Enochian Magic.

Before we begin our journey into this esoteric world, however, I would like to digress for a moment to tell you how my interest in magic began. As a biophysicist I am frequently asked how I got from biophysics to magic! Here is the answer.

Dr. John Dee

Since childhood I was drawn to the occult, being especially fascinated with the existence of ghosts. I grew up in a nineteenth-century house in the state of New York, and in this house I frequently felt the presence of ghosts. On a few occasions I believe that I actually saw one, which scared the heck out of me! Whether they were real or imaginary, the experiences left a lasting impression on me, even though I didn’t get the sense that these beings were malicious or evil. I would feel their presence most strongly in the basement; it would have made a great haunted house.

I’m from a large Italian family, and often relatives and friends would stay with us for prolonged periods of time. I never actually compared notes with any of them about ghosts at our house until approximately ten years ago. It was then that I discovered that these visitors had had some of the same ghostly experiences that I’d had. I don’t know if my ghostly sightings cultivated my curiosity or not, but soon thereafter I noticed that I was increasingly drawn to cemeteries. There was one between my house and my school, and on nice days I would walk through it on my way home. In the cemetery I felt the presence of those who had passed on, and as a result I was always careful not to step on any graves. Typically I would be in the cemetery as the sun was setting. I would frequently stop and pray over a grave that I felt needed some prayers. When my family and I visited my cousins in Charleston, South Carolina, we would often spend time walking through old cemeteries and historic mausoleums in the older parts of that city. I also loved antique stores, which was a bit unusual for a boy my age. If, in a used bookstore, I found a book about ghosts, the unknown, aliens, or UFOs, and I had the money to buy it, the book would go home with me.

When I was a teenager I was drawn to UFOs, and together with my best friend of the time, we cataloged every UFO sighting that made headlines. This is what many UFO reporting organizations do today, but this was the early 1960s, and I think it’s safe to say that my friend and I were a little ahead of our time. There was a well-known UFO sighting in Michigan in 1966, which many people attributed to the effects of swamp gas. My friend and I weren’t satisfied with this explanation and considered taking a bus to Michigan to investigate for ourselves; that’s how serious we were about this!

I remember that we subscribed to Fate magazine, which the famous Ray Palmer edited.*1 I wrote to Mr. Palmer and received personal replies, which I wish I still had. In one letter I asked him what the fourth dimension was. I also was curious about the dimension of death, and I had questions about aliens as well. I don’t remember his responses but I was impressed that he would take the time to answer a high school student about these things. Maybe he was impressed that someone my age was writing him.

During my senior year of high school, I took senior English as a required course. The teacher was interested in Eastern philosophy, Zen, and existentialism and spent a good deal of the course discussing these. Boy, was I turned on to this! Not only did I read the required books, I supplemented them with many others on the topic of Eastern philosophy. I always stayed after school to ask this teacher about other resources and references on the same subject and to ask him myriad questions that I had.

This course and my interaction with this teacher began to expand my awareness of the notion of cosmic consciousness, which I had an experience of when I was about seven years old. I had been outside, on the grounds of the old house I grew up in, and looking up at the sky, I felt that I was One with everything. I can still recall that feeling today even though it didn’t last long. I remember asking my father shortly afterward something along the lines of: Dad, have you ever felt that you were God? Perhaps the way that I phrased this question might lead some people to believe I had a big ego and thought I was God, but anyone who’s had a similar experience may understand what I mean. The feeling I had was one of merging into infinity, into the presence of that which encompasses everything. Words can’t adequately describe this state, but still we attempt to articulate it. Often poetry comes the closest—but it still falls short.

I wonder how many children have experienced this sensation? It would appear that our culture doesn’t know how to acknowledge these spiritual experiences and further cultivate them so that a child’s spiritual consciousness can develop in a very natural way. Too frequently these experiences are chalked up to being merely the by-products of an overactive imagination. This is unfortunate, for I believe that a normal drive of every human being is to find his true self—that spark of God within. Once this has been experienced, you never forget it, and all through life, on some level, you may find yourself seeking your true home again.

Throughout my undergraduate years at a very demanding science and engineering college, I passively pursued these spiritual interests. But one day I decided to take a physiological psychology course as an elective after having heard from my fellow students that this class covered a lot of weird things. One of the guest lecturers was Jack Forem, who had authored one of the first major books on Transcendental Meditation (TM) and who, together with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, had helped to bring TM to the United States.

Forem was a very humble and kind person, and during his lecture he summarized the scientific research on TM that had just been completed at Harvard Medical School and which appeared in Scientific American magazine. The data was very impressive, but it wouldn’t be until many years later, when I was in graduate school, that I would actually experience TM for myself. At that time I signed up for and took an official TM course. At graduate school, in addition to exploring TM, I applied myself to the study of astrology, Eastern religion, astral projection (which I believed I was able to do), and all kinds of various metaphysical disciplines. I was even a follower of the teachings of Meher Baba,² the Indian spiritual master. One of my fellow graduate students at Johns Hopkins was Persian and a follower of Meher Baba; this friend also introduced me to Sufism.

When I started teaching college biology, I met people who were interested in the occult. We formed a group and explored our collective interest via discussion, lectures, through the practice of rituals, and by experimenting with different types of psychic phenomena. The person who ran our group was a well-known psychic medium and she and I became very close friends. Since that time, I’ve purchased innumerable books on how to develop your psychic ability, astral projection, and scrying—among a variety of other related topics.

In my previous books I discuss the fact that, despite my keen interest in and practice of different esoteric techniques, nothing really seemed to work until I tried Enochian Magic, the form of magic that the angels gave to Dr. John Dee and his scryer, Edward Kelley,*2 in sixteenth-century England.

I spent many years studying the handwritten diaries of Dr. John Dee before I wrote my books on Enochian Magic and eventually developed the new technique of Enochian Meditation, which is a simpler and purer form of Enochian Magic. The technique of Enochian Magic that most magical groups teach and practice is, in my opinion, their own invention and not from the angels. They have taken basic information that Dee and Kelley received from the angels and added much fluff and superficial materials that the angels never intended it to have. Some have even distorted the original material. I went back to the basic angelic information and only incorporated a way to use it in a simple meditation.

But here’s the catch: The Enochian Magic information that the angels gave to Dee and Kelley is either incomplete, or if complete, the angels never told them how to use it. So you may ask, Does Enochian Magic work at all? To this I would reply that it works to a limited degree, and this is so because we are only able to tap some, not all, of the original energy that the angels conveyed.

In making sense of this, it’s helpful to use the analogy of a large waterfall like Niagara Falls, which is so enormous and its force so strong that it has spray coming off of its sides. In trying to tap the energy of the falls, while one may not be able to tap the primary energy of the waterfall itself, one can tap the secondary spray coming off of its sides. This peripheral energy is what most magical groups have extracted from the angelic material
