The Angelic Alphabet

The Angelic Alphabet is the script associated with John Dee and Edward Kelley’s Enochian revelations, used to record names, calls, and magical text. Its historical significance lies in its role as one of the most distinctive symbolic systems in Renaissance magic, and readers will find the letters, forms, transliterations, and references to their use in angelic communication.

Edward Kelley (1555–1597/8) was an English alchemist, scryer, and associate of John Dee, with whom he participated in the famous Dee-Kelley angelic conversations. He became a significant figure in the history of Renaissance magic, alchemy, and esoteric speculation through the records and later influence of those sessions.
