Something about the role of Elias Ashmole collecting and disseminating Dee's work should be added.
Does anyone have any additional information about the BOTA and SOL stances against Enochian? 76.16.34.223 17:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm planning on making some large scale additions to this article over the next few weeks. Currently, my sources are going to be:
- - -
Liber LXXXIV vel Chanokh by Aleister Crowley
Vision and the Voice by Aleister Crowley
Enochian Magic Reference by Benjamin Rowe
Enochian World of Aleister Crowley by A. Crowley, L.M. Duquette, C.S. Hyatt
Complete Golden Dawn Magical System by Israel Regardie
Dee & Kelly's Enochian manuscripts (many various editions and editors)
- - -
These are all critical texts regarding the system of Enochian magic. However, I am not currently aware of any reference sources that discuss biographical or historical information in depth. All the above texts have, necessarily, some biographical or historical facet but lack the necessary academic distance from the subject to make those facets unshakably reliable.
- - -
Any suggestions to additional texts would be appreciated. Otherwise, expect to see an article outline posted for discussion with in a week or two. --Bopgun23 06:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

80.42.154.240 17:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC) This entire Wiki entry needs to be re-written. The total lack of citation and referencing is disappointing. There are a number of texts available which do approach the subject from a more academic angle, specifically G.E. Szonyi's 'John Dee's Occultism, Nicholas H. Clulee's 'John Dee's Magical Philosophy' and Edward Fenton's comprehensive foot notes in his 'The Diaries of John Dee'. All offer a more balanced point of view that any of the above named sources.
[edit] Rewrte In Process
I am currently in the process of completely rewriting this article (although i will use any cited sources in the current article that seem useful of course). there seems to be a lot o support for a rewrite (if you disagree please let me know, i dont want to do it if everyone opposes it). Right now im just at the point where im collecting facts that i will use to create the article. If you have any points of fact you think might be useful for this article please contribute it here: User:Debeo_Morium/Enochian_Notes. Dont worry about NPOV or any of the typical wiki rules when contributing to my notes. Its only a place to collect relevant facts. It will all be dismantled as i move it into the final article. In the mean time feel free to contribute your input to this effort either here, on my talk page, or at any one of my drafts in User:Debeo_Morium#Works_In_Progressmy userpage. - Debeo Morium: to be morally bound (Talk | Contribs) 00:28, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
