More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Enochian magic is a powerful, ancient system for opening portals to heavenly realms and enabling the ascent to God. The basis for many of the modern systems of magic, including the Golden Dawn, Enochian magic is named after the biblical prophet Enoch, who received the same knowledge and wisdom that was later conveyed to the astrologer to the court of Queen Elizabeth I, Dr. John Dee, by angels in the 16th century.In THE LOST ART OF ENOCHIAN MAGIC John DeSalvo traces the history of magic - from the earliest civilisations of the Akadians and Egyptians through the Greco-Roman period and up to the present time - to reveal how magic has penetrated and influenced our religious beliefs and practices today. Through his unprecedented investigation into the angelic magic of Dr. John Dee, during which time he deciphered Dee's original phonetic notations in the margins of Dee's 16th-century diaries, DeSalvo learned to properly reproduce the 'Enochian calls' which act like mantras in opening higher realms and invoking angels, key to this type of magical practice. DeSalvo shows how to use Enochian magic for personal spiritual development and also as protection from negative energies. In addition to providing detailed instructions for performing the magical meditations, this book includes a CD of Enochian calls to demonstrate and guide the correct pronunciation needed to practice Enochian magic.

Never heard of Dr John Dee or Enochian Magic but after hearing Dr DeSalvo on Jeff Rense by accident I had to get the book. The Lost art is a brilliant introduction for a Novice looking to widen their spiritual experience. Enoch walked with God and pleased him well. During my first Enochian meditation I was shocked to see two spiritual beings appear briefly and gave me the sense that they were curious that someone was repeating their calls. I am so excited by this book and look forward to exploring the 30 realms of heaven just as Aleister Crowley did. Thank you for bringing this lost art and material into the light.

This was just up my street & I found it easy enough to understand, but there is a part in the book, that calls for the CD with Audio Information that I needed, but unfortunately there is NO provision for this when you download the book onto a Kindle, so will probably have to buy the 'Physical' book now to find out what I was missing.

It is OK, once you get to the meat...
6 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book's best part is its chapter on the "Enochian Meditation" which is somewhat innovative and very interesting. To get to this chapter, though, people familiar with Dee and Enochian have to suffer through several chapters of introductory material that is pretty redundant unless you are a complete beginner on the subject. For this reason the book, while a good one, was a disappointment to me because there was very little presented that was new. Even the meditation followed theories similar to those I had developed in the course of study for this magic -- though the book presented a more coherent and organized meditation than any I had come up with.
Regardless of my own disappointments, I believe that this book is worth getting. The author does have some interesting insights into the magic which are worth examining, and the meditation presented is definitely worth studying and adding to anyone's magical practices. Just don't let your expectations get too high.

An excellent intro book
6 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent beginning book for Enochian magic. The focus is quite narrow, covering only the 30 aethyrs, but does it very well. There is more historical context than most other books and he is sympathetic to Edward Kelly. The exposition is lucid and kept to the essentials. Of possible interest to more advanced practitioners is his take on the pronunciation. My complaint about the book is the CD, hence the four stars. Inexplicably DeSalvo begins his reading of the nineteenth call on the sixth line of the book text. And his cadence reminds me of someone reading a list of names at a roll call. This may just be his way of making the pronunciation as clear as possible. Other than that I was quite satisfied. Highly recommended.

Getting Started With Enochian Magic
8 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
First of all, a bit of information. The accompanying CD is missing part of the Enochian calls. However, the reader will find the entire Enochian call on audio (for free download) at De Salvo's website dedicated to the book. The name of that website is: myangelmagic.
I gave the book 5 Stars, because it provides a good historical background, and very detailed explanations of a simple Enochian ritual in which no specialized equipment is used. This is quite a boon for the would-be magician, as the props used in other Enochian rituals either necessitate that you be a good carpenter/artist or that you make considerable expenditure to obtain such items. That said, I would have liked De Salvo to explain further why he thinks this particular Invocation can forgo such furnishings. After all, according to the book, the angels told Dee and Kelly they would need a holy table, the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, Ensigns of Creation talismans, breastplate, magic ring and emblems.
De Salvo advises that these exercises be used to get closer to God, rather than as a tool for obtaining earthly desires. However where do you draw the line between the spiritual and the profane in this matter? Surely, one can understand the problems that arise when spiritual tools are put to the service of the ego and its cravings. However, what about helping the ill? De Salvo believes that it should not be used even in that case; however, didn't Jesus and the Apostles heal the sick? Of course, such works should always be prefaced by, "Let Thy will be done".
What to make of working exclusively with the Aethyrs and not the Elementals, as De Salvo does in this work? I am a novice at magic and cannot speak with any authority, however, questions do come to mind in this regard. Much has been written about the need to integrate the Shadow,lest one fall prey to it. Does this have some application to magical work? Do these estranged entities, dubbed evil, grow more evil due to our unwillingness to encounter them (or when we do to use them for our own purposes)? I don't know the answer to this question, but would like to hear from others more seasoned than I on the subject.
