“ There is no better drama than Angelic drama “ - excellent quote! Thoroughly enjoyed this .

The field of computational linguistics you described seems like it could be an excellent avenue for my own academic path. I'm really interested in the semiotic differences and similarities between how spoken languages and programming languages operate. I feel as if a more generalized, less mechanically oriented, study of programming languages could bring us to an understanding of what "magical" languages throughout history have been designed to accomplish within the hardware of the human brain.

“Rainbow magic wand combo breaker” has me cackling in my office

Your humour and indepth knowledge is what makes you a powerful teacher, Dr Sledge!! glad to see your subscribers are growing!! love your content. Your observation about the theme of Dee and Kelley's questioning ("treasure") and the angels trying to steer them correctly, reminds of reading casteneda describing himself writing incessantly while don juan made fun of his obsession with scribbling, but the irony that we have detailed capturing of what was said at his loss of understanding at the time... ty for your videos, they are excellent

“A pioneer in the swinger scene” under the pic of Edward Kelley is hilarious.

These guys are like the Beavis and Butthead of the 16th century. Someone should make a comedy movie about their misadventures.

I guess you could say, Dee and Kelley were Livin' The Liber Loagaeth...

You are one of my new favorite teachers. Probably the only person on earth that can articulate material like this on a level that can cross cultural boundaries and crack some pretty thick ice using intellecutal humor. Thank you for your work.

The experience of Kelly that you describe is NOT creepy. I had a similar experience. It was, at once, both literally awe-some and deeply uncomfortable. There was a massive headache in a certain place in my head, and an internal light that was as if staring at a thousand suns collected in one place. Then I was brought within and saw a Divine Form. It is not my place to interfere with anyone's path, so I will end the direct encounter there. Two notes - I was not the only one in the room at the time. My wife also had the same headache in the same place in the head. She also saw the light I mentioned. She was not permitted within, as I was. For us both, it was a profound experience, difficult to fully describe. Neither of us suffered any ill effects afterward. Even still, it took about 6 hours for the discomfort to leave fully. The point in telling this experience is to say that the effects were preceeded by a kind of rewiring of the circuitry, so nothing would be burnt out. It was a kindness.

The works givin to them from the angels is a treasure...and being 'buried' means that it is hidden or secret. So the angels were giving them what they thought Dee and Kelly were looking for, but it's not quite what the two wanted. Unless of course, Dee and Kelly both had different ideas of what 'treasure' really was

Demons are REAL. They generate stress, anxiety, anger and darkness. God and his Angels always are warm, calm, reassuring, LOVING and Brutally Honest since they know ALL our secrets.

Yes, these two were an awful though incredibly interesting influence on each other, it seemed almost inevitable that things would degenerate into an alchemical fear and loathing in central Europe. It's amazing that what is usually a fairly serious subject has such an element of farce with this gruesome twosome, I don't think you missed a single instance of this, very well done. Most people in Dee's position would have perhaps said the banishment spell very slowly when Kelley was being beaten by shovels, luckily for Kelley Dee was a good bro, too good infact.

Your best video yet ! Our evolution lies within the word. The transcendence of our language into a higher form. A language where you can "see" what the person means.

The Angel of the West Window: Gustav Meyrink. First published in 1927, this novel centres on the life of the Elizabethan magus John Dee. Past and present, dreams and visions, myth and reality interweave as we accompany Dee on his search for the truth. Though he has much knowledge, he lacks one crucial insight . Because of this lack we watch him become entangled ever more deeply in a web of delusion and disaster. He imagines his fervent prayers are answered by an angel of God, whereas in reality the response comes from an angel of darkness, a projection of everything that lives within him. Through this Angel of the West Window he is eventually ruined, so that he finally blames God for what he himself has created . To see how, after a long path of experience, Dee eventually finds his way out of this web to reach his ultimate goal, making this book a good read.

Wow, this strikes so many notes of the Mormon story and Joseph smith . Joseph had a somewhat murky past with finding buried treasure, glossolalia was very popular before the nauvoo period, you get a new book that has ancient roots(reminds me of the mystique of the hermetica), a new alphabet in very short use , and alot more. It's really fascinating the magical past of protestantism and it's ideological compatriots. I've often seen mormonism as the apotheosis of mystical non-denominationalism. Their closest relatives being the baptists, or rational non-denominationalism. I hope Dr. Sledge does some videos on the Restoration period in America , or on the oahspe, or the urantia book 🤔

This guy is amazing!.. everything he does is very interesting.

Dr. Sledge should seriously consider an Enochian stand up special! Super fun to watch!

Sounds like a great 'guys night in'! Thanks for this exposition of Dee and Kelly's Excellent Adventure.

Michael :"let's make some good wine" Humans : "But I want to be a pirate" Angels : "Lol k"

I'm just so hesitant to call on any beings; I don't know that I could ever feel confident that I know who I'm working with and what the consequences could be. I prefer to trust in my own energies and intuition and always act in service of the Most High, seems to get the job done for me!

Anything that mentions stuff I'm familiar with like Zipf's Law and combines it with esoteric mathemagick has my attention! If I had any money I could donate to you Patreon for the time you took to make this. However, I'm just a poor homesteader/ gardener/ farmer. Maybe someday my old copper cent collection will be worth more then face value and I can share with you, and buy more seeds too!

I love all of your videos. Thanks for making this content and sharing not only interesting topics but also your keen sense of humor lol

"Painstaking revelation. What do I mean by 'painstaking'?" Really really really slow download times. Angelic internet running on early-modern pen-and-ink hardware.

This is a truly fascinating and entertaining playlist; I'm really enjoying it - thanks for making & sharing it with us! ❤️❤️

These videos got me to buy both the Enochian Dictionary and the Book of Enoch. I'm delving into Angel Magick as my primary base as a Chaos Witch. Thank you for introducing me to this side of the world.

I remember buying and getting stuck into my first copy of Aleister Crowley's "Liber 418: The Vision and the Voice" and I happened to be reading another little book that went into some detail about Crowley's relationship with the "disciple" who joined him on that journey into the desert, an apparently sorely mistreated Victor Neuburg, at the same time. I was at the time familiar only with the so-called Enochian Keys as a result of having read Anton LaVey's "Satanic Bible" which has the keys printed in a somewhat abridged form towards its end. I found the history of the language and its "reception" by Dee and Kelley compelling and like you, I was only about 14 at the time myself, so to be honest, a lot of the techniques and terminology that was employed in the writing of the book were as new to me as the language. If I'm being honest, the method of scrying employed by Dee and Kelley is still quite foggy to me from the implements they made use of to all the inversions of the text in their revelations and the way in which they were written down. You can imagine then, I'm sure, that if I'm still foggy on those things now, I swore my way through "The Vision and the Voice" from start to finish and on that first reading, really took nothing in beyond the exciting bit detailing Al's seemingly deliberate embodiment of the spirit of Daath's ruling demon, Choronzon, and what I discovered in the little book I was subsequently reading to have been some kind of abusive sexually-charged behavior aimed at the skinny little Neuburg who's job in the ritual was basically to assist and document and ended up involving so much more than that - all apparently rather ugly stuff that doesn't reflect on the character of the late Crowley very well at all. Man, did I put a lot of time into trying to learn to recite those keys by heart. Years later, I had managed to commit some to memory along with a modicum of awareness of what I was saying in translation. It was all part of a study of ceremonial magick that I really took quite seriously until my early thirties. Today, I don't think I could recite even a single sentence from any one of the keys. Man alive, those were some weird times. I don't regret them, not for the most part, although I did fall victim to something of an obsession with the material that I don't think benefited me or anyone else at all. But now that I'm listening to you talk about the history of the Enochian or Angelic language, I find my interest somewhat piqued by it again, although with a great deal more interest in the history and conception of the work. I love your channel so much, Dr. Sledge. It's kinda homey for me in a way, and you deliver the information with such clarity along with that wonderful modicum of subtle humor that just makes it all the better. Thank you so very much.

Dr. Sledge, I enjoy your presentations, especially your academic approach to the esoteric. I am familiar with the readings of the American Book of the Dead by EJ Gold, a translations and interpretation of Tibetan Book of the Dead. Two things struck me during your discussion on the Angelical symbols. During the voyage of the essence after death there is an immediate confrontation with the Clear Light and greatest potential for transfiguration. After this initial bounce the essence begins to lose momentum and descends through 49 chambers, noted by colors, symbols and angelic association in order to learn the lessons of the Tree of Life. Seven times we pass through seven chambers each time experiencing more hallucinations and distractions drawing us into another karmic rebirth. However anytime during this voyage through Bardo we can see the face of the beloved and transcend. The angelic beings first appearing as friendly guides, followed by non-responsive guides and eventually the torment of our own hallucinations. The 7x7 or 49 chambers seems to resonate with the magickal squares and the descending passages you have described in your work on the Angelical symbols. Blessings Aurea luc

You make me research more than ever before, i am new to your channel but i am totally glued to the screen & riveted to my chair when you start Teaching. I Love research by the way. This topic was/is really interesting, Thank You For You!

I read that they deciphered all but the last 36 pages when they channeled the angel Uriel he told them that ONLY the arch angel Gabriel knew how to read the symbols 😲😲😯😯🥺😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤔

John Dee = the real agent 007.

"I accidentaly ... the Apocalypse" Rebuild Evangelion 2.0, is that you?

Super interesting topic. Thanks for all your knowledge

Everyone working in Enochian magic seems to say that everyone else is doing it wrong.

Absolutely love your content! Such a fascinating subject. I own a copy of “ John Dee’s Five Books Of Mystery” Edited by Joseph Peterson but I have yet really dig into it because it is SO far above my pay grade. It sticks out from amongst my other books like a sore thumb waiting for me to fumble through its pages. 🤣 I’m looking forward to episode 3!

Great video! I'm very much looking forward to your video on the calls. Blessings🙏

“ Beaten with angelic shovels” love it !

Dee & Kelley : The keys to the kingdom of God won't pay the rent !

Many thanks for this lucid and informative presentation. Sincerely, M.D.P.

You have a wonderful show and a great dry wit. Have a safe trip. Thanks

Very much a Neophyte in a personal attempt to wade thru esotericism. You are helping me tremendously. Your many references to Hinduism gives a good contrast. To summarize...strengthof Spirit means deeper responsibility does it not. Raw power unfiltered through a set of reasonable values looks like, sounds like wildfire. Wildfire has a mind of its own, yes? Regardless...thank you so very, very much. Timothy Hendrix

Maybe those spectors beated him with shovels because he wouldn't stop asking about buried treasure? I mean... open the gateway to other worlds after annoying the crap out of everybody there--and you might get some ironic punishment

Really enjoying this topic and your approach as it’s concise, detailed and entertaining

Dont start yet, let me grab my absinthe!

Dr. Sledge, I wish you would make all your brilliant RU-vid discussions of Western Esotericism available as podcasts.

Dr. J's intro reminded me of the intro for twilight zones' or Alfred Hitchcock's opening monologue . Our friend ,Esoterica, knows how to make it fun.😄

Absolutely brilliant work! You have my most sincere thanks :)

Fantastic work, Justin, like always. Curious if you have talked about Sabbatean Kabbalah & practices amongst the Dönmeh in any of your episodes. If not, what your thoughts are on its relevancy?

That grid from the book is eerily similar to the Befunge esoteric programming language.

Your knowledge is just amazing

People have no idea how important this work was/is. We are using aspects of the magick you speak of to communicate right now. How do people figure the renaissance happened? Electricity? Indeed all of the modern scientific fields are aspects of the same discipline divided & compartmentalized as such that all of mankind is contributing to a single end. The great work.

Listening to your videos while playing Elden Ring is such a vibe.

Really enjoyed this enquiry from a historical social point of view. Ed Kelly, an awesome con man and cold caller. I feel sorry for the good Doctor everytime. Kelly saw him coming and profited. They both created a memorable textual art of cultural importance. Perhaps the Dr enjoyed his performances as they played directly into his world view. Kelly would have been understood by the fox sisters. Of the same kind. Know your audience..there beliefs and habits and coldcall the angels. It makes for great tales and I very much appreciate your excellent investigations.

I enjoyed the extra gravitas in your intro in this one.

Awesome 😎 thanks brother!!🙏blessed be!!

J diddy is now what I’m going to be calling John D, and I think I want to start a drinking game for every time you bring up the buries treasure because it cracks me up😂😂 you playyyy🎉love it. Your channel has given me a huge resource for research tangents on my path, thank you!!! It’s lonely out here!

Angelic combo breaker!! Lmao! Im sooo using that! Great stuff Sir!!

THIS CHANNEL IS AWESOME

On a less serious note (or maybe way more serious), a couple of those symbols look like amazing tattoo ideas. Namely the Seal of God and the star shown around the 25:35 mark of the video. What are the odds that getting the Seal of God tattooed on one's self would cause unfortunate side effects? I mean for me in this case, the end of the world will happen either way, so I don't consider that a particularly unfortunate side effect. However, being beaten by angels would be unfortunate, by my estimation.

I seem to be a little lost, is the third part of the series, dealing with the Enochian calls, out yet? I am pretty excited for it, these videos are so thorough and well-researched!

I'd be interested to see Dr. Sledge's take on Crowley's The Vision and the Voice in which he worked systematically through all 30 Aethyrs. Whatever one does or doesn't "believe" about magic and the occult, there's no doubt that Crowley received some powerful and intense visions by working with the system received by Dee and Kelley.

Have you posted the third video? I’m having trouble finding it.

Awesome episode, Dr. Sledge! :) :) :) There's a ton to comment on in here for sure - but for now I note that you pronounce "Gebofal" as "geh-BOW-fall" (with a hard "g"). I have tended toward "JEH-bow-fal" (with the "a" as in "apple"). But, I admit, that has always been a complete shot in the dark on my part, as Dee left us no pronunciation notes on this word. Meanwhile, your pronunciation strikes me as more "in tune" with what the Language actually sounds like. Is there a reason you settled on that pronunciation? I'm already finding myself pronouncing it more like you do! LOL

If there is only evidence of correlation and not causation between the unlocking of the Liber Loagaeth and the apocalypse, couldn't it go causally in the other direction? That somehow being in a state of apocalypse has prepaired the world to receive this?

Enochain magic is keep it up for 30 seconds in my black mage rotations so I can cast a better fire and blizzard. Oh you meant actual enochain and not the spell (now passive ability) from ceitcally a claimed mmorpg Final Fantasy 14. (sorry i couldnt help my self. Big fan of your videos though!)

21:58 I was already tempted to go for it for the sheer absurdity of the idea of being beaten up by angels with shovels (what a great party anecdote would that make), and now you tell me I'm linguistically equipped to give it a shot?

Maybe the buried treasure thing was a test of some sort.

I truly love you bro kkkkkk your channel is sooo amazing, u are like as big as Umberto Eco for me. Tks for helping me finding peace of mind. Shalom! Have a Nice resting and peacefull weekend.

The idea that AC goes from TEX to LIL is similar to GD's concept of getting initiated from the Tree of Life, from Malkuth moving up to Kether, gaining support, maturity, comfort in the energy from TEX which is the closest to earth. The classic pathwork in GD.

Thank you so much for your work. I really enjoy it... 🙏🙏🙏

God's that someone would make a movie of these interactions! In the style of "Dark Song"...

Thanks for de new BDSM idea "beaten whit angelic shovel"

i am a relativley recent subscriber, and i'm so glad i found your channel, great work :) i woud love to see you collaborate in an interview with my favourite podcast Conner Habib's "against everyone", you share a lot of common interests in your work!

Love this channel

Great content. Itd be cool to see an episode dedicated to John Dee. I learned quite a lot about him. The original 007. 007 being two balls and a cain....having something to do with a secret society dedicated to "tubal-cain". Ever heard of that?

Thanks

Oh wow excellent episode ! When I came to my studies of "Enochian Magic" it was from studying alchemy and I found a lot of alchemical imagery in this magic system. I like that you said that the system was supposed to lead him too some kind of spiritual revelation or beatific vision. I had similar ideas. That it was either leading something similar to a beatific vision or some kind of spiritual philosophers Stone. Either way excellent episode and I cannot wait tell I see your next on.

Everybody loves the Dee

Somehow I can't help but hearing "the liber loagaeth" as "livin la liber loaga(eth)"... like La Vida Loca xD

I hope you might expand your Dee work to include his greatest masterpiece, the New World. There is a celestial "windmill" observation megalithic site in New England that he designed. We are in America because of Dee's work with the crown.

I think you should talk to Tommie Kelly who did some experiments with the "enochian" magic system and tried some scrying in the Aethyrs. He performed the rituals based on the book "Enochian Vision Magick" by Lon Milo DuQuette. I think it could be a very interesting episode and conversation.

Too many parallels with Joseph Smith to go unnoticed. It seems unlikely Smith knew of Dee, but they walked a similar road. Dee must have had more going for him intellectually, and the Tudor court was more accommodating to mysticism than the 'Burned Over Country' of Ohio in the 1830's. Buried treasure is a slippery fish, hard to get a firm grasp upon.

Thanks!

Crowley describes TEX as the 30th or "Inmost," which implies that the aethyrs are expanding spheres culminating in LI, the outermost or largest sphere next to the Infinite Absolute.

Good depection of the great John Dee and Kelly , brilliant

Really enjoyed the episode. I wondered since I haven't read or no much about this text. Did it specifically use the word "apocalypse" or is that the term you are simply using to describe wheat the texts are about because I watched another scholar the other day say that the actual original meaning of apocalypse is more in line with enlightenment. So I was simply curious as to maybe is it about enlightenment or that sort or is the text really about doom 😂. Hope that question made sense 😊

What is the title of the third video in this series? I just discovered this channel and love the content

I would love a video on Dr Sledges personal beliefs and his history with the topic of theology👀

Looks to be an interesting video.

I love it, how the logo for your channel looks exactly similar (Homoousion) to a Mayan hieroglyph.

I’d love to see your views on the Azoetia!

For a laugh, see the movie "Knights of Badassdom" where character reads John Dee in Enochian & summons a demon. very silly movie, but on topic. available on amazon prime.

I scry. It's always historical. Once I saw a native american of north american dress. She was chained to a floor while a blade of wheat swayed over her. The blade turned into bishops miters, them bishops who wear them then holding their index finger out and swaying it in tandem with their heads; all this while I saw my shadow self stood on a shore side at sun set and I flashed back and forth from raven to human.

I am not an academic computational linguist....however I am interested in buried treasure.

I love you!!!!!!!! If only I could summon you and download all your knowledge. What was your Sigil again? Haha

Enoch Metatron✨🌱❤️

“Combo breaker” 😂 great stuff

Great video. Thank you

Hi! brother I am in Israel now! I am very interesting in study and learn more about my spiritual journey could you recommend mend me some schools and give some advice ? I will appreciate it :)

So basically they demanded the angel do the Truffle Shuffle. So I wonder what would happen with these if someone ran them through the "Bible Codes" program, or is that the computational analysis you were talking about?
