Choronzon will be discussed in his context as <strong>the</strong> ruler <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Abyss</strong> 46<br />

and here is a slightly different perspective. It is interesting to note that<br />

<strong>the</strong> Demon, who we will seen is equivalent to <strong>the</strong> Gnostic Demiurge<br />

Ialdaboath and <strong>the</strong> Kabalistic Demon Samael, is identified in <strong>the</strong><br />

Enochian system as TELOCH-VOVIN, <strong>the</strong> “Death Dragon 47 ” as will<br />

be seen (in much more detail in chapter 9, Choronzon) is mythically<br />

<strong>the</strong> remnant or persona <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dragon Typhon.<br />

A description <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> tablets and “gates” shows that, regardless <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

issues <strong>of</strong> unity and consistency, were remarkably complex and<br />

interdependent; <strong>The</strong> original set <strong>of</strong> calls given to Dee and Kelley were<br />

described as opening 49 gates and connected tablets. <strong>The</strong>se tablets<br />

would seem to be those given in Liber Loagaeth, though <strong>the</strong> details are<br />

not clear yet. <strong>The</strong> calls open gates through which energy is transmitted<br />

and invoke <strong>the</strong> things mentioned in <strong>the</strong> calls including <strong>the</strong> I Ged<br />

spirits. <strong>The</strong> beings invoked do not seem to be intrinsically connected<br />

with <strong>the</strong> gates, as <strong>the</strong> connected tablets are. Ra<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong>y seem to<br />

represent one way <strong>of</strong> employing <strong>the</strong> energy. <strong>The</strong> calls have a 7-fold<br />

pattern that seems to derive from <strong>the</strong> gates. This does not fit neatly<br />

with <strong>the</strong> structures found through <strong>the</strong> calls, in particular that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

ae<strong>the</strong>rs. It can be described roughly as follows: 0: <strong>The</strong>se calls<br />

(0,7,14,etc.) seem to have a sense <strong>of</strong> reaching a sense <strong>of</strong> unity to<br />

complete <strong>the</strong> preceeding calls and <strong>the</strong>n returning to form to begin <strong>the</strong><br />

next set. 1-3: <strong>The</strong>se relate to some barrier to be reached through, with<br />

<strong>the</strong> first being outside projecting in, <strong>the</strong> second inside obeying <strong>the</strong> first,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> third giving a passage through connecting <strong>the</strong>se two. 4: <strong>The</strong>se<br />

have a quality <strong>of</strong> brightness and peace that make receptivity possible.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y connect to <strong>the</strong> Worldsoul who lives at <strong>the</strong> center <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Earth. 5:<br />

<strong>The</strong>se have an extraterrestrial connection admitted by means <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

preceding. 6: <strong>The</strong>se have a quality <strong>of</strong> earthly manifestation <strong>of</strong> higher<br />

plans. <strong>The</strong> calls involve a structure referred to in <strong>the</strong> 4th-6th calls as<br />

angles and in <strong>the</strong> 8th call as heavens 48 . etc.<br />

46 See Chronzon, Chapter 9<br />

47<br />

<strong>The</strong> Enochian “language” which forms, for instance, <strong>the</strong> Calls, has, it is claimed, its own<br />

peculiar grammer and syntax<br />
