much greater detail) we will move on to the next point, the possibility
that Crowley attempted the so-called Apocalypse working.
Tyson first states; No other man of the twentieth century was better
suited to initiate the Apocalypse Working, even as there had been no
man in the sixteenth century better suited than Dee to receive it from
the Enochian angels. Interestingly, Crowley believed himself to be the
reincarnation of Edward Kelley. 76 This may be true and if it is, one
again wonders how much of the circumstance surrounding the two
men (Dee and Crowley) , though separated by long centuries, was the
result of not the volition of the individual but instead the manipulation
of the Angels. This question shall loom large when we again return to
the Babalon Working performed by Parsons.
In any case, Tyson continues; I doubt that Crowley ever succeeded in
correctly completing the entire Enochian Apocalypse Working -- that
is, the primal occult Key which is nowhere recorded, the eighteen
manifest Keys, and the Key of the 30 Aethyrs in their correct
correspondence with the parts of the Great Table of the
Watchtowers. 77 While the Enochian Apocalypse Working was
mentioned earlier, the time has come to decipher just what exactly
Tyson is talking about. As mentioned, Tyson says the real purpose of
the keys is explicitly stated by the Archangel Raphael: The Enochian
Calls or … are 48 spirit evocations … in the Enochian language and
then translated into English word for word by the angels. The overt
purpose of the Keys, the angels declared, was to enable Dee to
establish ritual communication with the spirits of the 30 Aethers or
Airs who rule over the tutelary spirits of the nations of the earth.
There are actually 49 Keys, but the first, the angels said, is too sacred
and mysterious to be voiced. …The angel Raphael declares the
expressed purpose the Keys to Dee: "In 49 voyces, or callings: which
are the Natural Keyes, to open those, not 49, but 48. (for One is not to
be opened) Gates of understanding, whereby you shall have knowledge
to move every Gate, and to call out as many as you please, or shall be
