<strong>The</strong> Seven heads and crowns are <strong>the</strong> planetary Archons <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Gnostics, as referred to in <strong>the</strong> Seven Devils cast out <strong>of</strong> Mary<br />

Magdalene 79 . Finally, we will look at Revelation 12, 7 - 9:<br />

7 And <strong>the</strong>re was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against<br />

<strong>the</strong> dragon; and <strong>the</strong> dragon fought and his angels,<br />

8 And prevailed not; nei<strong>the</strong>r was <strong>the</strong>ir place found any more in<br />

heaven.<br />

9 And <strong>the</strong> great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called <strong>the</strong> Devil,<br />

and Satan, which deceiveth <strong>the</strong> whole world: he was cast out into <strong>the</strong><br />

earth, and his angels were cast out with him.<br />

Note first <strong>the</strong> reference to Michael, who is, as noted, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> few<br />

named Angelic beings in <strong>the</strong> Bible. Second, <strong>the</strong> myth here clearly is<br />

reflected in Choronzon’s being referred to as <strong>the</strong> cast down one<br />

though again, as a cosmic force, his status is such that we must<br />

consider his position as under <strong>the</strong> approval <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> higher powers. As in<br />

<strong>the</strong> discussion <strong>of</strong> Choronzon previously, it is also apparent that he is<br />

anti<strong>the</strong>tical to man and so to God’s plan <strong>of</strong> redemption, at least as<br />

envisioned by orthodox Christians. <strong>The</strong>refore we can see that <strong>the</strong><br />

comparison <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Calls and <strong>the</strong> very language <strong>of</strong> Revelation<br />

(especially <strong>the</strong> King James, which derived from Tyndale which Dee<br />

was likely familiar with) are very similar in style if not content. And<br />

again we find Tyson’s reading to be supported in Dee’s written<br />

records.<br />

Finally, Tyson reveals his “source” for <strong>the</strong> ritual itself. <strong>The</strong> Angel Ave<br />

explains to Dee (quoted by Tyson):<br />

Four days ...must you only call upon those names <strong>of</strong> God [on <strong>the</strong> Great<br />

Table <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Watchtowers], or on <strong>the</strong> God <strong>of</strong> Hosts, in those names:<br />

And 14 days after you shall (in this, or in some convenient place) Call<br />

<strong>the</strong> Angels by Petition and by <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> God, unto <strong>the</strong> which <strong>the</strong>y<br />

are obedient.<br />

79 Luke 8 : 2 And certain women, which had been healed <strong>of</strong> evil spirits and infirmities, Mary<br />

called Magdalene, out <strong>of</strong> whom went seven devils<br />
