(This thesis was written in 1935 following an intensive study of the Golden
Dawn documents on the Enochian system. It has been left virtually in the same form
it had at that time.)
That the Enochian scheme is a vast and extensive one is well known to the
Zelator Adeptus Minor. But that it is as extensive as actually it is, is suspected I am
sure by few. For the complete system of the Enochian Tablets comprises, in reality,
several apparently disconnected schemes - most of which are not even known to
the average Z.A.M. Though they are unknown is not to say that they are
unimportant, for it requires but little perspicacity to realize that the Enochian
system underlies a large part of the important work of the Order.
There are many hints to indicate that the Z.A.M. is not in full possession of
all the Enochian knowledge. As the Adeptus Minor ritual so eloquently observes of
but one of the parts of the system: "Before the Door of the Tomb, as symbolic
Guardians, are the Elemental Tablets and the Kerubic Emblems, even as before
the mystical Gate of Eden stood the watchful Kerubirn and the Sword of Flame. Do
not therefore forget that the Tablets and the Kerubim are the Guardians of the
Tomb of the Adepti..."
The whole system comprises the following segments:
1. Liber Enoch - (Liber Logaeth), these are the Enochian
Tablets.
2. The Claves Angelicae.
3. Liber Scientiae Auxiliis et Victoriae Terrestris.
4. Sigllum Dei Aemeth.
5. Heptarchia Mystica.
6. The Round Tablet of Nalvage.
The first two items above have been dealt with very adequately in the routine
instructions provided for the Zelator Adeptus Minor in such documents as The
Book of the Concourse of the Forces, as well as in the various introductions and
digests made of that book, and also in the Ritual " T " known as The Book of the
Forty Eight Angelical Keys or Calls.
The remaining schemes are not dealt with at all in the study programme of
work prescribed for the Z.A. M. In various places of those manuscripts there are
deliberate gaps, indicating that such and such an item of knowledge does not come
within the sphere of knowledge of the Z.A.M.
Nonetheless a certain amount of light can be thrown without too much
difficulty upon these deliberate gaps, though whether or not they will be considered
important depends
