The Aurum Solis has also done a lot of work with the Enochian system. Much of their work was spurred forth from the GD system. However, the AS has taken the Enochian system several steps further. For example, they do use the GD layout and colours for the four tablets, but they have greatly expanded on the work involving the 30 aethyres. The AS has attributed elemental correspondences with each aethyre. Enochian Sigils: Using specific Enochian symbols or sigils associated with healing to draw or visualize while vocalizing sounds or utterances. There are a total of nineteen Angelical Keys in Enochian magic. [28] The first eighteen keys are typically associated with opening gates to the realms of elements and sub-elements. In Enochian magic, these realms are often mapped onto the Great Tablet, a complex symbolic diagram used in Enochian ritual work. [29]

Accessed May 20, 2015. http://enochian.info/enochian-keysThe Thirty Aethyrs are an integral part of the Enochian magical system, representing a sequence of spiritual planes or realms that practitioners explore as they ascend from 30 ( TEX, the lowest) to 1 ( LIL, the highest). In the practice of Enochian magic, magicians document their visions, experiences, and impressions within each successive Aethyr, marking their progression through this mystical hierarchy. [27]

The process of astral projection using an Enochian ritual is a long and complicated one. It should not be attempted by beginners or those who are not experienced at astral projection.Since Dee claimed to have received Enochian from the angels it is often referred to as the “language of the angels” and is believed, by some, to possess potent spiritual and magical properties. As an actual language, Enochian itself consists of an alphabet with its own series of 21 letters, sounds, and words.

The use of complementary colors, called flashing colors in the Golden Dawn, means that the watchtowers belong to the class of talismans called flashing tablets. The flashing colors were supposed to draw energy from the atmosphere. [4] The painted tablets were placed on the walls of the temple during some rituals to symbolize the four quarters. A favorite ritual in the Golden Dawn was the Opening by Watchtower. This is a preliminary ritual to purify space and call upon the guardians of the four quarters, which is the origin of casting the magic circle in Wicca. As part of the Opening by Watchtower, the practitioner uses the each elemental ceremonial weapon (air dagger, fire wand, water cup and Earth pentacle) to summon the angels of the quarters. In the South, for instance, the practitioner uses the Fire Wand to trace an invoking Fire Pentagram, then summons the angels using the three names of God found in the Fire Tablet:

In the year 1581, occultists John Dee and Edward Kelley, claimed to have received communications from angels, who provided them with the foundations of a language with which to communicate with ‘the other side’. This ‘angelic’ language contained its own alphabet, grammar and syntax, which they wrote down in journals. The new language was called "Enochian" and comes from John Dee's assertion that the Biblical Patriarch Enoch had been the last human to know the language.
