Average customer review:Product Description
Enochian Magick is arguably the most intriguing and potent form of ceremonial magick available today. Dr. John Dee, a prominent philosopher in the Elizabethan court, literally received this system of magick from angels through the scrying mediumship of Edward Kelly. This book offers a complete approach to conducting this magical system for the modern adept. It contains instructions in the practical use of all three major parts of the Enochian system: the Four Watchtowers, the Thirty Aethyrs and the Heptarchia Mystica. Rather than a mere rehash of Golden Dawn material this book offers an approach that honors both the innovations of the Golden Dawn and the essence of the original Dee materials in an un-dogmatic and nonsectarian format that is extremely accessible. Although this book is particularly designed for students of the New Hermetics, any practicing occultist interested in the Enochian system will find this book incredibly useful.

Thourough and Comprehensive Guide to Enochian
Whether you merely find yourself curious about Enochian magick or you consider yourself an experienced Enochian mage, "Practical Enochian Magick" has something to offer you.
As an experienced occultist, I have always found much of the published work on Enochian obtuse and quite unapproachable. Many report feeling too intimidated by the complexity of the system to even begin exploring it. Dee and Kelley themselves did not explore the Enochian system in any practical way.
I cannot recall any treatment of the subject more clear and accessible than "Practical Enochian Magick". I found all the descriptions, diagrams, and instructions quite valuable. I never considered exploring Enochian Magick as "easy" until now. Newcomb successfully made Enochian "workable".
The dilettante and adept alike will find much value in this volume. You may be surprised to find yourself calling this book "the best Enochian book to come along", or it may not surprise you at all.
Excellent Practical Manual
Like Mr. Newcomb's previous books, this one is well written and to the point. It most definitely lives up to its title as an excellent "Practical" manual of Enochian magick.
In my opinion, the very things that seemed to put off the previous reviewer (Mr. Duvendack) help to make this book as good as it is. It is clear that this book was never intended as a rehash of historical material. There are certainly other books out there that detail the history and the "whys" of the Enochian system, and much of the original Dee/Kelley material is available on the Internet for those inclined in that direction. This book was intended as an easy to navigate guidebook for those who are looking to put the system to use; a sort of modern grimoire for the practicing Enochian magician.
Existing students of the New Hermetics will certainly find this book to be a comfortable addition to the New Hermetics corpus, but anyone looking for a concise, practical to guide to the Enochian system should enjoy this book and find it very useful.
An actual method to Enochian Working
Jason Newcomb has created a concise and quickly accessible work on Enochian Magick for the actual working occultist. If you want to only read books there are many available, but if you want to work the Enochian System in a safe and systematic manner than this is the book for you. The pronunciation guidelines given are alone worth the cost of the book. In conjunction with his other books or by itself this is a seminal work destined to change the face of Western Occultism. Newcomb has never been focused on the theory, his works give enough theory so that his readers can work the system. And the System works amazingly well. After reading this book you should have a solid understanding of Enochian Magick and the tools to work it effectively.
