I - The Enochian Language, Introduction
The Enochian Language is the central piece of the entire system. It is the Language of the Angels (according to the Angels), and, while we don't have a full "guide" available to us, there is clear indication of syntax and grammar, which alone suggests that this is indeed a real language, and not, as some suggest, a product of Kelley's diabolical (yet ingenious) imagination. The reception of this language is largely based around the Enochian Calls/Keys, which are large poetic invocations that were received backwards, since the Angels believed that the words were too powerful to deliver to Dee forwards. The language itself may appear very strange, as there are often lots of consonants next to each other, making words seemingly unpronounceable, but this has been worked around with various approaches, some of which will be explained in a later lecture in this thread.
