Enochian Sigils
When discussing sigils, sigil creation and sigil magick, one first needs to make sure everyone is on.
In order to explain Enochian sigils we must first discuss Enochian as it is understand, as a language.
The enochian elemental sigils are good. If you want unique sigils for these Djin, Paralda, etc. I'd think skrying and whatnot might be a good start on finding, creating them for yourself. Envision just the sigil of the Deity being conjured for about 2 or 3 minutes. Now recite the Enochian Prayer to Zorabia and ring the bell! You may now make sacrifice or an offering to your Deity and say: “Zorabia” Ring the bell!
Enochian is a language which has been said for hundreds of years to be the language which unites mankind with the Angels in heaven.

This language doesn’t just connect us, it gives us the power over the heavens, in a sense, because in this language, one which is particularly image driven, we are able to push ourselves through the confines of our physical reality and can therefore make actual change to the malleable Universe.
In Enochian magic, much of what is accomplished is done by essentially forcing, or making an entity who would normally be considered ‘higher’ or more ‘evolved’ than humans, to do our magical bidding. Using this language can make your magical work a thousand times stronger if you are aware of what you are doing. When Enochian magic first started to be practiced, it was deeply entrenched in the mysticism of many different religions; particularly Christianity and ancient Hebrew religions.
Enochian Magic
The sigils which are associated with Enochian are the symbols in the alphabet themselves for which the Enochians owe their success. Enoch is a Biblical Patriarch so to speak who, according to lore was a very righteous man.
It was during his meditations and prayers that he learned the language of the Angels because God instructed them to bring him to Heaven. When Enoch returned, he shared this language with others and was taught how to control the angels which had deceitful intentions or who wished to enslave humanity. The sigils associated with Enoch are some of the most powerful. The alphabet itself can be translated into English which makes it possible to use this language, but only with caution and respect for what it is and what it does.
Inherent in the usage of Enochian sigils came the birth of using sigils for everyday magic. There are those in the Pagan community who do not believe in attempting to control Angels, but who instead derive all of their energy from a source which they consider to be all inclusive or Universal.
The concept of using abstract symbolism in order to represent something that we desire, came from Enochian magic, but is used now in a more focused way which doesn’t exclude ourselves from other entities which might be seen as the downfall of Enochian magic. Some say that in controlling or thinking we can control energies such as Angels who are higher than ourselves, we separate ourselves from the abundance or happiness which would be available to us if we were behaving in a less restrictive way. Regardless of how one thinks or feels about forcing Angels to do our bidding by using their language, one thing is true. We wouldn’t even understand the power of sigil magic if it wasn’t for the Enochian tongue.
This book challenges a great deal of the conventional wisdom surrounding Enochian magick. I’ll start by listing some of the proposed changes, then evaluating the relative justification of these changes. Along the way, I will evaluate the practical usefulness.
Enochian Sigil Si Symbol From Supernatural
One of the first modifications made by is the proposed working order to the Aethyrs. As author Damon Brand admits, this is quite controversial for practitioners, where the bottom-up, Numbers 30 to 1 approach is the norm.
The justification that Brand offers is a dubious one: that this is the order that Dee received them in. However, this ignores an obvious reason as to why the angels presented the Aethyrs to Dee in this order: the Angels, looking at the highest Aethyr—it being closest to God—start there (they are messengers from God, after all) and then work their way to the farthest Aethyr.
Furthermore, having scried all 30 Aethyrs (from the bottom up) and also having scried some Aethyrs out of order before having done all 30, I can emphatically state that the energy of this Aethyr is quite intense. Readers of this book, introduced to this energy of LIL without prior experience, would either have to manage such energy without any experience with it, or would get a limited version of it.
For practical and theoretical reasons, this is not an approach I endorse. Regarding the sigils for the Aethyrs, they seem plausible enough (the outer circle uses the initial text of the call to each Aethyr), but using them as means for “success” without touching on the depth of the energy at play was disappointing. I’ve no doubt that the Aethyrs can provide a means for success, but the practitioner may get far more than bargained for, not in the sense of a “monkey’s paw,” but rather in the sense of perhaps being set upon a path to do advanced work that was not necessarily chosen. While I personally value the soul-unfolding nature of this work, novice readers may not yet share such a value.
Additional changes of note to the restored Enochian system are the changes made the watchtowers. The watchtower tablets are modified into sigils so as to include god names and three angels for each sigil. Why, for a 7-based system, the three additional god names that are also used in the ritual to call upon these angels weren’t included as part of the sigil is strange. Indeed, these angels and the additional three god names themselves already appear on the watchtower tablet, so their inclusion in a standalone sigil seems superfluous and redundant. Furthermore the main god names from the black cross can be incorporated into the watchtowers without issue: the watchtowers themselves are sufficient.
Enochian Sigil For Energy And Light
The effectiveness of such watchtower-derived rituals seems likely, but the rationale for them is unclear; angels are intelligent beings who can indeed be called upon via derived rituals, without calls, but it seems strange that a method to sidestep the means of communication–namely, the Enochian calls–that the angels themselves transmitted. This strikes me as the celestial equivalent of calling a friend during work hours who asks that you text them. Sure, they’ll kindly reply, but is this really how you want to treat them?

Ultimately, I give this book 3.5/5 stars. It’s likely to have some effectiveness, but not as much as the means offered in other works on Enochian. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be a good introduction into the system. One line in particular I take issue with: “[T]he angels…urged us to stop fretting over the nature of the magick, to stop worrying about the details, and stop obsessing over what it all means.” I dare say that most who have studied and practiced this system magick know better.
