Without their work, Dee's original system of mysticism would have lain hidden in the Five Books oJ the Mysteries and A True and Elithfiil Relation ... for God knows how long. Their books and resources were indispensable as reference material in my own studies. (Special thanks must also go to Joseph Peterson and to Ian Rons of The Magickal Review. for granting me permission to use their publications of Dee's journals. and the best Enochian font ever made-the "Kelley Angelic" font.) In the same spirit, I wish to acknowledge Patricia Shaffer. Her work on gathering Dee's pronunciation notes for the Angelical Keys was an indescribable help to mel Finally. I also thank her for taking the time to work with me, and to answer all of my challenges to her work. I also wish to thank everyone on the Enochian-l e-mail list (at gnostica.net), who collectively make up the very elite of Enochian scholarship. I would also like to mention Ben Rowe (aka "Josh Norton"), who was one of the brightest minds in Enochian scholarship of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Like James. Peterson, Lay cock, and the others, he was instrumental in the resurrection of Dee's lost system of Angelic Magick. I know you're studying with the Pir now, Mr. Rowe! A special kind of thanks goes to Robert Heinlein, and his work Stranger in a Strange Land. He told us all about the miracles one could accomplish if one would only take the time to learn a language that transcends human thought. I wish also to thank those from my personal life who allowed me access to Dee's records (before The Magickal Review gave them to the worldl). Thanks to Steve for swelling my head just enough to keep plug ging away at this weirdness, as well as for helping me get the images and diagrams in order. Thanks to Austin. without whom J would never have had the computer equipment to get onto the Internet ten years ,1gO, nor to write this material. Of course, thanks must go to Carrie, IIII
