Praise for this book

“This extensive tome, ten yeas in the making, is a profound step in the evolution of magickal understanding. Though debate continues to surround the 'legitimacy' of Dee and Kelley's Enochian system, its influence on modern magick is undeniable. Aaron Leitch has taken it upon himself to deeply explore the ins and outs of the Angelical Language, examining its linguistics and origins with accuracy and an eye for detail.”
— Raven Digitalis, author of Shadow Magick Compendium and Planetary Spells and Rituals
“The Angelical Language is the single most comprehensive text ever written on the subject of the Enochian magical system and language of Elizabethan luminary, Dr. John Dee. This two-volume magnum opus demonstrates Aaron Leitch's familiarity with practical magic as well as his skill as a meticulous researcher. A must-have book.”
— Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero, Chief Adepts of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
“In The Angelical Language, Aaron Leitch is to be congratulated on producing what is surely by far the most lucid, thorough, practical, and coherent study of the apparently diverse workings of Dr John Dee and Edward Kelley to date.”
— David Rankine and Sorita d'Este, authors of Practical Elementary Magick
