Refimprove date April 2007 Enochian angels are entities as expressed in the Enochian magic system, introduced in the 16th century by John Dee 1527 1608 and Edward Kelley 1555 1597 . History John Dee was dedicated to the newly formed Church of England or the Anglican Faith , and this can be seen throughout his journals and his Enochian system of Angel Magic. Therein, we find an obvious belief in the Trinity Father, Son and Holy Spirit . We also find a fourth Supreme Being in the figure of Galvah Omega &mdash who is also called the Mother, Wisdom and I AM in Dee s journals. This figure is known in Judaism as the Shekhinah &mdash Divine Presence to the Gnostics as Sophia name Sophia &mdash Wisdom and to the Hermetic Qabalah as Aima Elohim &mdash Mother of the gods. Beneath these four Divinities are several hierarchies of angel s, or intelligent rulers, set over such things as the Planets, the Stars and the four Quarters of the Earth. The angels of the four quarters are symbolized by the Watchtowers &mdash four large magickal word square Tables collectively called the Great Table of the Earth . Most of the well known Enochian Angels are drawn from the Watchtowers of the Great Table. Each of the four Watchtowers is collectively governed by six Seniors aka Elders &mdash making a total of 24 Elders as seen in the Revelation of St. John . Each Watchtower is further divided into four sub quadrants, where we find the names of various Archangels and Angels who govern the quarters of the world. In this way, the entire universe, visible and invisible, is teeming with living intelligences. Enochian angels This is a list of the names of Enochian angels . A Aaan A minor angel.
