    To those who ask, "Where do I start?

    " I am copying from our


    esteemed co-admin, David R. Jones.
    "...one must first go to the basics that Dee himself used and to his
    other mathemagical works. These include Agrippa (Donald Tyson's
    edt. is fairly definitive) and Abano principally, (the Magus by
    Barrett is a good epitome of these for starters), Dee's introduction
    to Euclid (as well as Euclid's books themselves), the Monas
    Hieroglyphica and the Propaedeumata Aphoristica. Some genuine
    Hebrew Qabalah is also useful (Dee lived at a time when this
    material was first making its way out of Hebrew and Aramaic and
    into Latin). Dee depended on Reuchlin but from a magical
    standpoint the Sepher Yetzirah is probably more useful (Aryeh
    Kaplan's print edition is the only one that anyone should begin
    with in understanding Renaissance Qabalah.
    "Next one should process Dee's own Grimoire - Geoffrey James'
    Enochian Evocation/Magic is a good place to start; as is the sadly
    out of print Elizabethan Magic by Robert Turner. Be careful with
    James' over dependence on Crowley and Carroll Poke Runyon in
    the notes. Not that they are wrong per se, but it is one of the
    great problems in Enochian as in all Occultism to mistake opinions
    for facts and opinions need to be examined, analyzed and tested.
    Turner's opinions are also suspect at times, and though Turner's
    tables and keys are essentially flawless the same cannot be said
    of James' which need constantly checked against MS.
    "After that you should work your way through the primary source
    material of the Angelic Spirit Actions chronologically. Our own
    Joseph H Peterson's Liber Mysteriorum is unquestionably the best
    place to start, though comparison to the Whitby Version (available
    free online as a thesis from the British govt.) can be valuable.
    "Move from there to the materials in A True & Faithful Relation. As
    our lovely admin says above Klein's Complete Mystical Records of
    Dr. John Dee is the gold standard, with some reservations. The
    Latin is untranslated and unlike some of us learning Latin is
    usually considered over-burdensome. Stephen Skinner's Key to
    the Latin of Dr. John Dee's Spiritual Diaries is a great help in this
    matter, but a learning a little Latin also goes a long way, esp. as
    the language is mildly multivalent. The Stephen Skinner edt. of a
    True & Faithful Relation is also valuable for the notes (though I
    find them sometimes unintentionally humorous and there are
    more than a few tabular errors that make no difference unless you
    are actually working with the magick and then they can make all
    the difference in the world). You can though just read one of the
    widely available online editions. Most of us had to struggle with
    that when we began those decades ago.
    "I would also like to highly recommend Dean Wilson's companion
    to Enochian Magic in Practice, i.e. his Enochian Magic in Theory. It
    is a particularly astute understanding of what it is to have a Dee
    purist POV.
    "Aaron Leitch's Essential Enochian Grimoire, Lon Milo DuQuette's
    Enochian Vision Magick, Jason Augustus Newcomb Practical
    Enochian Magick and my own articles in the files section on the
    System of Enochian Magick and In Operibus Sigillo Dei Aemeth
    are all valuable with the above given proviso that opinions are not
    facts and all of us get them confused occasionally."
