Enochian Magic & Kabbalah: Summoning Angels, Aliens, UFOs and Other Divine Encounters (Eco-pocket)

fairly easy book to read but not very concise as a guidebook. nice touches with the combination of the Enocian calls with the interpretation and analogies to the tree of life. lots of magical processes discussed. somewhat smallish volume but references many other books by the author.

I've been studying these topics for fun for over twenty years. It was because I saw a possible link between the Annunaki and the Enochian entities that I learned of Joshua Free. I impulsively bought this book as I am wont to do when Enochian is in the title and it doesn't seem like rubbish. I won't say it's bad book but it's certainly not a great book. You get your money's worth and it is an interesting read. The problem with it however is it feels like the author is telling you their great ideas in some spots, and they are cool, but then does very little to make clear where his conclusions come from.As far as the Enochian content goes well sure it's in there but it's not very accurate and doesn't say anything so much as what to do with it. This is the first time I ever read that John Dee needed money so he was trying to get the angels to make gold. Where's the source for that or is it more wild conjecture? While I've never heard of this it could even be true. Though I doubt anyone with the favor of Queen Elizabeth was that broke. It was later in John Dee's life that he started selling off his estate. Anyways the point is the author presents information all the time without anything to back up his claim. The Enochian material itself is just as bland as every other standard Enochian book. Here are the calls, have fun. No new insight or anything.In summary, this book wasn't bad but it mostly feels like the author is ranting his point and we're just supposed to accept it without being given much in the way of evidence or suggestions for further study. It did make me go aha and hmm a few times so it's cool for that. I hope the author's future works are a bit more in depth because his ideas are indeed worth pondering. Yet because of the manner they're presented it often feels like you're chatting with your stoner friend who thinks he's just discovered the secretes of the universe and maybe he has but he's not making much sense at the moment.This book is worth buying as long as you know what you're getting.

Thought I would love it but I threw it away, wouldn't recommend unless you truly are grounding yours and your ancestors told you it's of no harm.

This book is kind of a follow up to the author's Babylonian Myth and Magic, in that he describes how the original system of magic, along with the gods we knew, eventually evolved into those we know today due to political agendas, geography and other factors. Where Babylonian Myth and Magic focuses on the rise of Babylon, Enochian Magic and the Kabbalah talks about the evolution following its fall. The history Joshua Free presents is logical, but I will admit there are very few references to other works in order to substantiate his claims. While this is common in some of his works, it doesn't really make it any less valuable, just easier to dismiss.I've not read any other works on Enochian magick, and therefore can't compare it to other views of the system. Enochian magick has always seemed very cryptic and complex to me so I have very little interest in pursuing it, however there is an overview and guidelines in this book on how to apply the system. The completeness of the material, I suppose, is subject to the reader's experience, but at the very least I believe this could get someone started along the path. Concerning the Kabbalah aspect, while there are interesting tidbits found here, most of my references will continue to be from other sources.The strength of the book is in the author's compelling writing style and the history he presents. Joshua Free clearly illustrates how old knowledge was reinterpreted over time, some bits manipulated and others forgotten. This was among the first books I've read concerning the Anunnaki paradigm. It opened my eyes to some new ideas. I've read it two or three times already and can see myself going back again and again.
