Enochian magic is a system of ceremonial magic based on the evocation and commanding of various spirits. It is based on the 16th century writings of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley, who claimed that their information was delivered to them directly by various angels. Dee's journals contained the Enochian script, and the table of correspondences that goes with it. It claims to embrace secrets contained within the apocryphal Book of Enoch.

The Book of Invocations edit
Referred to in Dee's journals in Latin as "Tabula angelorum bonorum", this book dealt primarily with the invocation of angels assigned to certain areas of knowledge such as medicine, or transportation.
Angels of the Aires edit
This book was intended to invoke angels in order to gain specific knowledge of places on earth. The following is directly translated from Dee's journals when explaining the purpose of these angels: "[in order to] subvert whole countries without armies, to get the favor of all [human] princes, & to know the secret treasure of the waters, & the unknown caves of the earth".
