John Dee's "Of Spirits and Apparitions" (1659) is a landmark work in the Western Magical / Hermetic Tradition, and one of the most remarkable magical records ever written. The work was assembled from Dee's diaries and writings 50 years after his death (which were never intended to be published) by Meric Casaubon, and records the conversations which Dee and his assistant, Edward Kelly, held with various angels, the methods they used to summon them, and an exploration of the angelic language termed Enochian (on account of "The Book of Enoch"). It is the foundation work of "Enochian Magic," which was integral to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley.
