The Fourteenth Aethyr, UTA

UTA is the fourteenth of the thirty Aethyrs, or Airs, of the Enochian system, the thirty spiritual regions delivered to the mathematician John Dee and the scryer Edward Kelley in 1584, and named in the record Dee compiled from those sessions. Its three-letter name, UTA, was received letter by letter through Kelley's scrying.

Place in the system

Each Aethyr is said to contain three Governors among whom the ninety-one Parts of the Earth are divided.

The thirty Aethyrs are the raw gift of the Dee-Kelley sessions; the elaborate visionary content attached to them in modern practice belongs to a later layer, above all Aleister Crowley's The Vision and the Voice, his record of scrying all thirty Aethyrs in 1900 and 1909. The Aethyr is described here as an element of that documented historical tradition, studied as such, its entities not reified.

The three Governors

UTA's three Parts are Tedoond, ruling Paphlogonia on the Black Sea coast of Anatolia, under King Gebabal of the tribe of Asher; Vivipos, ruling Phasiana in the Armenian highland, under King Alpudus of the tribe of Issachar; and Ooanamb, ruling Chaldei, southern Mesopotamia, under King Arfaolg of the tribe of Ephraim. Whether Kelley constructed names of this kind from his own reading or received them as he claimed to is exactly the question the surviving record cannot settle: he had a criminal past and an evident financial motive, and he was also the only channel through which any of the material arrived, a tension that runs under the whole Enochian corpus.
