Arguing with Angels: Enochian Magic and Modern Occulture

Egil Asprem's history traces the documented reception of John Dee's angelic system across four centuries, from its Renaissance origins in Dee and Kelley's own manuscripts, including De Heptarchia Mystica, through the Victorian occult revival and the Golden Dawn's own Enochian curriculum into present-day occulture, working from that named documentary chain rather than treating Enochian magic as timeless. This record states its real scope honestly: the book covers the Heptarchia's place within Dee's own system and its later reception, but does not carry the manuscript-transcription detail of a dedicated primary edition for every named Heptarchical king and prince, which is why it is cited here as supplementary alongside the primary Sloane manuscript edition rather than as sole authority. Use it for the documented reception history of Dee's angelic system across these named periods.
