(*4e3d9761*):: Holy shit check out this story. It reads like an alien abduction from the 1500 but angels instead of aliens. This guy was taught a whole alphabet by these “angels”. Looks similair to alien script. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enochian
*** Enochian
*** Enochian ( ə-NOH-kee-ən) is an occult constructed language — said by its originators to have been received from angels — recorded in the private journals of John Dee and his colleague Edward Kelley in late 16th-century England. Kelley was a scryer who worked with Dee in his magical investigations. The language is integral to the practice of Enochian magic.
The language found in Dee’s and Kelley’s journals encompasses a limited textual corpus. Linguist Donald Laycock, an Australian Skeptic, studied the Enochian journals, and argues against any extraordinary features. The untranslated texts of the Liber Loagaeth manuscript recall the patterns of glossolalia rather than true language. Dee did not distinguish the Liber Loagaeth material from the translated language of the Calls, which is more like an artificial language. This language was called Angelical by Dee and later came to be referred to as ‘Enochian’ by subsequent writers. The phonology and grammar resemble English, though the translations are not sufficient to work out any regular morphology. Some Enochian words resemble words and proper names in the Bible, but most have no apparent etymology.Dee’s journals also refer to this language as “Celestial Speech”, “First Language of God-Christ”, “Holy Language”, or “Language of Angels”. He also referred to it as “Adamical” because, according to Dee’s angels, it was used by Adam in Paradise to name all things. The term “Enochian” comes from Dee’s assertion that the Biblical patriarch Enoch had been the last human (before Dee and Kelley) to know the language.
(*4cfb807c*):: Yup Dr. John Dee is a fascinating rabbit hole
(*4cfb807c*):: He had the largest known library of Elizabethan england at the time
(*4cfb807c*):: His skryer had no ears, which at the time period, means he was a thief or a known busimess fraud who was punished w/ ears getting chopped off. His skryer suggested a reading said he should sleep w/ Dee’s hot younger wife, and Dee obliged him to no effect, according to journals (?)
(*4cfb807c*):: The enochian alphabet as described, was created by the above mentioned Skryer who used a piece of special polished obsidian that Dee had acquired called the “show stone”, which is on display to this day in the Buckingham palace museum (or it was until at least the 00’s)
(*4cfb807c*):: Dee was also an advanced astrologer, and he was suit after in Elizabethan england and Europe for the accuracy of his readings in many affairs
(*4cfb807c*):: Correction, the “shew stone”
