What Is Enochian and Why Is It Dangerous for Christians?
Enochian: A Biblical Warning About “Angelic” Magic, Occult Language, and Forbidden Spirit Contact
Enochian is an occult system connected to an alleged “angelic language,” spirit communication, scrying, ritual magic, magical tables, invocations, and attempts to gain hidden knowledge from spiritual beings. It is often presented as “angelic,” “high magic,” “sacred language,” or “communication with angels,” but Christians must test the source. The Bible makes it clear that not every spirit is from God.
1 John 4:1 KJV says:
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God…”
The danger with Enochian is that it claims to communicate with angels, but it was received through occult methods, including scrying and séances. That places it under the biblical warnings against divination, familiar spirits, and occult practices.
Where Did Enochian Come From?
Enochian came from the late 1500s through the work of John Dee and Edward Kelley in England. Dee was a scholar, mathematician, astrologer, and adviser connected to Queen Elizabeth I’s court. Edward Kelley was a scryer or medium who worked with Dee during their spiritual experiments.
Britannica says John Dee sought “divine assistance” by attempting to converse with angels, and that Dee and Kelley held numerous séances in England and on the Continent between 1583 and 1589.
The Enochian language itself is described as an occult constructed language said by Dee and Kelley to have been received from angels, recorded in Dee’s private journals in the late 16th century. It became central to Enochian magic.
Who Is the Founder of Enochian?
The founders of Enochian are commonly identified as John Dee and Edward Kelley. Dee recorded the material, while Kelley served as the scryer who claimed to see and receive messages from spirits or angels.
For your article, you can say:
Enochian was developed through the occult work of John Dee and Edward Kelley in the late 1500s. They claimed the language and magical system were received from angels, but the method involved scrying, séances, spirit communication, and occult ritual practices, which the Bible forbids.
Why Is It Called “Enochian”?
The name comes from the biblical figure Enoch, but this does not make the practice biblical. Dee believed this was an ancient angelic or Adamic language, and later writers called it “Enochian” because of Dee’s claim that the patriarch Enoch had once known the language.
This is important: using a biblical name does not make an occult practice holy. Satan often disguises deception with religious language.
2 Corinthians 11:14 KJV says:
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”
What Is Enochian Used For?
Enochian may be used for:
Ritual magic
Scrying
Calling on spirits
Invoking angels
Opening “gates” or “watchtowers”
Seeking hidden knowledge
Receiving revelation outside of Scripture
Occult initiation
Magical protection
Divination
Astrology-based magic
Ceremonial magic
Spirit communication
Occult language work
Visionary experiences
Attempting to gain supernatural power
Some occult practitioners believe Enochian is a powerful system for accessing spiritual realms, angels, elemental forces, or hidden wisdom. Christians must understand that the Holy Spirit does not lead believers into occult language, spirit communication, magic tables, or ritual invocations.
Why Is Enochian Against God’s Word?
Enochian is against God’s Word because it involves occult communication, divination, spirit contact, magical ritual, and seeking hidden knowledge outside of God.
Deuteronomy 18:10–12 KJV says:
“There shall not be found among you any one that… useth divination… or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits… For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD.”
Enochian involves the same forbidden categories: spirit communication, divination, magical language, and occult ritual.
Leviticus 19:31 KJV says:
“Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them…”
Even if a spirit calls itself an angel, that does not mean it is from God. Familiar spirits can imitate light, wisdom, revelation, and angelic messages.
Colossians 2:18 KJV warns:
“Let no man beguile you of your reward… worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen…”
Enochian is especially dangerous because it centers around alleged angelic contact and hidden spiritual knowledge.
Galatians 1:8 KJV says:
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you… let him be accursed.”
Even an “angelic” message must be rejected if it leads away from the truth of Jesus Christ and the Word of God.
Why Would Someone Get Involved in Enochian?
People may become involved in Enochian because it feels powerful, mysterious, intellectual, ancient, angelic, or spiritual. Some are attracted to it through ceremonial magic, occult books, online occult communities, tarot, astrology, witchcraft, Freemasonry-related esoteric studies, Kabbalah, or “angel magic.”
People may get involved because of:
Curiosity
Desire for hidden knowledge
Desire for supernatural power
Fascination with angels
Interest in ceremonial magic
Occult study
Spiritual pride
Rebellion against God’s Word
Desire to contact spirits
Desire for visions or revelations
Attraction to secret languages
Desire to feel chosen or initiated
Trauma and desire for control
New Age or witchcraft influence
The enemy often uses “angelic” language to make forbidden spirit contact seem holy.
How Does Enochian Hurt a Christian Who Dabbles With It?
A Christian who dabbles in Enochian is not simply studying another language. They are entering a system connected to spirit communication, scrying, séances, magical tables, and occult invocations.
1 Corinthians 10:21 KJV says:
“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils…”
Enochian can hurt a Christian by:
Opening doors to familiar spirits
Bringing false angelic encounters
Increasing nightmares or spiritual torment
Weakening discernment
Creating spiritual pride
Drawing the believer into ritual magic
Replacing prayer with invocation
Creating obsession with hidden knowledge
Leading to deception, confusion, and fear
Opening doors to divination and witchcraft
Producing counterfeit revelation
Blocking intimacy with the Holy Spirit
Creating bondage to occult symbols, tables, and words
The believer does not need Enochian calls, angelic keys, watchtowers, magical squares, or spirit messages. The believer needs the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ.
What Curses Can Come on a Christian Through Enochian?
From a deliverance perspective, involvement in Enochian can open doors to curses and spiritual bondage. These may include:
A curse of divination — seeking hidden knowledge through forbidden spiritual sources.
A curse of familiar spirits — spirits imitating angels, guides, wisdom, or revelation.
A curse of witchcraft — using ritual magic, invocations, occult tables, or spiritual manipulation.
A curse of false revelation — receiving counterfeit messages, visions, or “angelic” instruction.
A curse of confusion — difficulty discerning the Holy Spirit from deceiving spirits.
A curse of spiritual pride — feeling superior because of secret knowledge or occult initiation.
A curse of fear and torment — nightmares, oppression, dread, or strange manifestations.
A curse of double-mindedness — trying to follow Jesus while practicing occult magic.
A curse of angel worship — fascination with angels rather than devotion to Christ.
A curse of spiritual blindness — calling occult communication “holy” or “angelic.”
A curse of bondage to symbols and words — dependence on Enochian calls, keys, tables, or scripts.
A curse of generational occultism — inherited patterns of spiritism, magic, divination, or secret societies.
The good news is that Jesus Christ breaks every curse.
Galatians 3:13 KJV says:
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us…”
What Should a Christian Do?
A Christian should repent, renounce Enochian, reject false angelic communication, and remove occult materials connected to Enochian magic, angel magic, scrying, ritual magic, occult scripts, and spirit contact.
Renounce:
Enochian magic
Enochian calls and keys
Scrying
Séances
Spirit communication
False angelic messages
Angelic magic
Watchtowers
Magical tables
Occult alphabets
Ritual invocations
Divination
Ceremonial magic
Familiar spirits
False revelation
Secret knowledge
Angel worship
Occult books, tools, symbols, and scripts
Acts 19:19 KJV says:
“Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men…”
When believers came out of occult practices, they separated from them completely.
Prayer of Renunciation
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I repent for any involvement with Enochian magic, Enochian calls, angelic keys, scrying, séances, spirit communication, ritual magic, occult alphabets, false angelic contact, watchtowers, magical tables, divination, and familiar spirits.
I renounce every agreement I made knowingly or unknowingly with Enochian, John Dee’s occult system, Edward Kelley’s spirit communication, angel magic, false revelation, secret knowledge, spiritual pride, and counterfeit light.
I break every curse connected to Enochian magic, false angels, familiar spirits, divination, witchcraft, occult language, ceremonial magic, and generational occultism. I declare that Jesus Christ is my Lord, my Savior, my Deliverer, and my only source of truth and revelation.
Every spirit attached to Enochian, false angelic messages, familiar spirits, divination, witchcraft, fear, torment, confusion, spiritual pride, and occult bondage must leave me now in the name of Jesus Christ.
Holy Spirit, cleanse my mind, dreams, imagination, language, discernment, and spiritual hearing. Close every occult door and fill every place where darkness had access. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Final Word
Enochian may be called “angelic,” but Christians must not be deceived by spiritual language. The Bible does not tell believers to use occult alphabets, scrying, séances, magical tables, or angelic invocations to receive revelation.
God has given us His Word, His Spirit, and His Son.
John 14:6 KJV says:
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life…”
