The most important sourcebook for Enochian magic – John Dee's own private writings and records of his magical workings with Edward Kelly.
 
This book is perhaps the best available edition of John Dee's own private writings and records of the occult workings which led to the mystical reception of the magical system known as Enochian magic and the keys to its mysterious language. The Mysteriorum Libri Quinque, or Five Books of Mystical Exercises, cover the period between March 1582 and May 1583, a fruitful time in Dee's magical workings with the scryer Edward Kelly. This new edition of the Five Books is by far the most accessible, accurate and complete edition to date, and is the work of Joseph H. Peterson, whose editorship of Western occultism's most important texts and grimoires is respected and acclaimed. The Five Books are among the core texts of Enochian magic, and is a classic of the Western esoteric tradition. This is essential for anyone interested in the work of John Dee and the Enochian system of magic.
