5 Ancient Artifacts of Unexplained Magic

December 5, 2023

Enoan, also known as the language of angels, is a mysterious language that was first recorded in the journals of John Dee, a mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, and occultist who claimed to have communicated with angels in 1581.

Dee and his assistant Edward Kelly developed the unique language, complete with its own alphabet and syntax, which they called Enochian after the biblical patriarch Enoch. Dee's collection of artifacts, including a claw glass and a crystal allegedly given to him by the Archangel Uriel, are on display at the Royal College of Physicians in London.

The crystal was instrumental in Dee and Kelly's alchemical endeavors, particularly in their quest to create the philosopher's stone. The language has been widely adopted by occultists, including Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, and modern-day occultists are still trying to reconstruct the fragmented Enochian language.

Dice divination, also known as astragalomancy, is a method of divination using dice marked with letters or numbers, which was widely practiced in ancient Greece.

The numbers derived from the dice rolls were linked to letters forming words that provided answers to the diviner's questions, often believed to be messages from the gods. Ancient dice dating from the 2nd century BC to the 4th century AD are on display at prominent museums such as the Louvre, the British Museum, and the Met.
