Bartimaeus Black is a spiritual practitioner of over a decade's experience. He has reached the point that he believes the secrets of these processes need to be shared with the world, to improve the spiritual and material state of mankind. A practicing Christian Gnostic, who has studied works spanning the Neo-Platonic traditions of Hermeticism as well as Hebrew Kabbalah, he offers unique insight and encouragement for everyone looking to expand their spiritual horizons.
The Holy Guardian Angel is oft-misrepresented in modern occultism, whether as a Jungian Self, Theosophical “Higher Self,” some sort of former human who has become deified, “Myself made perfect,” or as a simple familiar spirit.
My presentation will give a fresh perspective on this contentious area of magickal discussion and practice, including the nature of the angel in Kabbalistic terminology from personal experience and discussions with the spirits. My belief is that Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelly shared guardian angels who manifested to them as both the Archangel Michael, as well as Madimi. This is predicated on the role of the first angel as the initiator of the Enochian system by giving Dr. Dee the PELE ring, which opened up the rest of the communications; as well as Madimi’s presence as protector and guide in other areas of the system and the pair’s personal life. Following Agrippa’s quoting of St. Jerome that God grants us all multiple angels for our protection and assistance, it is plausible that these two spirits in particular served as the guardians for this pair of magicians, especially considering the wife-swapping incident wherein they were to become a unified being.
