Bestselling author & Magick Educator
B.A.
Jason Louv achieved rare fame in our field with his NETFLIX starring in Midnight Gospel, created by comedian Duncan Trussell. His writing has appeared in VICE, Boing Boing, and numerous other outlets. Louv pioneered the path with Magick.Me, his online school and has taught more than 16,000 students worldwide over 25+ years of practice and study.
His book John Dee & The Empire of Angels was an instant classic and re-ignited popular interest in the Enochian magic of the Elizabethan polymath Dr. John Dee & his alchemist scryer, Sir Edward Kelley.
Jason Louv joins the Arcane Research Society in Austin, Texas leading a workshop June 13th and also presenting at EnochiaCon 6-8th November.
June 13th Workshop Live online & in-person in Austin, Texas
Every advanced Enochian practitioner knows the Calls, Watchtowers and Sigillum.
Almost none have worked the system Dee pursued before the angelic actions began — the system that may have opened them.
In March 1582, during his first recorded session with Edward Kelley, John Dee asked:
“Ys my boke, of Soyga, of any excellency?... Oh, my great and long desyre hath byn to be hable to read those tables of Soyga.”
Uriel answered that only Michael could interpret them – yet Dee never received the interpretation.
The Book of Soyga disappeared in 1608 and remained lost until it was rediscovered by Deborah Harkness in 1994.
In 1998, researchers proved its 1,296-letter tables were algorithmically generated. No published operational reading method followed. In this session, we will:
Generate Soyga tables by hand
Test three competing reading protocols
Perform scrying actions on extracted results
Compare symbolic and visionary outputs
Produce a shared document of every participant’s findings
This is a working session: Three hours focused on a 444-year-old unresolved problem.
Bring a pen, a code word, and the willingness to solve a 444-year-old mystery yourself... in an afternoon.
Enochian Magick and the Roots of the Modern World
John Dee and the Empire of Angels plunges into the strange and luminous world of Renaissance magus John Dee: mathematician, astrologer, spy, and advisor to Queen Elizabeth I. Blending historical investigation with occult intrigue, the book traces Dee’s attempts to communicate with angels through the mysterious Enochian system, revealing how mysticism, politics, empire, and science were once fused into a single dazzling worldview. It reads like a secret history wired directly into the foundations of the modern age.
“Our current magical revival is largely defined by the restoration of context. It is pleasing to see Dee and Kelley put back into the historical currents that they both defined and were defined by, where they can come alive once again after more than a century’s relegation to the cabinets of Victorian orders. The Queen’s conjuror returns to Mortlake.”
― Gordon White, author of Pieces of Eight, blogger and podcast host of Rune Soup
“Any biographical treatment of John Dee must be nothing less than epic--and Jason Louv has gloriously achieved this in John Dee and the Empire of Angels, a truly comprehensive, broad-spectrum, and lavishly beautiful historical study of the master magus and the counter-current of secret history Dee launched into the world, which has affected us all.”
― Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of Occult America and The Miracle Club
“A crazy plunge into the weird world of angels and those brave or foolish enough to try to contact them. Be prepared, for this book illuminates the dark corners of history that many institutions would prefer to go unexplored and unmentioned--I’m thankful for the angels that aided Jason in his creation of this mind-spinning, glorious work of occult genius.”
― Duncan Trussell, host of The Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast
“Renaissance magus John Dee boldly set out to systematically tap the mind of God by communicating directly with a complex hierarchy of ‘angelic’ intelligences. It can be argued that he succeeded. His magical diaries have long held intense fascination among Qabalists, alchemists, and explorers of human consciousness who have developed workable magical systems from these records. Jason Louv’s work succeeds, with breathtaking thoroughness, to tell this amazing and true magical tale. More importantly, he also reveals the profound geopolitical significance of Dee’s magical explorations--effects that still shape the global realities of today.”
― Lon Milo DuQuette, author of Enochian Vision Magick
