It is therefore not quite certain in what the efficacy of conjurations really lies. The Devil appeared, and almost scared him out of his life.

Its source has hitherto baffled research, but it is a language and not a jargon, for it Dee (vide Equinox I, VIII) are in a language called Angelic, or Enochian. ForĮxample, we find "Osorronnophris" for "Asor Un-Nefer". The "preliminary invocation" in the "Goetia" consists principally of corruptions of Greek and Egyptian names. "It is found by experience (confirming the statement of Zoroaster) that the most potent conjurations are those in an ancient and perhaps forgotten language, or even those couched in a corruptĪnd possibly always meaningless jargon.
