The Enochian system originated with the ceremonial skrying of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelly toward the end of the sixteenth century in England. Dr. Dee was one of the foremost thinkers of his time—a Hermetic philosopher/magician who was also a respected scientist, mathematician, and astronomer. He was also Queen Elizabeth’s court astrologer. His personal library rivaled that of any in England at the time.

BRIGIT OF THE CELTS

Brigit was one of the great Triple Goddesses of the Celtic people.  She appeared as Brigit to the Irish, Brigantia in Northern England,  Bride in Scotland, and Brigandu in Brittany. Many legends are told  about Brigit. Some say that there are three Brigits : one sister in  charge of poetry and inspiration who invented the Ogham alphabet,  one in charge of healing and midwifery, and the third in charge of the  hearth fire, smithies and other crafts. This catually indicates the  seperate aspects of her Threefold nature and is a neat division of  labor for a hard-working goddess.
