Andrew asked:
What is the appropriate planetary allocations for the direction of the winds for use in any Enochian invocation of any grade or hierarchy?
David Allen Hulse answered:
Using the Golden Dawn elemental attributes of the Sephirah on the Tree of Life and connecting these attributes to the four winds or directions according to Enochian symbolism, the following table displays the elements, planets and zodiac signs specific to each of the four directions. This is the most accurate allocation possible within the Golden Dawn magical tradition:
AIR
SUN(6th) / MOON(9th)
LEO / CANCER
SOUTH
FIRE
MARS(5th) / VENUS(7th)
ARIES & SCORPIO / TAURUS & LIBRA
WEST
WATER
JUPITER(4th) / MERCURY(8th)
SAGITTARIUS & PISCES / GEMINI & VIRGO
NORTH
EARTH
SATURN(3rd)
CAPRICORN & AQUARIUS
Andrew asked:
I have a question concerning the pronunciation of the Enochian Language. Are there any rules for pronunciation? How do you pronounce the angelic names of xgzd or iaoaia or cNba?
David Allen Hulse answered:
The pronunciation of Enochian used by the Golden Dawn as well as Aleister Crowley is based on the Hebrew letter names. Pronounce the Enochian letters like Hebrew. When two consonants come together without a vowel, pronounce each consonant separately as such:
GOLDEN DAWN ENOCHIAN PRONUNCIATION KEY
B = bay M= em or may X= ex or zah
C, K = kah I, Y, J = ee O= oh
G= gee H= hay R= er or ray
D= day L= el or lah Z= zod
F= ef P = pay U, V, W = oo or vah
A= ah Q= koh S= es or sah
E= ay N= en or nay T= tay
You give 3 examples of names extracted from the watchtowers that you wish to know how to pronounce : xgzd, iaoaia, and cNba.
By the Golden Dawn method these 3 angelic names are pronounced as follows.
xgzd= ex-gee-zod-day
iaoaia= ee-ah-oh-ah-ee-ah
cNba= kah-en-bay-ah or kah-en-ba
