It is not quite clear how much of Enochian magick was put to use by Dee and Kelly. However, rediscovery of Enochian magick by the Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn has sparked remarkable publicity for it in modern occultism. Aleister Crowley, who worked with, and wrote about, Enochian magick extensively, has contributed much to its comparatively widespread use today.
Enochian magick today
Compared to other theories of magic, Enochian magick is strikingly more complex and difficult to understand. This has allowed numerous interpretations to arise, some of which have solidified into schools of thought with individual bodies of interpretative literature. Almost all schools agree, however, in that Enochian magick is a particularly powerful and dangerous form of magic.
Some practitioners hold that Enochian magick is inherently destructive to the magician. In particular, its use is forbidden for members of the Builders of the Adytum and Servants of the Light.
