Compendium Heptarchi& Mystic&
of Dr. John Dee
Edited by Joseph H. Peterson, & Copyright 1999.
Introduction
This book consists of detailed instructions for communicating
with angels and employing their aid for practical purposes.
Written in the form of a personal Grimoire, or handbook of magic,
it consists of excerpts and elaborations from Dee's
detailed records of his &mystical exercises&
found in .
For the most part it is a draft version of Dee's slightly better known work,
, and like it describes
details of Dee's and Kelley's magical workings that occurred prior to
the well known records published by Meric Casaubon (as
A True and Faithful Relation of what passed for many yeers
between Dr. John Dee ... and some spirits, 1659.)
The latter, of course, was used and elaborated on by the founders
of the Golden Dawn, and has come to be known as Enochian magic.
The present manuscript is in Dee's own handwriting, and is now preserved in the
British Library under the catalog number Additional MS. 36674.
While very similar to ,
to my knowledge this text has never been published or studied at
The manuscript is the most difficult to read Dee manuscript I' it
contains some of Dee's worst handwriting, and is very faded and damaged
in places. Nevertheless, I believe it has been worth the effort of editing,
as it contains some valuable material not found elsewhere.
Of special interest are the details it fills in from the lost
beginning of Quartus Liber Mysteriorum, which provide
insight into the mysterious Covenant Table, the ornate chair, and the
globe used thereafter.
It also assigns planets to the Filij lucis
(&sons of light&) and the Filij filiorum (&sons of the sons&).
There is also a table of letters with 24 columns and 13 rows, which
I have not identified in any other source, and may be unique.
This text also allows us to fix its date, May 30, 1588.
It was a time when few spiritual actions were recorded, while Dee was still
on the Continent (he returned to England in 1589.)
A few days earlier Dee
recorded in his diary that Edward Kelley &did open the great secret to me,
God be thanked!&
This manuscript also offers
some insight into Dee's editorial process.
I have consequently included
all of Dee's editorial marks, crossed out text (here indicated
in strikeout font), and intralinear corrections (here indicated
in superscript font).
My editorial notes, and damaged text filled in from Sl. 3188 and Sl. 3191
are indicated by {} since Dee uses [].

In owtward sense, my words are true: I speak now of the use of
one of the first, that I or manifested yesterday. Sayd I not, and
shewed I not, which had the government of Princes? for as it is a Mysterie
to a farder matter, so is it a purpose to a present use. Yf it rule worldly
princis, how much more shall it work with the Princis of Creation?
Thow desyrest use. I teach use. And yet the Art is to the farder understanding
of all sciences, that are past, present, or yet to come.
Frute hath farder vertue, then onely in the eating: Gold his {farder}
condition, property and quality, then in melting, or common use.

Thow shalt be cumforted. But respect the world to come: Whereunto thow
art provyded, and for what ende: and that, in what tyme. Serve god
truely, Serve him justly. Great care is to be had, with those that meddle
with princis affayres: Much more consideration, with whome thow
shallt meddle, or use any practise. But God hath shadowed th& from
destruction. He preserveth his faithful, and shaddoweth the iust, wth
a sheld of honor. None shall enter into the knowledg of thes
mysteries with th&, but this worker* &c.
Finally God doth enriche th& with knowledg: and of thy self hath given the
understanding of these worldly vanities. He is mercifull: And
we his good Creatures, neyther haue, do, nor will forget th&.
God doth bless you both: whose mercy, goodnes and grace, I
pronownce and utter uppon you. I haue sayd.

finde, then, the Composition of this Table. Therin they are all
comprehended, sauing certayn letters, which are not to be put-in here:
By reason that the Kings, and Princis do spring from God: and
not God from the Kings and Princis: Which Excellency is comprehended

God is the begynning of all things, but not after one soft: Nor to euery
One alike. But it is Three manner of works with
The One in respect of Dignification

D At our first dealings to gither it was answered by a Spirituall Creature,
(whome we toke to be Uriel,)

Il - But how do I teach? The Character is an Instrument appliable
Onely to dignification. But there is no Dignification (Syr) but
that which doth procede, and hath his perfect composition Centrally, in the
Square number of 3 and 4. The Center wherof shall be equall to the
greatest. Hereby you may gather, Not onely to what ende, the
Blessed Character (wherewith thow shalt be dignifyed) is prepared: but allso
the Nature of all other Characters.

Prince according to theyr order.
Now to the last - D - As concerning the ende and determined

what his Mysteries are: The true Circle of his &ternitie:
comprehending all vertue: The whole and Sacred Trinitie:
Oh holy be he: Oh holy be he: Oh holy be he.
Michael, 1582, Mart& 19.
Uriel answered, Amen.
Mich - Now, what wilt thow? D - I wold full fayne procede
according to the matter in hand.
Mich - Diuide this owtward Circle into 40 equall partes: whose
greatest numbers are 4. See thow do it presently - D - I did so
diuiding it first into 4, and then every of them, into 10.
He called one by name Semiel.
One cam in and kneled down: and great fyre came out of his mowth.
Michael sayd: To him are the Mysteries of these Tables known.
Michael sayd, Semiel, (agayn) and by and by heMichael sayd, O God thow
hast sayd, and thow liuest for euer. &c. Do not think here to
speak to him.
Semiel stode up, and flaming fyre cam
out of his mowth, and than he saide, as followeth.
Sem - Mighty lord, what woldst thow with the Tables?
Mich - It is the will of God Thow fatch them hither.
Sem - I am his Tables. Behold these are his tables: Lo where
D - There cam-in 40 white Creatures, all in white silk long robes,
and they like Children. And all they falling on theyr knees, sayd:
Thow onely art holy among the Highest, O God thy Name
be blessed for euer.
D Michael stode up out of his Chayre, and by and by all his legs,semed
to be like two great pillers of brass: and he as high as half way to
heven: And by & by his sworde was all on fyre: & he stroke or drew
his sword over all these 40 ^theyr heds. The erth quaked: And
the 40 fell down. And Michael called Semiel with a Thundring
voyce & sayd, Declare the Mysteries of the Liuing God,
Our God, of One that Liueth for euer.
Sem - I am ready.
D - Michael stroke ouer them with his sword: and they all fell down
(& Uriel ap allso) on his knees. And commonly at the striking
with the sword, flaming fyre, (like lightening) did flash with all.
Michael - Note. here is a Mysterie.
D - Then stept furth one of the 40 from the rest: &
opened his breast, which was covered with sylk and there appeared
all of gold.
Mich - Note the number. D over the T, stode the Number
of 4, on this fashion
D - The 40, cryed all cryed: Yt liueth and Multiplyeth for euer:
blessed be his name.
D - That creature did shut up his bosome, and vanished away like
Michael - Place that in the first place. It is the Name of the Lord.
D - Then there semed a great clap of Thunder to be &c.
D - And so furth. the whole second boke
is nothing els but the Mysteries most
Mervaylous of Sigillum Dei, otherwise
called Sigillum &AEmeth. wherof here I did
here but leave some ????y {HM reads: admonishement}, &c.
Note allso, the Third boke was chiefly of the 7
ensignes of Creation. &c. mentioned in
this Chapter of in the ^?????? of orations (?).
Some Notice of peculier formes, wherein the Kings,
Princis, and Ministers Heptarchicall appeared.
King CARMARA
Appeared as a man, very well proportioned: in a long purple Robe,
and with a Triple Crowne of Gold on his hed.
At his first comming in, he had 7 ^like men waighting on him: which
afterwarde declared them selves to be 7 princis under the
7 Heptarchicall Kings.
Uriel deliuered to him, at his first appearing, (which he kept
still in his hand) a rod, or straight little rownd staf of gold
diuided into three distinctions: whereof two were dark, or blak,
and the Third, bright red.
At the first, Uriel pluckt a thing from under the ^Covenant Table: and it
grew Rownd, Bigger & bigger, (of fyrie Cullour) bigger then
all the world: and ^he sayd to me D Vltima est h&c &tas vestra
qu& tibi revelata erit. Then cam swarming into the stone, Thowsand
yea Inumerable people, Uriel sayd, Est in mundo, et cum incipiet
cum illo alter Mundus. and he bad, Note the forme of the thing seen.
Note the cullour. The forme of the thing seen was a Globe
Transparent fyre within which the people seemed to stand, Towers
and Castells. &c. did appere therein, likewise. This Globe did
king CARMARA seeme to go uppon, & to measure it: and there
appeared a very riche chayre to be set: allmost at the top of the Convexitie
of the sayd Globe. wherein he sat down.
Prince HAGONEL
Note. All the 7 Princis, seemed to ^be men, and to haue red robes, but this
Prince, his Robe, was shorter then the others. They had all Cerclets
above on theyr heds,
he had a rownd Ring with a prik in the myddle which
he affirmed to be his seale. The name therof he sayde
to be Barees, and that it is .
The Sonns of light men and theyr Sonns, are Subiect unto his commaundement.
They are his Servants. Their Apparition appereth, the first 7 like
little boyes yong men, the other 7 like little boys. [loke on the other side]
MinistersFilij LucisFilij filiorum lucis???erte (?) filiam (?)
King Carmara, did first Call the Princis .7. before him: and
they stode three on one side of him, and three on the other:
But this Prince Hagonel, he toke, and set him in the
myddle before him, as he sat in the Chayre, on the Convexity of
the Transparent fyrie Globe. And after ward he called but
five kings: for he him self, supplyed two places of Kings,
governing on Monday, and fryday. Blumaza he dyd
not ones speak of: I know, not yet, the Mystery therof.
