Compendium Heptarchiæ Mysticæ
of Dr. John Dee

Edited by Joseph H. Peterson, © Copyright 1999. Updated Jan 14, 2023.

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 Mysteriorum Libri Quinque. For the most part it is a draft version of Dee's slightly better known work, De Heptarchia Mystica, 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 De Heptarchia Mystica, to my knowledge this text has never been published or studied at length. The manuscript is the most difficult to read Dee manuscript I've examined; 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 [].

This work shall haue relation to tyme present, and present vse. To Mysteries far exceding it: And finally, to a purpose and Intent, Wherby the Maiestie and Name of God, shall, and may, and, of force must appeare; with the Apparition of his wonders, and mervayles yet unhard of.

Δ -- Note As Vriel and Michael at the begynning of this Art, were present and gaue Authoritie to Carmara to order the whole: so, at the Conclusion they appered againe, and Raphaël with them: and Michael concluded the ^second boke with these words: ¶Mercifull is our God, and glorious is his Name: which Chuseth his Creatures, according to his owne secret Iudgment and good pleasure. This Arte is the first part of a Threfold Arte, ioyning man, (with the knowledg of the 1. World, the 2. Gouernment of his Creatures, and the 3.

{Several additional paragraphs appear in HM, Sl. 3191.}

He that standeth in the myddst of the Globe signifieth NATURE: whereuppon in the first point, is the use and practise of this work: That is to say, as concerning the first part, for it is sayde:

The boke conteyneth three kinds of knowledges.

  • The knowledge of god truely
  • The number & doing of his Angells perfectly
  • The begynning and ending of Nature Substantially.

Δ Of John Dee his principall, and (in manner) peculiar Interest, to exercise the Doctrine of the boke Heptarchicall.

Vltima est hæc ætas vram, quæ tibi revelata erit. {Anno 1582 Uriel, Nouemb.} 15
The Mysteries of God haue a tyme: and behold, thow Δ art provyded for that tyme. Michael
The Sonnes of men Δ light, and theyr Sonnes are subiect unto my commanndement: This is a Mys{terie:} I haue spoken of it. Note it thorowghly: they are my Servants. By them Thow Δ shalt work mervayles. Hagonel, {No}vemb. 16.

I am Bornogo. This is my Seale, this my true Character. What thow Δ desyrest in me, shalbe fullfilled. Glory to God. Bornogo, {No}vemb. 16.
Behold, Behold, lo Behold my mighty powre consisteth in thys. Lerne wisdome by my words. This is wrowght for thy Δ erudition, what I instruct {hm: entrust} thé from God. Loke unto thy charge truely: Thow art yet dead. Thow shallt be revyved. But oh, blesse god truely. The blessing that God giveth me, I will bestow uppon thé, by permission {hm: "omission"}. Ô how mighty is our god, which walked on the waters, which sealed me with his name. Whose Glory is withoute ende. Thow hast written me, but yet dost not know me. Use me in the name of God: I shall at the tyme appoynted be ready. I will manifest the works of the Seas: and the miracles of the Deape, shall be known. {B}efafes, {eo}dem die
Behold, thow desyrest, and art syck with desyre: I am the disposer thowgh not the composer of Gods Medicines. Thow desyrest to be cumforted in thy labors and strengthened in thy labors: I mynister ^unto thé the strength of God. What I say is not of my self: neyther that which is sayd to me, is of them selves, but it is sayd of him which liueth for euer. These Mysteries hath God lastly, and of his great Mercyes graunted unto thee. I haue answered thy dowting mynde. Thow shailt be glutted, yea filled, yea thow shalt swell and be puffed up with the perfect knowledge of Gods Mysteries in his mercies. Carmara, die 17. {No}uemb.
Abuse them not. Be faithfull, Use Mercy. God shall enriche thé: Banish wrath: yt was the first*, and is the greatest commaundment. I rayng by him: and live by him, which rayngneth and liueth for euer. {* A}nnael gaue me ..e as ... appeares Anno 1581.
I haue shewed thé perfectly: Behold I teach thé agayn: O how mercifull is God that revealeth so great Secrets to flesh and blud. Thow hast 42 letters. Thy Tables last, conteyn so many &c. {C}armara. {di}e 17 Novemb.
Whan thow wilt work for any thing apperteyning unto the estate of a good King: Thow must first call uppon him, which is theyr prince. Secondly the ministers of his powre ar six &c. {C}armara eodem tempore.
In owtward sense, my words are true: I speak now of the use of one of the first, that I spak of; 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 [168r] 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. Kings there are in Nature, with Nature, and above Nature. Thow {art} Dignified. &c.

{eodem} tempore.
Last of all thy Ryng, which was appointed thé with the Lamyne comprehending the forme* of thy own name. Which is to be made in pf{ect} gold: as is affore sayde. {vi}de Ao ... {Ca}rmara: {eo}dem tempore.
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 thé 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 thé, but this worker* &c.

*E.K.
Finally God doth enriche thé 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 thé. God doth bless you both: whose mercy, goodnes and grace, I pronownce and utter uppon you. I haue sayd.
Dee, Dee, Dee, At length, but not to late.

Lo thus thow seest the Glory of Gods creatures: whom thow mayst use, with the consideration of the day, theyr King, theyr prince and his character: The King and Prince govern for the hole day: the rest according to the six parts of the day. Use them to the glory of God prayse and honor of him, which Created them, to the laude and prayse of his Maiestie. King Carmara, Novemb. 20.

One thing is yet wanting, a mete receptacle &c. There is yet wanting a stone. &c.
One there is most excellent, hid in the Secret of the depth &c. In the uttermost part of the Roman possession. &c. Lo the mighty hand of God, is uppon thé &c.

Thow shalt prevayle with it, with kings and with all Creatures of the world: whose beautie (in vertue) shall be more worth then the kingdomes of the earth &c. Go toward it and take it up &c. Kepe it sincerely: Let no mortall hand towch it but thy own.

King Carmara, Novemb. 21.

Grace, mercy and peace be unto the liuely branches of his florishing kingdome and strong art thow in thy glory, which dost unknytt the Secret parts of thy liuely workmanship: and that, before the weak understanding of man. Herein is thy powre & Magnificence opened unto man. And why? bycause thy Diuinitie and secret power, is here shut up in numero Ternario et Quaternario. A qo principium, et fundamentum omne huius est tui sanctissimi maximi (?) operis. For yf thow (O God) be wunderfull & incomprehensible in thyne owne substance, it must nedes follow, that thy works, are likewise incomprehensible.
But Lo, they shall now beleue, bycause they see: which heretof{ore} could skarsly beleue. Strong is the Influence of thy Supercelestiall powre: and mighty is the force of that arme, which overcommeth all things. Let all powre (therfore) rest in thé. Amen.

Leave oute the Bees of the seven names of the 7 kings, and 7 Princis. and place them in a Table diuided by 12 and 7. the 7 spaces, being uppermost: and therin write in the upper lyne, the let{ters} of the king, with th with the letters of his prince following, next after his name: and so of the Six other, and theyr princis. And read them on the right hand, from the upper part to the lowest. and thow shalt 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 and is allso manifest, in that Third and fowrth Number. {in marg: Number}

Rownd abowt the sides [of this square ^Table] is euery letter of the 14 na{mes,} [170r] of the 7 kings and princis.

Hereafter shall you perceyue that the Glory of this Table {surmownteth} the Glory of the Sonne. All things els that appertayne unto it, {are} allready prescribed by your former Instruction.

God is the begynning of all things, but not after one sort: Nor to euery One alike. But it is Three manner of works with his Name.
  • The One in respect of Dignification
  • The Second in respect of Conciliation
  • The Third in respect of an ende and determined Operati{on.}

Now, (Syr,) to what ende wold you wear your Character? &c.
Δ At our first dealings to gither it was answered by a Spirituall Creature, (whome we toke to be Uriel,) Sigillum hoc in auro sculpendum, ad defensionem Corporis omni loco, tempore et occasione, et in pectus gestandum.

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.

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 they are.

Δ - 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.

Δ 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.

Δ - 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.

Δ - Then stept furth one of the 40 from the rest: & opened his breast, which was covered with sylk and there appeared a great all of gold.

Mich - Note the number. Δ over the T, stode the Number of 4, on this fashion

Δ - The 40, cryed all cryed: Yt liueth and Multiplyeth for euer: blessed be his name.

Δ - That creature did shut up his bosome, and vanished away like a fyre.

Michael - Place that in the first place. It is the Name of the Lord.

Δ - Then there semed a great clap of Thunder to be &c.

Δ - And so furth. the whole second boke is nothing els but the Mysteries most Mervaylous of Sigillum Dei, otherwise called Sigillum Æmeth. 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 (?).

Caput 4.

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.



Note.
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 Δ Vltima est hæc ætas vestra quæ 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.

Uriel

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 of 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] Ministers

Note

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.
