How to speak Enochian

The pronunciation of Enochian, as taught by both the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley, is similar to Hebrew. Ten major rules to remember are:

1. Most consonants have an e or eh added; for example the letter B is pronounced beh and the letter K as keh.

2. Most vowels have an h added; for example, the letter A is pronounced ah.

3. The Enochian word SOBHA is pronounced in three syllables as soh-beh-hah. This is the general rule for words.

4. The letter G can be either hard as in the word gimel or soft as in jimel.

5. The letters Y and I are interchangable, as are the letters V and U. The letters j and w are seldom used.

6. The letter X can be like the s in samekh, or like the tz in tzaddi.

7. The letter S can be proounced either as ess or seh.

8. The letter R can be pronounced either as rah, reh, or ar.

9. The letter Z is pronounced as zodor Zeh. It is interchangable with the letter S.

10. The vowel I is pronounced as ee.

Examples of Name Pronouncements

Correctly pronouncing the names of the gods, spirits, and rulers of the quadrants and Aethyrs, is critical in order to obtain satisfactory magickal results. As a rule of thumb, the syllables should flow together easily and poetically--almost like a song. Seldom is a harsh or sharp sound made.

The reciting aloud of these names should be like speaking mantras; each should be intoned in one long flowing breath. As an example, recite the name of a Senior of Air, HABIORO. This should be done in a single smooth breath. Say, Hah-bee-oh-roh. The mouth should make four distinct syllables with this name. During an invocation of this Senior, the magician must focus his/her mind on the qualities of HABIORO, while repeating her/his name in four melodious syllables.

Some names are subject to several possible spellings. This is because some squares on the Watchtowers contain multiple letters. As a general rule, pronunciation should include all letters, or the highest whenever only one is desired (the multiple letters are given like a fraction with a higher and lower row). However, there are exceptions to this rule.

An example here is the name of the great King of Earth IKZHIKAL. This name can also be spelled IKZHHHAL, IKZHIHAL, and IKZHHKAL because the squares give IKZHi/h h/kAL where the fifth and sixth letters are multiple. The best way of pronouncing this King's name is to choose the variant spelling that has the most meaningful gematric value. In this case, this is Ee-keh-zod-hee-kal, or Ee-keh-zeh-hee-kal.

HOW TO VIBRATE THE NAMES
*************************************

In addition to pronunciation, some names should be vibrated. This is especially important during invocations. When a name is to be vibrated, the speaker must imagine the sound of the name going outward from himself into the farthest reaches of the universe. As the name is being pronounced verbally, it must be projected outward mentally. After verbal pronunciation, the magician should still be able to "hear" the name psychically and "see" the name expand over the Watchtowers and Aethyrs. The vibration of a name requires full concentration.
