of Padua, the Holy Infant of Prague, Saint Martin of Porres and Saint Benito. (2) Practitioners of
Santeria often have a hollow, stylized sculpture of a head, made of clay or cement and containing
materials particular to the person who possesses it (including the person's name), which is kept in a
cabinet by the entrance to the home or on the floor behind the front door. It usually has cowrie
shells to form the eyes, nose and mouth and always has a small blade protruding from its top. If it
was made by a Babalawo, it will also have a few green and yellow beads (the colours of Orunla)
around the base of this blade. It represents the Orisha Eleggua and is referred as "the Elegguá". It
is kept by the door because it is believed that Elegguá stands guard behind doors and opens or
closes the way to opportunity. The Elegguá is one of the things given to the initiate in the initiation
of The Warriors. The names of those persons who are causing trouble to the owner of the Elegguá
are often kept on strips of unlined paper under Elegguá's image.

Eleusian Mysteries: The most famous of the ancient Greek mysteries, celebrated in Eleusis, near
Athens. These mysteries can be traced back to 1800 B.C.E. and were continued over a 2000 year
period. It was a ritual drama re-enacting the myth of the search of the Goddess Demeter for her
daughter Persephone in the underworld of Hades after she was kidnapped by the God Hades, a story
which explained the changing of the seasons. There were two levels of initiation: A Lesser
Mystery and, for those who had undergone the initiation of the Lesser Mystery, a Greater or
Epoptaic Mystery, which explained the birth of the divine child Dionysius. Eleusis means "advent",
and it is possibly from this mystery that the Christian church got the idea of the advent, the birth of
the Christ child.

Enoch (var. Henoch): (1) In the Bible, Enoch was the son of Cain. Enoch was the seventh
patriarch of the Book of Genesis. He is the subject of several works of apocryphal literature, which
describe him as having received secret knowledge from Jehovah and to have written as many as
366 books. This mirrors the Babylonian myth of the king Enmenduranna, who received divine
revelations from the sun god. One can also see parallels between Enoch and Cadmus (Phoenician),
Hermes (Greek), and Thoth (Egyptian). In Genesis 5:24 Enoch is transported to heaven and
transformed into the angel Metatron (q.v.). Much of what Enoch relates in the Bible has to do with
23
Lexicon of Occult Terminology © 2010 Kerr Cuhulain
demons, who are referred to as sons of God, who (Gen 6:2,4) were attracted to the beauty of the
daughters of men. Enochian doctrine describes Biblical demons, whose leader, according to
Synoptic gospels, is Beelzebub. (2) Enoch is purported to be the author of many different texts.
There are three principal apocryphal works that involve Enoch: (a) The First or Ethiopic Book of
Enoch (Enoch I) is a pseudepigraphical work (in other words not included in any canon of Biblical
scripture). It is called "Ethiopic" because the only surviving version is an Ethiopic translation of an
earlier Greek text, which was in turn a translation of an even earlier Hebrew text. Part of it is the
"Apocalypse of Weeks", written about 168 BCE. Other portions appear to have been written by a
Jewish Christian in the 2nd century CE who wanted to use Enoch's name for his work to give it
authority. Much of it has to do with the fate of the soul after death. The First Book of Enoch was
originally accepted by the Christian Church but later excluded from Biblical canon. It contains six
sections: The Book of Enoch, the Parables, the Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries,
the Dream Visions, the Conclusion, and the Noah Fragments. (b) The Second or Slavonic Book of
Enoch (Enoch II), another pseudepigraphical work, also known as The Secrets of Enoch. It is called
Slavonic because the only surviving version is a Slavonic translation of an earlier Greek text. It is
dated by scholars to the 7th century CE, and may be based in part on fragments from as far back as
the 1st century BCE. It starts with a description of Enoch's travels through seven tiers of heaven,
goes on to describe how Enoch received wisdom from Jehovah, and then ends with Enoch's advice
to his sons. Neither the first book nor the second book are really grimoires, though they do discuss
heavenly structure and the inhabitants of this structure. (c) A version of the Hechaloth (q.v.)
known as 3 Enoch. A version was translated by Hugo Odeberg entitled 3 Enoch or the Hebrew
Book of Enoch, published by Cambridge University Press in New York in 1928. Others have made
claims over the years that Enoch was the author of the Tarot (q.v.), the Qabalah, and the Emerald
Tablet of Thoth. These claims are likely attempts by the real authors to lend some air of authority
to their works.
Enochian: (Cf. Enoch). (1) Enochian was an "angelic language" with a corresponding system of
magic created by the Elizabethan ceremonial magician John Dee and his medium Edward Kelley in
the 17th century C.E. Kelly would go into trance and spell out Enochian words revealed to him by
angels while Dee transcribed what Kelley said. Enochian has a corresponding magickal alphabet
(See the glossary of magickal alphabets at the end of this lexicon). Enochian is properly written
from right to left like a Semitic language, though in modern times casual users of Enochian
language or alphabets may write it from left to right as in European languages. One occasionally
finds numbers interspersed with letters in Enochian: 8, 21, 26 and 30. The number 21 is meant to
be read as a letter E and the other three numbers as a letter L. John Dee created an Enochian system
of magic, based on 48 "Keys" or "Calls" obtained in Enochian language through Kelly. (2)
Enochian language and magic was part of the system of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
According to Israel Regardie, the Order of the Golden Dawn considered Enochian magic to be the
"crown and jewel" of their system. (3) Anton LaVey claims that Enochian is a Satanic language
and Enochian language and "The Enochian Keys" are used in several invocations of the devil used
by Anton LaVey in his Satanic Bible. This has led some modern Christians call Satanic beliefs
"Enochian".

rabbit. It is from this festival and the name of this Germanic Goddess that the Christian festival of
Easter was derived. The system for fixing the date of the Christian festival of Easter is still based
on the date of March 21, being the first Sunday after the first full moon that occurs on or after
March 21.
