Coronzon

According to Meric Casaubon’s ‘True and Faithful Relation…’ this is the spirit entity that can be found residing within the tenth Enochian Aethyr ZAX, reached by using one of the 48 Enochian calls.

The Enochian system of ceremonial magic was the result of the crystal scrying exercises carried out by the 16th century Elizabethan astrologer and Magus John Dee while working with seer Edward Kelly. Although Casaubon’s book records the name as Coronzon the more famous spelling of the name is Choronzon, noting the additional H. This spelling was created by the Magician and supposed ‘wickedest man in the world’ Aleister Crowley. It is unclear as to exactly why Crowley chose to add the letter H. but it may be in order to fit the Coronzon into his own geomatric calculations.

Further to this question of spelling, a recent examination of the original Dee diaries has revealed that the name is actually Coronzom, noting the final letter is M not N.
