“Enochian” language: A proof of the existence of angels?

Elizabethan England hosted many interesting and influential personalities, from Francis Bacon, Walter Raleigh and Francis Drake to Herbert Spencer, Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. In this milieu we also find the eccentric philosopher and scientist John Dee. He collected the empire’s biggest library, and his contributions to mathematics, cartography and navigation greatly influenced the age of English exploration and discovery.

Together with the alchemist Edward Kelley he conducted magical rituals in order to commune with the heavenly messengers. The result was a series of letter tables and verses in a previously unknown language. A proof of the existence of angels?
