Tocarzi, Enochian Governor: a seal to hold and wear

What an Enochian Governor is

Enochian work, as received through John Dee and Edward Kelley, includes a system of Governors: angelic governors set over the parts of the earth. Tocarzi is the fifty-first of the Enochian governors. That number is not a ranking of importance. It is a place in the system, and a practitioner who works with the Governors will know that place matters because the system as a whole matters: each Governor belongs to a larger order, and working with one Governor is work within that order, not an isolated contact.

If you are new to Enochian work, a Governor seal is not the best first step. The Enochian system has its own calls, tables, and order of working, and a seal from within it is used inside that order, by someone who knows it or is studying it under guidance. An article like this can describe the seal, how it is made, and how a seal is generally worked with. It cannot replace the study of the system itself, and it does not try to.

Why a seal, in Enochian work

A seal in Enochian work serves the same broad purpose as a seal in other grimoire traditions: it gives the practitioner a definite point of focus for a particular entity, in this case a Governor, and it marks the working as being about that Governor and that matter, rather than about Enochian work in general. The seal gathers the eye and the hand. It gives attention somewhere to rest, and somewhere to return to, when the mind wanders during a longer working.

That focus is especially valuable in Enochian work, where the material itself, the calls, the letters, the tables, is dense and demanding. A practitioner who is holding a well-made seal, or has it set out before them, has one less thing to hold in memory alone. The seal carries the identity of the Governor in visible form, so that the practitioner's attention can go to the words and the working itself, rather than to keeping the name and form in mind unaided.

Preparation for Governor work

Preparation for work with a Governor seal begins with clarity about the system you are working in and the purpose of the particular working. State the purpose in one plain sentence, in your own words, and check that it belongs to the kind of work the Governors are approached for in your understanding of the system. If you cannot state it plainly, study the point further before proceeding, or ask a teacher you trust. A seal does not compensate for a working whose purpose you have not yet understood.

Then prepare yourself and the space in the ordinary, careful way that ceremonial work requires: a time when you can give full attention, a cleared space, the materials your system calls for, and a few quiet minutes before you begin, so that the working starts from steadiness. Enochian workings are long and exacting by nature, and they repay a practitioner who arrives settled rather than hurried.

Ways of working with the seal

Following Athena's seal-working guidance, there are several simple ways to use a seal like this, adapted to your own Enochian practice. You can hold the seal while you speak or read the calls, letting the weight of the metal keep your attention gathered. You can put the seal under a candle during a working, so that it sits within the focused space of the working itself. You can put oil on the seal, anointing it deliberately, where your practice calls for anointing.

You can carry the seal with you, so that the matter of the working stays present beyond a single session, and you can wear it as a pendant, which is one of the forms this piece is offered in. Wearing a Governor seal suits work that unfolds over days, where you want the focus to remain available rather than packed away. You can also show the seal to the desired person, in workings where your system and the situation call for that direct use. In every case, keep to the manner of working your tradition sets out, and let the seal serve that manner rather than replacing it.

How the seal is made here

This is a lost wax cast or hand engraved Tocarzi seal, an Enochian entity or Angel, Governor seal. Either a one-inch cast seal or a hand engraved two-inch seal is offered, and it is your choice. The seal can be made into a pendant, or left as a disc, again as you choose. That choice is practical, and it is worth making deliberately rather than by default.

A one-inch cast seal is compact, easy to wear, and easy to carry without drawing attention, and it suits regular wear. A two-inch hand engraved seal is larger, more prominent in a working space, and its engraved lines reward close looking, which is itself part of seal work: sitting with the seal, tracing its form with the eye, and letting it settle in memory. A disc is best for a seal that will be set out in workings and kept in its proper place between them. A pendant is best for a seal you intend to wear or carry regularly. Choose the form that fits how you will actually use it, not the form that merely looks most impressive.

Keeping a record of Governor work

Enochian work repays a short, plain record more than most kinds of practice, because the material is complex and the workings are long. Note the date, the Governor and seal used, the purpose in one sentence, what you did, and what you noticed afterwards, over days and weeks rather than only on the night itself. That record lets you see, later, whether anything changed and in what direction, and it stops you from quietly rewriting the purpose of a working after the fact.

The record also helps you learn your own pattern of working. Some practitioners find their Enochian work is clearest when it is simple and short, even within a demanding system. Others find that longer, more formal workings suit them better. The record, kept plainly, is how you find that out for yourself, over time, rather than taking someone else's word for what your practice should look like.

Choosing to work with one Governor

Working with a single Governor, rather than with the system as a whole, is a focused choice. It says: for this period, for this matter, my attention is here. That focus can be clarifying, because it narrows the field of study and practice to something you can actually hold in mind. It can also be narrowing in a less useful way, if it cuts you off from the wider order that gives the Governor his place. Keep both truths in view. Work with Tocarzi as the fifty-first Governor, within the system of Governors, and let the wider system stay in view even while your attention is on one seal.

If you are studying the Governors in order, or working through them for a particular purpose, a seal for the Governor you are currently working with is a natural companion to that study. If you are approaching a single Governor without that wider study, take the time to learn where he belongs in the system first. The seal will still be there when that study is done, and the working will be better for the wait.

A note on expectations

No seal, and no working with it, can promise a particular magical result, and this article promises none. What a Governor seal can offer is a properly made, hand-cast or hand-engraved focus for Enochian work with Tocarzi, made for that purpose by a practitioner of long experience. What follows from that work, in terms of magical result, is yours to observe, not mine to guarantee. That wording is about the magical result itself, not about delivery dates for a physical item.
