What the app does

Presents the forty-eight Calls in the angelic language as Dee recorded them, with pronunciation and English sense, and leads their recitation in order. Each Call opens a Watchtower or one of the Aethyrs, and the app keeps track of where the practitioner stands in the sequence.

Ways in: Chant and drone, The Name, repeated, The seal and the gaze, Binaural entrainment. Every session is carried on binaural sound tuned toward theta, the slow rhythm of the edge of sleep that these rites were built to reach. More on the state.

Why the rite works

Dee believed these words were dictated by angels through a scrying stone, and that they were the language Adam spoke in Eden. The Calls are dense, rhythmic and nearly impossible to follow with the reasoning mind. That is part of how they work: the recitation fills the speaking mind while attention sinks beneath it.

Questions

Do I need anything besides my phone?
Headphones. The app carries the rite on binaural sound, which only works when each ear hears its own tone.
What is it based on?
The diaries of John Dee and Edward Kelley, 1581–1587. The names, words and order are taken from the source and guided step by step. The full list of sources is in the Library.
Is there an EEG version?
Not yet. EEG neurofeedback editions are coming as a $19.99 add-on per app, built in order of request. They will need a Neurosity Crown headset, sold separately.
