Zalewski’s model of the seven “Kings” and “Princes” of Dee’s “Bonorum”
This model for the arrangement of the “Kings” and “Princes” of John Dee’s “Bonorum” relates the
planets in an order of counter-clockwise days as given by Dee in his workings. This arrangement
of the seven planets in a counter-clockwise array is then further divided into the relations of
duplicities and triplicities to render the two standard forms of a heptagram. While visually
appealing, this model using the hepatagram is secondary to the counter-clockwise circular
arrangement of the planets themselves and, it should also be noted, while this is presented c/c-w
here, it could just as easily be presented as clockwise. Again, the student is admonished to study
fastitiously all other systems of relating these attributes as well, in order to understand what
order will work best regarding which given system.
For example of the application (and missed applications) by the Golden Dawn to the lesser system
of the Bonorum, let’s briefly consider the following color-coded diagram, in order to familiarise
ourselves with the colours of the planets, before going on to apply the colour-coded “Concourse of
the Forces” method to deriving elemental, Zodiacal and planetary attributions for the 4 Watch-
towers of John Dee’s “Enochian” System.
