Examining the individual words we find faaip in the Second Enochian Key (often as fa-a-ip, or fa-a-ipe in Crowley’s phoenetic), and corresponds to the English word ‘voices’ or ‘voice’.

The Enochian word de, has the same meaning and usage to the Latin and modern Spanish preposition ‘de’. In this case it is used as ‘of’. It is interesting to consider the Latin meanings of ‘de’, such as “down from, away from”. De is found in the Third Enochian Key. Other Enochian words for voice include bia, bial, and bien.

The final word, oiad is one of the various names and titles of God from the Enochian language. It is often translated as “of God”, possibly making the usage of de redundant, and the “voice of God” could have been written simply as faaip oiad. Oiad is found in the Fourteenth and Eighteenth Enochian Keys, and could be a varitation of Ioiad “Him that lives forever”, found in several other Keys. Oiad is also translated as “the Just One”.

Other Enochian words for God include:

• Baeovid – righteousness
• Iabes – God, Lord; Life, Supreme
• Iad – God
• Idoian – Holy Name
• Idoigo – “He that sits on the Holy Throne”
• L (el) – one, first; The First (compare with ‘El’ – ‘Ancient of Gods’ or ‘the Father of all Gods’ of ancient Syria)
• Mad – your God
• Piad – God
• Zilodarp – Stretch-Forth-And-Conquer
• Zirenaiad – “I am the Lord your God”

These alternative words for God, combined with the alternative words for voice, give many more combinations that could have been chosen to represent the “voice of God”. It is also interesting to note the similarity between the term “voice of God” and the Enochian word Loagaeth (alternatively spelt Logaeth, Logaah, Logah), meaning “Speech of God”, and the title of one of the Enochian texts by John Dee.
