McCracken’s Notes
(9) THE FRAGRANT TREES (pgs. 55-62)
In this section, Enoch is taken on another
tour. At the beginning, 24.1, there is
perhaps a volcano. Then the seven mountains
again, 24.2-3, this time with more detail.
- From-24.3 to 25.6, there are the fragrant
trees. These sound like cannabis to me.
- The description at 25.6 of "drawing the
fragrance into the bones’’, is quite an apt
description of smoking it. The part where
it says, at 25.4, "no one will have
authority to touch it,” could represent the
present prohibition.
- At 31.1 Enoch mentions galbanum, this is
one of the ingredients of the incense that
was to be burned on the Incense Altar in
the Tent of Appointment, Exodus 30:34.
Also, at 32.3-6, the Tree of Wisdom also
sounds like cannabis. Here we get a new
insight into the Adam and Eve story.
- At 33.3-4, Enoch mentions how Uriel gave
him notes on astronomy. These notes are in
this book as sections 13, 14, and 16.
- The angel Zotiel is mentioned at 32.2,
east of the Red Sea, there are suggestions
