Some heavy "citation needed" here, but the characterisation by Skinner & Rankine (I don't remember where exactly) of the "Invocation of Angels" texts (Janua Magica Reserata, Clavicula Tabularum Enochi, &c.) as "aristocratic angel magic" is frankly bizarre.
Labelling them thus appears to derive from the belief that (a) John Sommers collected MS. works on magical subjects specifically in order to practice them (rather than for antiquarian interest, or, as Han Sloane did, to debunk them and study the subject as a department of psychopathology), and (b) of all the materials Sommers collected, and which later passed to his brother-in-law and protégé Joseph Jekyll (including the MSS. now designated BL Additional 36674 and Sloane 3677-79, 3821-22, 3824-26, 3846-57 & 3883-85: encompassing versions of the Clavicula Salomonis and Lemegeton, the Picatrix and other works on astrological image magic, English translations of the Heptameron, De occulta philosophia liber quartus and Arbatel de magia veterum, the Liber Iuratus, &c. &c. &c.), his primary interest was in the ceremonial crystallomancy of the Janua and the texts making up the bulk of what is now Sloane 3821.
I would submit that these latter are rather magic--not necessarily for the masses, but at least for the middle classes. Full-dress Solomonic ritual with its magic circles, elaborate preliminary ceremonial, and a wheelbarrow full of Instruments of Art, requires a great deal of private space, leisure time, and resources. The processes of the Picatrix require sourcing obscure and frequently dangerous materia, and complex astrological calculations. "Invocation of Angels" rituals can be done with a small private room, a table of practice, the "crystal stone or glass receptacle" and its stand, two or three people (skryer / invocant / scribe) and a few hours per session. The one person at the time for whom there is better than circumstantial evidence of actually practicing this stuff, Thomas Britton, was a charcoal merchant. There's no indication that the group that created Sloane 3624-28, a group of angel-magic journals, the last volume of which includes the Celestial Keys of the Janua were members of the aristocracy.
