The Crowley Student

by Joe Marek
I want to write about the Crowley Curriculum; but Im concerned
that, because Im going to use the names of grades such as Student,
Probationer, Neophyte, etc., people will presume Im writing about the
AA. That most definitely is NOT the case! I am a past member of
both the O.T.O. and the AA, and I have been convinced that people
are better off simply NOT joining an order. As I have previously written:
No matter what Order you join, you have to put up with egopuffery, people who talk in word-salad and call it being sublime,
backstabbing politics, lite-brites who go on and on about their
crystals, and people who sit around and tell each other lies about
their psychic experiences. *SIGH!*
I have found the easiest way to write about the Curriculum is to
use those grade names. I just want you to understand that I am most
definitely NOT recommending joining a magical order.
As a Thelemite I accept The Book of the Law completely. There are
a couple lines in it that address the Curriculum and I want to refer to
them now.
Behold! the rituals of the old time are black Let the evil ones be
cast away let the good ones be purged by the prophet. Then shall
this Knowledge go aright. II:5

Also the mantras and spells; the obeah and the wanga; the work of
the wand and the work of the sword : these he shall learn and
teach. He must teach. I:37-38.
My interpretation of this is that since Crowley was commanded to
create a new Curriculum, then we as Thelemites have an obligation to
study that Curriculum1, and that is what I have done.
And so that takes us to the first grade, Student; but first I want to
digress:
The Mystical and Magical System of the AA, by James
Eshelman has been an incredible aid to me in working my way through
the Crowley Curriculum. Before you accuse me of depending too much
on the work of someone who is NOT Aleister Crowley, let me add that I
also went back and checked Eshelmans instructions against the original
Crowley documents: One Star in Sight, Liber Collegii Sancti, Liber
Graduum Montis Abiegni and Literature Recommended to Aspirants.
I did not find any omissions!
And now, finally, back to the Student grade!
Checking http://www.outercol.org/ it is not hard to click the link to
the Curriculum where we find:

The Book of Abramelin, by Abraham Von Worms.

1I realize that is just my opinion, but let me add that its a very strongly held opinion;
and, indeed, it is a recommendation.

The Goetia of the Lemegeton of Solomon the King, ed. by Aleister

Crowley
Transcendental Magic, by Eliphas Levi.
The Spiritual Guide, by Miguel de Molinos.
Raja Yoga, by Swami Vivekananda.
The Shiva Sanhita or The Hathayoga Pradipika.
Konx Om Pax, by Aleister Crowley.
The Book of Lies, by Aleister Crowley
777, by Aleister Crowley.
Tannhuser, The Sword of Song, Time and Eleusis (all found in
Collected Works of Aleister Crowley).
The Tao Teh King.
The Equinox, Volume I, Nos. 1-10 & Volume III, No. 1.

I have reordered (and renamed) these slightly for convenience, but

they are all here.
If you think it might spur you on, you can also print out Student
Task and Oath. After filling it out you can burn it, frame it or hide it in
a drawer, but please dont feel you have to join an Order.
What follows are my own diary entries as I first read through
these. I will admit that I was rather impatient with Uncle Al. I did not
want poetry, allegory or subtle sublime writing and I certainly didnt
5

want over 400 pages of sarcastic book reviews. I just wanted straightforward magical instruction, which I eventually found in The Equinox,
alongside fiction, poetry, drama, even sheet music and those darn book
reviews.
What follows are my first impressions of these, I hope they may be
of at least limited value to some of you.
The Book of Abramelin, by Abraham Von Worms (the Dehn/Goth
edition): Like many others, I am thrilled that a modern translation has
finally appeared. It is too timely and too important to not be made
available. The appearance of this book is much more than just praiseworthy; just thinking about it, I feel a sort of spiritual earthquake
occurring.
Combining this book with Liber VIII: The Ritual Proper for the
Invocation of Augoeides and Liber Samekh certainly could lead to
the Knowledge and Communication of the Holy Guardian Angel ... one
hopes!
The Goetia: Reading this was, of course, nothing new. I have much
experience with the Goetia; some, but not all, of that experience
impacting the material world.
Ive decided to try again, utilizing a spirit Ive not worked with
before.
The desire, of course, being to have the time to actually do what
Im supposed to be doing.
Transcendental Magic, by Eliphas Levi: This is a much better book
than The Key of the Mysteries. I think, by the time of Key, that Levi was
6

under fire for some of the things hed said before; and was now trying to
back pedal.
Transcendental Magic could have moved on a little more quickly
though.
Compared to more modern authors, this is like reading a book on
mythology. I fail to see how it influenced Crowley.
I have to laugh at Levis constant use of the term magnetic. He
also seems fond of the word analogy. (ed. Magnetic is a 19th century
term for magical, and it was also used by Bardon, Randolph etc.)
It must be AE Waites translation but this is one of the most
difficult books to get through I tackled since beginning this journal. Ick!
The word turgid comes to mind.
As I get into the Ritual section, it is much easier to read,
although chapter four reads like superstition.
Konx Om Pax, by Aleister Crowley: Empty Headed Athenians
laments the frustration of trying to teach anything to those with a herd
animal mentality.
The Wake World is obviously about the relationship between the
aspirant and the Holy Guardian Angel. Whenever you see Adonai in
Aleister Crowleys writings, he is referencing the Angel. This is also a
Qabalistic journey. I had earlier written that it was a Qabalistic/Tarot
journey up the Tree of Life, and that it read like a sort of Alice in
Wonderland kind of story.
Ali Sloper supposedly reflects on the Jones-Crowley
collaboration as they put together the AA. But most of it reads like
7

some kind of inside joke. You may find a few gems in it, but Im not
sure its worth the effort.
Thien Tao This seems to be both a parody, and a treatise on the
equilibrium of all things.
The Stone of Abiegnus This reads like a debate among
different types of atheists and agnostics. I am most drawn to the final
verse, The Poet.
The Book of Lies, by Aleister Crowley: I know enough about
Qabalah, Tarot, Astrology and Eastern Thought to understand most of
what Crowley is saying here. But is he saying anything new, or is he
trying to prove how clever he is?
It becomes more of a game of Oh, I know what hes talking about
now, and less a matter of Oh, he just said something utterly brilliant
that Ive never heard of before.
Anyone coming to Konx Om Pax and The Book of Lies for magical
instruction is going to be disappointed. There is nothing practical here;
there is nothing that someone can actually use (with very few
exceptions).
I would be much more impressed by direct, simple instructions,
uncluttered by cuteness; offering actual information that a student can
use.
But that will, of course, come later.
777, by Aleister Crowley: This is just an incredible cross reference.
I can tell that it will be handy for all kinds of things, such as charting the
gods names for an Egyptian pentagram ritual.
8

Tannhuser: This story is not original with Crowley but is a

Wagnerian re-working of an old piece of folklore. Personally, I would
find a journey to the land of Venus interesting, but I know there are some
kinds of Religious Nuts who would be appalled by such a thing. Im not.
I also dont know why he equates Venus with Lilith. Maybe that was in
the original.
The Sword of Song: Again, I did not find Great Truths in here;
just Crowley being obnoxious and trying to be clever.
It is a hodgepodge combination of all he has studied up to this
point in his life. The conclusions he would draw from this comes later.
Time: I am not much concerned with perceptions of Time; such
conceptions are convenient for the material world we deal with. Some
sudden revelation about the conception of Time is not going to cause any
store to open at a different hour. There are times in which we should
challenge our perceptions, but I dont see anything other than a dead-end
in challenging our perceptions of Time.
Eleusis: This was far better than I expected it to be. He addresses
the topic of science far better than he does in later works.
Transcendence is emotional to the extreme; and the fact that it may
or may not be able to be measured by science is immaterial.
The Tao Te Ching: while Crowleys re-working of this may not be
absolutely brilliant, I felt the Tao reaching out to me. If I had not been a
Thelemite I would have become a Taoist (if I had heard of it
independently of reading Crowley). Something inside of me responds to
everything Ive read about the Tao. Or rather, as I read Crowleys Tao Te
Ching, there is something I feel behind what Im reading, something that
9

feels like its reaching out to me and then suddenly it all makes sense
to me in a way that reaches far deeper than the reasoning faculty of my
surface brain. This is really quite incredible. I havent felt this way for a
very long time.
The Equinox I(1)2: An Account of AA I can see why
Crowley liked this, why he saw great promise in this; why he sought for
such a thing it has the potential to be very inspirational.
Liber Libr I have always liked this; it is a lovely piece of
writing. Its just wonderful, and needs to be constantly reread.
Liber E vel Exercitiorum This is excellent. This is what Ive
been waiting for. What took him so long? Its interesting that we begin
with Yoga rather than Magick. At least he mentions Tarot decks. This is
something to figuratively sink our teeth into!
The Chymical Jousting of Brother Perardula I can tell this is
well-written, but I must learn more alchemy to fully appreciate it.
The Soldier and the Hunchback: ! and ? This is a great piece of
analytical writing, and great advice to the aspirant: have healthy
skepticism and have all facts prove themselves, but dont be silly!
The Temple of Solomon the King I had read this introduction
before. I really really enjoy this. The things this intro discusses, and the
way it discusses them is just perfect. It is a magnum opus all by itself.
John St. John I could wish that Crowley spent less time talking
2In order to save space, only Equinox items that are part of the Crowley Curriculum will

be reviewed.

10

about his diet and more time talking and doing the actual work.
Having had some exposure to heightened states of consciousness, I
understand the euphoria of the last couple days of this working.
The Equinox I(2): Liber O vel Manus et Sagitt The simplicity
and directness of this is just wonderful. This is what Ive been waiting
for.
A Handbook of Geomancy There are apparently blinds in these
instructions.
A Note on Genesis (Allen Bennett) This is absolutely quite
brilliant, but should be considered as for a very advanced student.
Postcards to Probationers These are ingenious little
encapsulations, and worth returning to time and again ... though I
daresay some are a bit long to fit on a postcard.
The Temple of Solomon the King This installment was good.
But it would have been better to give synopses of the rituals, including
the part where actual instruction was imparted; plus he completely
overlooked the Knowledge Lectures. Instead, my interest is drawn to
what Crowley studied before joining the Golden Dawn: Alchemy, The
Spritual Guide, The Cherubic Wanderer, The Arbatel, The Seven
Mysterious Orisons, Key of Solomon and other grimoires, Qabalah, The
Book of Concealed Mystery, Knorr von Rosenroth, and The Book of the
Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage.
The Equinox I(3): Graduum Montis Abiegni the syllabus of the
Grades. All the vague allusions to things the reader of The Equinox has
not seen serve no purpose whatsoever.

11

Aha! I know a lot of people like this; but really Crowleys time
would have been better spent writing straight forward instructions, rather
than this contrived allegory ... and it goes on and on and on.
The Temple of Solomon the King This is really quite dry, and
the installment in The Equinox I(1) was so promising ... Ive gotten to
the end of this, and Im a little bit more kindly disposed about this
installment.
I really dont see where this wordy mess
has much to offer. It seems hard to read these lines with much emotion.
The Equinox I(4): Liber Jugorum Speech, Action, Thought! I
understand the need for self-control but these steps seem a little extreme.
Someone using these practices today could very well get locked up.
Things have changed since 1910.
Liber A vel Armorum To create these according to instruction,
one would need, at any length, some very serious blacksmithing skills.
The Temple of Solomon the King An interesting section, but I
had already read much on Yoga, written on it too, so that much of this
was repetition ... I find John St. John and this installment of The
Temple of Solomon the King to be quite interesting. I, too, have
encountered atmospherics. This is an interesting package en toto.
The High History of Good Sir Palamedes ... Its all about the
journey. This also relates to the Angel. We search and search for him/her,
but the Angel is right there within us 3 ... I think this really is one of
Crowleys better pieces.
3This was written before I read Crowleys final thoughts on the process in Magick

Without Tears.

12

The Equinox I(5): Liber HHH These are more advanced

meditations but I am not so crazy about the high-falutin way these are
written.
The Training of the Mind this is really very good. It does drag
in places, and Im sure Crowley hated Bennetts moralizing; but it is still
exemplary.
The Temple of Solomon the King In an effort to explain how
much Crowley had mastered the Qabalah, we are dragged through pages
of jumbled numbers with no very good explanation.
X-Rays on Ex-Probationers blah blah blah!
The Vision and the Voice One should perhaps instead read the
version of this with commentary. However, since I am bound to read The
Equinox all the way through, I will attack this version ... Although vague
and seemingly indecipherable I find The Vision and the Voice to also be
intriguing this time around. I cant wait to perform the operation myself.
The Equinox I(6): Liber Porta Lucis to print the Class A
documents4 without full commentary is pointless.
Liber Turris vel Domus Dei not bad; it is well to do this in its
place.

4I maintain that Aleister Crowley was the stenographer of The Book of the Law. But all

the other Holy Books are merely very personal automatic writing, and are not in the
same class with The Book of the Law, and are hard to decipher without Crowleys own
commentary.

13

Liber Tzaddi vel Hamus Hermeticus it is all well and good to

study these at the appropriate time, but to print a bunch of these with no
annotation is a waste of time.
Liber Cheth vel Vallum Abiegni *SIGH!* Another Class A
document.
Liber Resh vel Helios It is my personal experience that you
project your energy towards the sun while doing this ... after a while you
will be getting much more energy back from the sun than what you are
projecting.
Liber Aash vel Capricorni Pneumatici Oh boy! Another Class
A document.
The Rites of Eleusis Saturn: This seems okay. Its interesting. I
would like to see the music scored for a heavy metal band. Jupiter: I
guess I like the structure of this one better. Mars: There is not much to
add to these. The structure is pretty much the same. The poetry is okay,
and is quite obviously meant to be read aloud. I suppose one must see
these to appreciate them. Sol: eh. Venus: I didnt quite get this; and I
dont like the resolution. Mercury: This was short and left me with a big
question mark. Luna: All in all these are okay I guess. They would come
across as more of a poetry reading, than as a drama or a play. Im not
sure if Id actually want to go see these performed, not without taking a
pillow.5
The Equinox I(7): Liber B vel Magi Again, class A documents
5This was written before I realized the Rites were being released as Rock Operas on
DVDs.

14

really need to be published with complete commentaries.

Liber Nu hard to comment on, not having done this yet.
Liber Israfel this has not worked for me before, I have a
feeling that it would work now.
Liber Stell Rube Class A
Liber Astart vel Berylli (for the Philosophus) this is very
interesting and I look forward to doing it.
Liber RU vel Spiritus (for the Zelator) more yoga.
Liber Carcerorum Qliphoth cum Suis Geniis / Liber Domarum
Mercurii cum Suis Geniis Class A
Liber Tau vel Kabbal Trium Literarum Class A
Liber Os vel Abysmi vel Dath Class B
Liber Had I think there should be a Liber Ra-Hoor-Khu!
Liber Tau no comment.
Liber Viarum Vi eh.
Liber BRAShITh eh again.
A Brief Abstract of the Symbolic Representation of the Universe
this isnt really enough to do anything at all with the system.
Additional information would be required.
Across the Gulf at least this isnt written in a poetic format.
This is a nice story, like a parable. But I dont think its one of Crowleys
previous incarnations. It is more like a myth or fable he spun to reflect
15

his current level of initiation. It is a satisfying read.

The Temple of Solomon the King since this installment was
printed in The Equinox of the Gods, I have read it many many times. It
has interesting, but not enough, information.
The Equinox I(8): The Temple of Solomon the King this is an
interesting chapter in Crowleys career, but how does it compare to his
attaining KCHGA in John St. John.
A Brief Abstract ... part 2 just to study these in part gets one
nowhere. One needs most of the recent books on Enochian Magick to
put together a comprehensible all-encompassing system.
Description of the Cards of the Tarot Im scanning this, but
when it comes time to study divination, I will absorb The Book of Thoth.
Sephir Sephiroth This is, of course, very important. Its value to
the magician is beyond measure. Its uses are near infinite. It is
something that one would constantly refer to.
The Equinox I(9): The Temple of Solomon the King Crowley
continues to write this piece, thus we see his own reactions to what he
was going through. I like this.
Energized Enthusiasm an intriguing and involved piece. It is
worthy of further study.
An Evocation of Bartzabel this was okay, but I think he wrote
better evocations later on.
The Equinox I(10): The Book of the Law how do you comment
on this without writing an entire book?
16

Liber An interesting practice; it

would surely lead to enhanced control of the mind.
A Syllabus of the Official Instructions of the AA a general
description of the libri. You can find these descriptions everywhere.
The Ship I like the idea, but I didnt care for the execution.
Two Fragments of Ritual The Supreme Ritual: I didnt much
care for it. A Ritual to Invoke HICE: I have to admit I didnt much care
for this either.
The Temple of Solomon King Reaching the conclusion of this,
one must say that it is a quite uneven chronicle. The introductory chapter
in The Equinox I(1) was beautiful, the relation of the Golden Dawn years
was too truncated, and the rest seemed to ramble a bit. And the chronicle
really wasnt completed in 1913, and there seem to be holes in it. The
reader wants a more comprehensive uniform account. Hopefully it will
come from somewhere else.
The Key of the Mysteries (Eliphas Levi) Ive read a hundred
pages so far, and I dont understand what Crowley saw in this book.
Later: After saying that religion cannot be defined or measured by
science, Levi than proceeds to try to measure and define mysticism with
science. The use of terms like magnetism and electricity abound.
These must still have been new concepts back then. Over all I am
disappointed in this. It is not the great classic I hoped it would be.
The Equinox III(1) Hymn to Pan I know some people really
love this poem, but I didnt much care for this.
AA Curriculum of course I have read all this before, but
17

reading it is no substitute for doing the Work.

The Message of the Master Therion I dont care for Crowley
trying to redefine unassuaged. It doesnt wash!
The Law of Liberty again, Ive read this before repeatedly. I
find this to be very inspirational.
Liber Caus I have read this before and I feel no purpose is
served by being so vague.
Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente it is futile to print the Class A
documents without commentary.
De Lege Libellum there wasnt much here that I havent
encountered before.
A Master of the Temple Crowleys comments are more
enlightening than Jones stumbling around. Had Jones no more direction
than this? I thought, upon becoming a Probationer he would have gotten
the AA Syllabus.
Khabs am Pekht Crowley really was totally impractical in how
the word of could be spread. His actions, his attitudes and his
constant need to rebel against his parents religion just made things
harder for the rest of us I believe a whole new approach is needed to
propagate as a religion.
Stepping Out of the Old on and Into the New this isnt much
more than a rephrasing of things Crowely has said.
The Gnostic Mass this ritual thinly disguises the central secret
of the O.T.O. Open your eyes and be wise. This is a potentially powerful
18

magical ritual, but it must be done that way, and not just as a religious
service.
The Voice of the Silence/The Two Paths/The Seven Portals
Crowleys comments on Blavatsky: from Crowleys end, if youve
already read everything else he wrote on Yoga, this is nothing new. From
Blavatskys end: She was willing to make things up way too much!
Blavatsky was either doing automatic writing or she was on some sort of
hyper-creative overdrive! 6
If nothing else, I hope youre saying to yourselves, Well, I can do
better than this, and that youll do just that.
I know I seemed impatient with Crowley, and I was. I wanted
hardcore magical instruction, and didnt feel I was getting it until I
tackled the much-diluted Equinox.
You might be wondering, that if I was so unhappy with what I was
reading, why did I stick with the Curriculum. My only answer can be
that I had a calling and that I had the Certainty of Nuit7 that I must tackle
this work. Once I started The Work my doubts and concerns ceased. I
just knew that I had to do it, I knew it had to be done.

6I freely admit that, for works not covered in this section, I was content to read the
synopses from Mr. Eshelmans book.

7See The Book of the Law, I:58: I give [] certainty, not faith, while in life. Thelemites

dont have faith, they have certainty (in my humble opinion).

IN BED WITH CROWLEY

-- Crowley books I have read while in bed. Literally.
Crowley books all over the bed. Crowley shoots seeds of magical
eternal wisdom, opinions, smartaleck know-it-all retorts, reviews, and
everything else all over the bed. Little wiggly pearls of insight and
experiences and all the time he hollers, dont follow me! Well, what
are we supposed to do, then, with Crowley in bed.
Reading 418 in bed got me this vision.
I was in an apartment building, and I went up stairs (how many I
dont remember) to an empty apartment, thru the front door, and from
behind the wall just behind the door, there came a great, sonorous,
louder than reality, from beyond the know-not-where, grandiose voice
saying something, I couldnt understand a word it was saying. I knew it
was talking to me, tho, and that the message must be important. How
long this lasted, I dont know but in visions it usually doesnt last very
long and seems like forever. Finally, it said, and now my servant has
my bags packed and I have to leave. I thought it said something about
having to catch a plane, or maybe that was just my impression(surely its
going to fly not go by train(?). Then it was gone, and I went down the
stairs to a seemingly lower or maybe below ground level (those garden
level apartments) and sawthe Brady Bunch. Imagine that.
I can only figure that the reason this vision was arranged as it
was because, in 418, Crowley describes his working in the order of,
doing the body of the ritual, and whatever else is involved, and then
describes coming down from the expanded seemingly large
consciousness to the mundane, earthly consciousness again. Maybe his
description of that process made a firm impression on my own
consciousness, or maybe rather, subconsciousness. I can only surmise
23

that seeing the Brady Bunch means two things, that the BB is my deep
unconscious symbol of mundanity, normality, the family circle as I grew
up with the concept of, and that it got that way because I spent too much
of my time watching pop culture tv in the 60s. What a waste of a good
adolescence. Not my fault, parents are supposed to guide and teach
kids. Messed up my expectations too. At least now I know I gotta get a
broader definition and classical version of mundanity going. But it just
goes to show you that, while your life experiences are your gnosis,
practically any of your life experiences can end up being an important
part of your own personal gnosis.
Prior to this event, and after beginning to read diligently thru 418
for some time, I started seeing 418s following me around all over town,
wherever I went. 418 on license plates (the most visible when driving),
418s on the clock (seems I still manage to somehow intuitively or
strangely otherwise look at the clock when its 4:18 in the afternoon)
whether at home or on the computer at work or on the phone display at
work or anywhere and am usually not awake at 4:18 in the blessed a.m.
One of these 418s made itself all too clear at one point while I
was trying to ignore all this 418 activity. I had parked downtown to go
to the civic center for something, and was a block or so away and could
not see the front of the civic center from where I parked. As I rounded
the corner toward the front of the civic center where they have the huge
electronic word display of recent events and ticket information, a
marquee-I guess its still called- there displayed on the largest clock in
town, was the time. 4:18. Well, I couldnt very well ignore that large
and intrusive message, could I.
Liber 418 is Crowleys only liber which gave me such a personal
gnosis-interactive feedback self-referential reaction when read before
falling into the hypnogogic state just before sleep. Why, is not for me to
24

ask, but I do. Suffice it to say, life is not normal when in bed with
Crowley .

Allie Crow
Allie Crow, Allie Crow;
What were you told so long ago?
Were you afraid at every word?
Did you shudder at what you heard?
Three hours time was all it took
As you wrote down that famous book.
When wars began and cities fell,
Was it the work of Nuits spell?
Aiwaz words, spoken clear and precise, did speak of
Nuits command, as a word to the wise, did tell of
Hadits potential, as infinite of size, did harbinger
Ra-Hoor-Khuit, always master of dice, did seize the old on
fling it far, fling it fast,
til it became a part of the past.
Old men wonder what revealed their lies,
as the world flounders and old faiths die.
Wars and destruction: chaos rains down
as from the ruins the Babe cries for his crown!
...

1. Opening of the Temple in 2=9
2. Vibrated the 3rd Enochian Call.
3. Recited Enochian Conjuration:

Ol vinu od zodakame, Ilasa, Gahe <Angel's Name> +

od elanusahe vaoresagi Iaida,
gohusa pujo ilasa, darebesa!
Do-o-i-ape _____od______od_____od___od_____ *
Ol vinu-ta od zodameta,
Ilasa, Gahe <Angel's Name>

30

+ The conjuration was done one for each Good Angel: czns, ToTt, Sias,
fmnd
* Names used were:
ORO-IBAH-AOZPI
BATAIVAH
6 Seniors of Air: HIPOTGA (Saturn), AAOZAIF (Jupiter), HABIORO (Mars),
AHAOZPI (Venus), AVTOTAR (Mercury), HTMORDA (Luna)
Calvary Cross Angels: IDIOGO, Ardza
------------------------------------------------Given that this was the 2nd time I was performing this, and my
condition is a rather chronic one, I added a single-letter from the
vertical-line of the Calvary Cross for each Good Angel. So the names
called were:
czons
ToiTt
Sigas
fmond
The same technique can be applied to the previous ritual posted or to
any other sub-quadrant of the other watchtowers.
This is an alternate version of a Healing ritual I wrote sometime back. I
did this for a number of reasons:
31

1) The first version was a success. However, after a week or so, the
swelling in my foot returned. Whilst the pain was almost completely
gone and remains so, my other respiratory symptoms returned. I could
have repeated the ritual again (as was even suggest but the Tablet of
Union spirit EHNB), however I decided to try something different.
2) There are different variations of the uses of the Angels of the various
sub-quadrants. In the hierarchy posted by Sharash on
http://hermetic.com/enochia/enochian_hierarchy.html , it indicated
that the Water sub-quadrants were associated with Medicine and the
healing of disease, in the original Dee material, it indicated that the AIR
of AIR subquadrant was used. I have done 2 versions and over the next
week, I shall compare and contrast the differences between both.
3) I should point out that I had done this particular version of the ritual
(AIR of AIR) before the previous ritual I had posted, but my results were
less than satisfactory. I am repeating it but with a difference of adding a
letter from the vertical line of the Calvary Cross (Have indicated at the
bottom of the ritual).
