     I am at present working with the Thirty Aethyrs of the Nineteenth 
Enochian Key.  My preparation for each working consists of an asana and some 
breathing exercises to get my mind cleared and in a proper frame, a quick and 
improptu Setian invocation (my version of the LRBP; the purpose is to clear 
the mind and level the energy within your psychic space), and a drink from my 
chalice to symbolize my desire to gain knowledge.  From there I get into a 
half-lotus position and call out the Aethyr.  
      As soon as I finish I close my eyes and clear my thoughts.  The visions 
which then arise are carefully watched and studied.  I find, invariably, that 
they fit upon a set pattern--typically what happens within a few seconds is 
akin to a lucid dream.  I go through this vision, then, immediately after it 
ends, I write it down.  I then consider what it means to my current stage of 
magical development and how this information can help me to develop further.  
      I would be interested in seeing how others use the Enochian Keys.

Cr) Are You doing scrying or evocations; My luck with the latter has been Cr) 
much better than with the former;
      Surprisingly my experience right now has been the opposite; although I 
suspect that, when I have mastered the Aethyrs, I will have mastered the 
skills and abilities which they symbolize and be able to use them as tools in 
my magical arsenal.  That is, I will be able to evoke their powers once I 
have discerned them through scrying.
       I have not yet tried an Enochian evocation, to be honest; I have used 
the "bastard Enochian" of the Goetia to great effect on several occasions, 
but never the Dee Enochian.  What have your experiences with evocations using 
the Keys been?

Analia -
I agree with much of what you say, but one thing in your post niggles me..."If 
there are no right ways to do these rites, how can there be a wrong way?"
 Easily - like anything else, it can be wrong when done sloppily, casually (in 
the offhanded sense), without thought or awareness. When jumbled, jangled, 
halting, etc.
