Maybe it's a Hebrew demonization of Ishtar, along the lines of what they did with her under the name of Ashtoreth -- i.e., changing her from a female god into a male demon. ...

In the case of the OTOA it I think Bertiaux is garbage. I once had his Voudon Gnostic Workbook and it was totally useless. Besides most references I can remember were putting down Crowley.

Sometimes you find one for that price, but more often you pay over a hundred for one. I paid 150 for the last one I bought, but that was more to float a friend than "get it off the streets" ..... ;-) 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
