Brian -
93.
Well, as I say, applying the Elemental Grade signs in the traditional
quartersmakes pretty intuitive good sense. When I mentioned using them,
it was before Don's excellent book came out. I was (as many a solo before
me and since, I am sure) trying to figure out the best way for a do-it-
yourselfer to stand "in the sign of thy Grade."
 The Savedow book sounds interesting. Is he marketing it generally, or only 
through his own store?

 I've been using LVX, Thoum-aish-neith <sp??>, Shu, and Auromoth from the git. 
I know that Kraig, in _Modern Magick_, instructs people to use the G.D. 
Elemental Grade signs, and I have no idea why. Do you know who, if anyone, 
predating Kraig used these signs, or is it something he came up with on his 
own? <I did try it that way a couple times right after reading M.M., and also 
tried with my O.T.O. degree signs, but I liked the original way best after 
giving some other schtuff a try, so went back to it.> I do some other weird 
Reshstuff of my own, such as combining Suryanamaskar with the Adorations, but 
that's purely personal. Have you experimented with different godforms? What'd 
you think?
