From: Fir Area: ENOCHIAN To: Todd Spencer 9 Feb 94 10:49:00 Subject: Hello UpdReq Hi Todd, TS> Hello. Although I'm new to this echo, I'm a longtime student TS> of mysticism TS> with a theoretical (and some practical) grounding in Golden TS> Dawn, Enochian, TS> Shamanistic, and Rosicrucian practices. Sounds like you could bring some good knowledge and experience to discussions here on the nets. TS> I've always had to pursue my studies in a solitary fashion. I TS> could do with TS> the perspective of other's opinions. Had to or chosen to? Personally it has never felt right for me to join a group. Welcome aboard. I hope you will contribute to the conversations here and elsewhere. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Christeos Pir Area: ENOCHIAN To: Fir 10 Feb 94 22:50:36 Subject: Hello UpdReq -=> Fir sent a message to Christeos Pir on 08 Feb 94 07:57:00 <=- -=> Re: Hello <=- Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

I wish that if someone in the U.S. would go to the trouble Fi> of obtaining that stuff, that they would share copies with the rest Fi> of us who are interested in it over here. Well, as far as that kind of distribution, I have no idea what the copyright problems might be. Sure would be nice to have access to the materials without enrolling in Grad school and hassling for entry to the museums, though. I'd love to read Dee's material without the intervention of editors. Fi> Did you make it through the whole book - A True and Faithful Relation? Skimmed most of it, read and re-read some parts. There's some really interesting stuff mixed in with some really nothing stuff, from my p.o.v. Fi> Someone recently suggested to me that when Mathers was writing the Fi> GD Second Order curriculum that his primary influences (what he was Fi> working with?) were John Dee and the Enochian magick and the Fi> Abra-Melin stuff. Hmm... I'm no expert in that area, but it's my understanding that the Enochian played a major part. Other than the fact that it was translated and made available by Mathers, I haven't heard anything about the Abramelin being linked to the actual GD curriculum. Likewise the Goetic material.
