Anael, I have used this shop recently with good results but not for anything Enochian.www.goldendawnshop.com This site looks like what you are asking for but I have had never dealt with them enochian.org I can say this though, it has been around for quite a few years.

Some beautiful passages in this one. I also like how it is described to have been given unto V.V.V.V.V. for use in a "certain matter of Liber Legis."

"I didn't want to start an entirely new thread for this question so I bumped this.

In Crowley's "Confessions" he talks about a conversation he had with Allan Bennett. Crowley happened to mention that he had heard that there was a particular method of vibrating the name of "Adonai Ha-Aretz" which summoned the Holy Guardian Angel, in turn "helping" an aspirant achieve "The Vision of Adonai" at the early stages (Malkuth). Although it seems very odd to me I would still like to know if Crowley ever published anything that spoke about this (so far I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else), and if he actually ever went about attempting it.

P.S. I don't have Confessions on me so I will have to look later if reference is needed."

"Other practices were the "assumption of God-forms"; by concentrated imagination of oneself in the symbolic shape of any God, one should be able to identify oneself with the idea which He represents. There there was meditation on simple symbols with the idea of penetrating to their secret meaning. I was also to keep up my practices of astral visions and "rising on the planes", in particular the special official method of invoking Adonai-ha-Aretz. I was also to continue the work Eckenstein had taught me, on his lines"

"I gave up the rosicrucian system in favor of the ogdoadic, about a year ago. As of late, I've given up all magick in a sort of yoga retirement, with the aim of practicing this tradition until I get a sign to resume my magical works."

The only ogdoadic material I'm familiar with is Dennings & Phillips' Aurum Solis. Is it really so different? I bought Foundations of High Magic because it was super-cheaply discounted, but I never looked at Mysteria Magica, which is I guess is the best work. Anyway, aside from being Greek-oriented it didn't seem very different.

I just began reading The Greek Qabalah by Kieren Barry, btw. Very interesting! In the intro, the author explains immediately that the title "Greek Qabalah" is anachronistic, but the Greek number-letter system that came to be used in Jewish Qabalah dates back to Greek culture 3rd century C.E. or earlier, which is coicidentally when the Old Testament is approximated to begin being written between 300 - 600 C.E. Of course, it doesn't make much difference to me either way because I've been working under the premise that it all comes from the Egyptian Ha-Qabal, anyway.

I'd be interested to know more about the differences of the two systems from your personal experience in a PM or something, if you care to bother.
