The problem is that _anybody_ who tries Enochian magick is going to end up "injecting a lot of his own stuff" into it. The original material is extremely skeletal, and needs to be fleshed out by the user in order to be made into a useable magickal system. Anyone who claims to be doing the "original" Enochian magick is either bullshitting you, or bullshitting himself. Zalewski's book consists of the injections and elaborations created by various Golden Dawn members over the years. It isn't the only system that can be devised on their assumptions, nor even the best. Josh --------------------------- Josh Norton -- browe at one dot net Enochian magick at http://w3.one.net/~browe
