Enochian World of Aleister Crowley

I'm not sure why none of the other reviews mention this, but the 2011 "20th Anniversary Edition" as published by New Falcon only contains half the content of the original out-of-print title by Original Falcon. None of the material by Christopher Hyatt is included. The New Falcon Edition stops at Chapter Five, skipping Chapters Six through Eight, then goes straight to the Appendix. It omits about half the illustrations, though all of the Plates and Diagrams seem present, though they've been moved around a little. All discussions of sex magic have been deleted from this edition. By jiggering the book size and page layouts, the editors managed to cut about 40 pages of material and still have the same page count as the original. There's a new introduction by Duquette (five whole pages), and basically what you're getting is a restructuring of his contributions to the original text with all of Hyatt's material cut out.

This is my favorite book so far on Enochian Magick. It is very concise and to the point. I have some experience, and this book filled in the gaps where I did not quite get it. This surprised me because the book is short. It has everything I need at this point to actually practice this wonderful form of magick, plus the tables, charts and even a dictionary! All in 130 pages, nicely produced by New Falcon Press. Highly Recommended. +++

I wouldn't know how this book is. The seller sent me which is. Sex magick instead. That is a great book though. I would buy enochian sex magick again

Excellent history here on Aleister Crowley. Very interesting history on Enochian Magic. Also has many drawings that are not available in other Enochian Magic boods. I must have for anyone studying Enochian Magic.

I received the Enochian World of Aleister Crowley; Enochian World of Sex Magic.

Aleister Crowley was called a black magician and the "wickedest man in the world." He was also called a holy-man, prophet, and Logos of the Aeon. In either case, he was the most brilliant and prolific philosopher magicians of the 20th Century. His greatest failing (if you can call it a failing) was the fact that he wrote as if he expected his readers were as educated, brilliant, and insightful as he. (He also mistakenly thought they could all figure out when he was kidding.)I'm no dummy, and it took me several years, lots of reference books, and a good deal of spiritual courage before I could begin to appreciate Crowley and his works. Helping to light my way through the dark tangles of Crowleyana were two books that were amazingly easy to understand, THE ENOCHIAN WORLD OF ALEISTER CROWLEY, and ALEISTER CROWLEY'S ILLUSTRATED GOETIA. These little gems were written with the expressed purpose of making Crowley's works on Enochian and Goetic magick comprehensible and usable.I don't know what gods conspired to bring Lon Milo Duquette and Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D together as a writing team, but I thank them. Both these gentlemen are prolific authors and famous in their own right, (just search their names on Amazon.com). Together with Crowley, however, they become an Unholy Trinity of modern magick.If you would actually like to perform magick instead of just reading about it, read both these little books now. Do I sound impressed? I am.

Hyatt notes early in that he has 'found the Enochian system to be the safest, cleanest and most logical system of practical magick one can perform. But it is an art and as such requires not only study and practice but also inspiration and the love-hate relationship all artists have with their craft' (pg 59). He further advises the reader to 'resign yourself at the outset to take responsibility for your own magical reality. When you have firmly assumed this responsibility you will realize there is no Enochian universe per se. There is only your universe which you can access by the Enochian formulae. There is no Enochian magick per se. There is only your magick, facilitated by the methods of the Enochian system' (pg 21).It contains Liber LXXXIV vel Chanokh, with detailed notes and further explanations preceding the text itself, providing a lucid and detailed guide to the Enochian system via Crowley, spiced with anecdotes describing the authors' personal experience with the Enochian system.To further facilitate the ease of understanding the system the authors advise using coloured diagrams, noting that while 'all this may take a few hours to execute but it will save you months (or as in my case, years) of confusion' (pg 46) as through colour-coding it becomes more obvious how the tablets relate.However, the section devoted to sex magick is small, only two short and somewhat vague chapters tagged on the end. Hyatt intends this 'for the reader who is already knowledgeable on these subjects', noting that he is merely offering 'a few helpful hints concerning how Enochian can be used in these areas' (pg 104). While this may be true, it also means that it doesn't quite warrant the slightly misleading 'Sex Magick' subtitle given to it.Toward the rear of the book there is an Enochian dictionary; complete with several pages of Enochian words, their pronunciation and English translation. Also included is the Lesser Ritual of the Hexagram, and in the appendix there are several diagrams of the tablets, the pentagrams and signs, as well as eight 'sex magick symbols'.Lucid, concise, precise in its language, the Enochian World of Aleister Crowley is excellent as a general introduction to the study Enochian magick through Crowley, if not a practical guide to sex magick.

This book is just a comment of Liber Chanokh, and the author wrote it as if you could not understand Liber Chanokh by yourself. I think Liber Chanokh is a master piece and It goes straight to the point, it does not need any explanation.I recomend "Enochian Vision Magick" from the same author, which is great!

Fantastic and wonderfully allowable book, makes clear the intricacies of the system. So happy to have found this real reference book 😎93s
