As for ravenest's question. I have not gotten very far with Enochian practices. Mostly because it is very complex to understand so I am having difficulties getting a solid starting point.
That's the thing with Enocian and it is somewhat notorious for that ... but also 'notorious' for the dynamic that all of a sudden one gets to a point and it all locks very well naturally together.
I think it was duQuette (?) who insisted that this was easily overcome by drawing up the tablets from their first principles (not just copying them down but looking at the first principle - 4 'square' tablets and a 'cross' tablet, draw them; each one is divided by four, do that; each one has a 'calvary cross' mark and colour them ... and so on ... eventually one will realise what the next square is in colour and symbol without looking it up as the sequence is understood).
Crowley's brief exposition in the preface to Liber Chanok is the most confusing statement on Enochian ever written (because it is so brief, concise and to the point) for one who hasn't yet grasped the system, but it is the most erudite, brief concise and simple explanation ever written for anyone that has grasped the system
PS. I'm with you on the Thoth ... I used to read Thoth and RW but after a while .... what's the point (aside from looking at Pamela's artwork) ... RW has become VERY dusty in this house.
