Okay... in the spirit of getting this subforum rolling I've got a question for you Hermetic types:
How useful, practical, or effective is the Golden Dawn's assignment of the Goetic spirits to the Minors? Is it just an expression of their completist fervor and the desire to wedge everything into what would become the 777 tables.
For that matter does anyone know of another system relating them to Tarot? I feel like I've seen a million retreads of the basic theurgical qabalistic discussions (i.e. up to 5=6)in a million books and all over the internet, but where's the thaumaturgy?
The GD assignment of "day" and "night" dæmons seems arbitrary at best... and I've never seen anyone DO anything with it in using a GD deck. I know about Paul Huson's writing on the subject, but other than that the subject seems completely unexplored.
Anyone have any insights/anecdotes/observations they'd like to share?
