Excellent guide into Enochian This is an excellent little book! It takes the complexity of the Enochian system and makes it usable. I can say that this is something many other books on the subject fail to accomplish. Hyatt and Duquette are both experienced and practicing magicians, which instantly comes across in this work, with its "dare to be lazy" attitude. Through experience of my own, I can tell you what the two trademarks of all true magicians are: 1)The ability to laugh, even at the worst horrors, and 2)The ability to throw jargon out the door and discern the heart of every matter while never taking any matter too seriously. The simple reason for these abilities is that by actually doing magick and actually experiencing the magickal universe instead of merely reading about it, these abilities are automatically developed. These are abilities that Hyatt and Duquette both possess, and it sets the tone for this book. If you study its contents, you WILL understand the enochian system, and if you practice its rituals, you WILL be successful, given that you have at least some prior experience in magick. Be forewarned that this is advanced magick, and requires one to be proficient in the basic abilities. The methods taught here are powerful, utilising the potencies of Sex Magick. Enochian Magick in general should not be dabbled with without a thorough foundation. Doing so will either prove useless or expose the dabbler to very real dangers, depending on that person's innate psychic ability. Regardless of what some authors claim, these forces are more than mere phantoms of the mind. They act in a very independent and objective way upon the magician's reality. In other words, they might have other agendas than those of the naive apprentice, and will express these agendas quite violently if their "master" fails to muster the strength to command otherwise. In having said that, I leave the rest over to Hyatt and Duquette. After this the rest is between you and the angels of Enochian Magick. Enjoy!
Summon the Angels of Enoch Hyatt and Duquette put together a splendid ritual using Enochian keys and calls based on Crowley's essay. It explains the charts and tables, that Crowley 'hid' from view, in which, Hyatt and Duquette point out its mystery and explain it in plain English. Somewhat confusing in how to set up the ritual and its entire process, but overall its a clear and concise formula. One should be forewarned, however, that performing these rituals is not to be taken lightly nor to do spontaneously the moment finishing the book. As the authors condone, read it, understand it and its implications: meditate.
IT BROKE THE 'CODE'! Like to tackle Enochian but a little put off by its apparentcomplexity? Read 'Enochian Sex Magick'. It broke the 'code' for meafter several others failed.
Excellent Practice Guide, But Not for the Faint Hearted If there is anything more daunting that the Goetia, it is Enochiana. At least with the Goetia you are merely dealing with devils and demons (the discarded former gods,in other words). Here, however, one is dealing with a system that calls for order and precision, drawn from a selection of materials that seems to lack any order and precision (the original manuscripts by Dee and Kelley are not complete; before being salvaged, they were being used as wrapping papers). Hyatt has done an excellent job of organizing the materials and making it useful.
Like most Western magic (or magick, as some call it), it works, but usually not in the ways expected. Not for the selfish or the faint of heart.

Thelemic Enochiana 101 Less a work about Sex Magick than a very good introduction to the Enochian system as outlined by Crowley, this work exhibits Lon Milo DuQuette's usual strengths: clarity, practicality, wisdom, and wit. Highly recommended to anyone interested in Enochiana.
