Review September 16, 2009

The book arrived in a reasonable amount of time and in excellent new condition.
The book was what I had expected. I was looking for a book with more drawings and lots more definitions. I have been studying Enochian magic and wanted this book. As for the content of the book, I was pleased with what was inside.
 Worst Goetia translation out there. August 14, 2008
Maestro Nestor (Europe, Sweden)

This is probably the worst translation of the Goetia in existance. If it were not for the fact that neither Waite's version in his Book of Ceremonial Magic and Shah's version in Secret Lore of Magic were incomplete they are actually closer to the original the Mather's and Crowley's version is.
The big problem with all the versions that have Mather's and or Crowley's name on them are that they are edited and not in original. The seals for example are changed from its original form and redone with 2 protective circles around them. This is not the case in the originals they used. The circle of the art is also changed and do not contain a snake with the names within it. They do not mention these changes so you can not actually trust anything in their translation.
If you want a good translation of the Goetia and the Lemegeton buy Petersons edition or Skinner and Rankines version or Dr Rudds Goetia.
 Enochian Calls December 5, 2007

I have found this Grimoire of the Goetia to be very effective for conjurations and creating Magick. At least in my opinion, one of the key factors is that the Enochian calls at the end of the book are exact and powerful. Note that other users of the Enochian Calls for the Goetia Demons have in the most part used different versions, and I have found that these different versions do not work at all, or as well at best, for conjurations. I also like the orginal Aleister drawings.

I had to get rid of this book, it brought an evil presence that broke up my home.
Please be careful with this book.
This is great, too. February 14, 2007

This is another Mather translation I really like. eh. idunno. I find this sort of 'stuff' fascinating. Like The Greater Key, this is put together rather tastefully. I think that is why I enjoy this particular type of 'esoteric lore' or whatever. It's not garish. Well, not too garish. That would be the smarter thing to say. And, Mr. Crowley's wit and 'artistic stylings' (!) are ever-present. The majority of the artwork was taken from Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal. Pretty gothic-vibe to it. All around fun. fun. fun.
