Members,
In section 47, Book III of Crowley's Book of the Law in his initial commentary
he stated that 'the letters of the Book are the letters of the Book of Enoch;
and are totems of starts.' However, in his final commentary he stated: 'the
attribution (in the old Comment) of the letters to those of the Book of Enoch
are unsupported.' My question is was Crowley referring to The Book of Enoch as
transcribed by Dee and Kelley ( in Sloane MS 3189 I believe it is off the top of
my head, may be mistaken) or that of the Apocrypha, or is there any way to
know. This really raises the bigger question of did AC consult the British
Library or the Bodleian when doing his work on the Enochian system. I have not
been able to find any documentation as to whether or not he ever did.
Thanks.
Bob
