Enochian Temples: Generating the "Abyss" Experience with the Temple


by Benjamin Rowe © 1987, 1992


WARNING: The technique described herein can be VERY DANGEROUS to the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of the magician who makes use of it. I am releasing it solely because full disclosure was one of the requirements under which the Enochian Temple system was originally given to me. The entities who provided the basic information feel that people can not grow to spiritual adulthood without being exposed to adult hazards. My experience of the results prevents me from being quite so
cold-blooded. The same goals can be accomplished by more gradual means, as those entities have stated themselves. The magician who choses to use this technique must take full personal responsibility for both the decision to do so, and for any events resulting from its use. Should a magician want use it despite this warning, he or she should do so only after constructing a strong, fully charged Temple which includes the altars of the sub-elements. And any invocations using this technique should be immediately preceded by the erection of the strongest wards the magician is capable of constructing.

MAGICIAN OF MANY PARTS


INTRODUCTION


WRITING to his friend Louis Wilkinson, on 7 April 1945,Aleister Crowley
remarked-in uncharacteristicallycharitable fashion--!Ifit had not been for Waite,
I doubt if, humanly speaking, I should ever have got in touch with the Great
Order.' Inevitably he prefixed this praise with abuse: 'Waite certainly did start
a revival of interest in Alchemy, Magic, Mysticism, and all the rest. That his
scholarship was so contemptible, his style so over-loaded, and his egomania so
outrageous does not kill to the point of extinction, the worth of hiscontribution.'
Even this is muted criticism for Crowley; more often he heaped abuse on Waite
with gusto, tingeing it with venomous personal attacks that were as unjustified
aswere his assaults on Waite's writing. His characterization of Waite (in his novel
Moonchild) as'EdwinArthwait', 'a dull and inaccurate pedant without imagination
or real magical perception', is more a reflection ofhis self-perception. But why
should Crowley, flamboyant, indifferent to public opinion and public morals,
and with aperpetual circle of sycophantic acolytes, be so exercisedwith the need
to condemn a man he perceived as a fellow occultist?
