1.0 out of 5 stars An utter waste of money on a fraudulent author, January 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Enochian Workbook: A Complete Guide to Angelic Magic Presented in 43 Easy Lessons (Llewellyn's high magick series) (Paperback)

Please heed my warning and save yourself some money. Do not buy this book. There are many, many other books on the market by people who actually use the system of Enochian Magick that will be able to explain concepts and procedures much more accurately and succinctly then Gerald and Betty Scheuler will ever do.

One of the things that the book engaged in was a belittlement of my intelligence. The "Educational" approach seemed to be nothing more then a guis in which the Scheuler's hid their absolute ignorance of the subject. The chapters looked like they were designed to be read by a person of the first grade! Not only this, but they interjected a lot of their own speculations on the subject with no citations at all, or even excerpts from any attempted scryings or workings that they may have performed.

Another downfall of the book is their attempt to "Enochianize" other rituals. Rather then going into a detailed explanation of the Calls, they present other, more obtuse items, such as an "Enochian LBRP". Upon close study of these rituals, however, you will notice that they even lack a thorough understanding of the Enochian language itself!

I could go into many, many more points of the book, and why it is a complete piece of drivel, but that would be beating a dead horse. If you are interested in truly studying the Enochian system, then please buy Donald Tyson's book on the subject, as well as Geoffrey Jame's rendition of the original Diaries.

1.0 out of 5 stars I would only recommend not buying it., August 2, 2001

This review is from: The Enochian Workbook: A Complete Guide to Angelic Magic Presented in 43 Easy Lessons (Llewellyn's high magick series) (Paperback)

While it does have a plethora of material on the Enochian system of John Dee and the concept of a workbook is good, the material is riddled with holes and inconsistencies. It's sort of a convoluted attempt to mix Golden Dawn, Crowley and John Dee but there are no clues to where anything comes from. Crowley and John Dee alone were two very different people and had two very different approaches to the subject. While I tend to be a purist I can't actually see how this book would help a beginning student grow in the subject matter (unless they are only reading the Schueller's other books) and as for an advanced student it really useless. I don't want to knock the Schueller's as Gerald Schueller's Enochian Physics is actually very thought-provoking. I just tend to think that this one of Llewellyn's books that are put out for mass consumption with very little regard for scholarship or the editorial process.

This book is great for someone who has a hard time understanding the principles of the enochian. This book starts with the basics and slowly introduces the student into practical magic. It is also a great reference book to their other works and offers information not found elsewhere.
