So much better.

I'd love to know what you're basing that opinion on Tsuji.

As for you Kaine, I was mildly impressed when you happened to come up with a relevant reply, unfortunately you're wrong. The Lesser Key of Solomon was translated in part by MacGregor Mathis, who was largely considered a fraud by his contemporaries. Crowley certainly believed so, and broke all ties with the Golden Dawn because of it.

If you were familiar with the text, or had even read the page you snatched the image from, you'd find that it is highly stylised and not a common variation of the circle. It might suit the purpose, yet the use is limited specifically to the rituals for summoning the 72 spirits listed in the Ars Goetia. The Thelemic variation Crowley gave is much more flexible, and a hell of a lot more practical. I'll leave it at that for now, I wouldn't want to destroy your one chance to prove you aren't an empty-headed fuckwit before you've started.

I find it rather disturbing you know that much about demonology.

I like playing make believe too. Let's you get away with killing your assistant while fucked up on peyote in the desert I hear.

Your knowledge of grimoires is superior to mine, I'll give you that.. however I couldn't find a picture of the original so that's the best example of the Lemegeton I could find..

The original? You mean the four hundred year old document that isn't something you run around telling people you own? I'm not surprised. For the record, the picture you posted is actually Crowley's work. To use one of the memes you seem so infatuated with, it was a trap. You blindly walked into it. Thanks for playing.

It isn't demonology. I also fail to see what is so disturbing about it. Does it bother you that people are religious?

[Aleera]

When I googled "The Lesser Key of Solomon", it came up as a grimoire pertaining to demonology. And no, I'm not bothered by people who are religious, because I was under a different impression about what you were speaking of.
