Summary: Warning, this book may be dangerous...
Review: Gerald Schueler has made his own enockian system wich has completely destryed my life. These rituals are extremely powerfull and dangerous. I suffer from cronic schizophrenia due to enockian rituals. These beings want nothing but to destroy humanity.....Once you go up in the higher spheres, there's no going down..In this book Schueler portrays his pathwork to the abyss of the univerce and the end of humanity. This material is made to kill innocent people. Mary

Summary: Deceptive Title, Complicated
Review: I found that the title was very deceptive. Instead of what you would think, it was not a guide to ascension to Divine Union, but rather a complicated set of instructions for constructing a temple or something...to tell the truth, I couldn't understand alot of it and didn't finish the book. I have seen some other things the Schueler's have put out and I question their accuracy in thier information. I suggest reading works by John Dee and know the basics before reading this book.

Summary: Enochian Pathworking
Review: I found this book to be a very powerful system of Enochian Magick- the Schuelers have a unique take on the the Enochian system- many people are quite critical of Schueler's works which may not be entirely unjustified- from their heavy theosophical leanings to their weird personal revelations in their books- but, come on now people, the Golden Dawn twisted the original revelations to fit their purposes and intents- why can't any one else? If you want basic Enochian teachings from a Golden Dawn/Crowley perspective read Enochain Sex Magick but if you want something unique and different try this book...

Summary: Deceptive Title, Complicated
Review: The cover blurbs of this book are deceptive; it neither about messages from angels nor about sex-magick. It is basically a step-by-step "grimoire" for an imaginary temple constructed from the elements of the Enochian "Great Table". There is nothing wrong with the basic idea, but the book is marred by (among many other things) the use of Schueler's private system of correspondences, by his preference for "Calls" of his own devising rather than those given to Dee, and by his questionable system of making god-names out of the names of angels. The student would be better off -- and probably safer -- taking the basic idea and revamping it to fit more closely to the original material.
