To: alt.magick,alt.magick.order,alt.magick.tyagi,alt.thelema,alt.pagan.magick From: "Fr. A.o.C."Subject: Re: The Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn (LONG response to 333) Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2003 05:02:05 GMT Thank you, Frater. Let me point out that your book on the Ciphers is the reference we use when working on our redacted rituals. (You bumped Darcy K. from that exalted position!) Your insights in the footnotes, as well as the chapters of history and analysis, have been a highly valuable resource for us, and we recommend your book highly. - Fr. A.o.C.
