Sorry I didn't reply sooner.

I haven't read that book in at least 15 years, so my recollection of it is so-so. I remember finding it interesting, but don't recall anything overly compelling about it.

Having read on Wicca/Witchcraft, I'm always interested in the various takes on the Goddess, but I've never been fond of the elevated position given to Goddess over God, personally feeling more of a balance is required, as is stated in the Golden Dawn book Z-1: THE ENTERER OF THE THRESHOLD -

Of the Temple in reference to the Sephiroth. The Temple, as arranged in the Neophyte Grade of the Order of the Golden Dawn in the Outer, is placed looking towards the YH of YHVH in Malkuth in Assiah. That is, as Y and H answer unto the Sephiroth Chokmah and Binah in the Tree, (and unto Abba and Aima, through whose knowledge alone that of Kether may be obtained.)


where Abba is, of course, Father and Aima, Mother.

I've always been disappointed, also, that many turn to Wicca to find their "God and Goddess," when the parallel symbolism has been available in the Golden Dawn system all along.

But, you've made me curious, so I promise I'll dig it out over the weekend end refresh my memory.

In LVX,
