do you read Austin Osman Spare?

No, though I'm familiar with chaos magic.

You should read 777, it's just a table of correspondences comparing various religions/sciences with eachother, over the sephera. SO krshna or buddha or christ would all be the BEAUTIFUL sephera. It does the same for the pathways etc.

Dion Fortune had some quibbles over the correspondences, and I tend to favor her more. The Mystical Qabalah was an excellent read, clarified quite a bit.

Well if you're a hermetic have you studied Hermes trismigestus? I think i remember sharing alink with you on the subject, the corpus hermeticum? what did you think?

I don't know if I'd call myself a hermeticist, but the rites I perform are of a hermetic origin. Eventually I'd like to read the Corpus Hermeticum, but I have too little time right now.
I have, however, read the Kybalion.
Actually, I'm considering opting out of the GD system for a time to pathwork the Tree of Life. It's just a more accessible approach at this point in my life, though I think I can manage either way I decide.
