This new book tells my personal story taken from my private diaries and magickal records from around 1966 of an Enochian ritual done through the Ouija board!

All in all, I remembered that this was a time in the Order’s history when the leadership was working hard to project a squeaky-clean, Masonic image and to establish worldwide domination of Thelema (both OTO and A.’.A.’.).
