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! Aleister Crowley himself not only wrote about the Ouija board, but he advocated its use! If it were only a parlor game, would the likes of the Great Beast have given this implement…
