Who else is out there?
How the Western tradition maps the unseen: the angelic hierarchies and the angels of time, fallen angels and the demons of the grimoires, the Olympic spirits, fairy lore, the honoured dead and Dee's Enochian system — with discernment, protection and good sense; and the Enochian Keys, Watchtowers and Aethyrs as the Golden Dawn and Crowley worked them.

Not required — but the lessons build on what these teach.
Daimones, angels, fairies, ancestors and spirits of place — and how to think about them.
The archangels of the quarters, planetary angels, and the Abramelin operation.
The nine choirs, from the Seraphim to the guardian angels — where they come from and how magicians use them.
The Heptameron's angels of the week, Agrippa's planetary intelligences, the zodiac angels and the 72 names of the Shem ha-Mephorash.
The seven planetary governors of the Arbatel of Magic and its gentle, ethical magic.
What British and Irish tradition actually says about fairies, and the old etiquette.
Building an ancestor practice — shrines, offerings, remembrance and boundaries.
Dee and Kelley's angelic language, the Calls, the Watchtowers and the Aethyrs.
Where demons come from in Western tradition — Enoch's Watchers and their forbidden arts, the adversary of Job, and the fall of Lucifer.
From the Greek daimon to the catalogues of hell — the Testament of Solomon, Weyer's list, Binsfeld's princes and the Dictionnaire Infernal.
The most notorious grimoire — its legend, ranks and seals, what the spirits were said to do, how the operation was structured, and how to approach it today.
How the traditions test spirits, the warning signs to watch for, and a safe routine for any work with angels, spirits or demons.
The working parts of Dee and Kelley's angelic system — the forty-eight Keys, the Great Table of the four Watchtowers and the Tablet of Union, the thirty Aethyrs opened by the nineteenth Key — and what the Golden Dawn and Crowley did with them.
