So I began my aethyric work. The vision was different from my elemental/kabbalistic skrying experiments. The entities in them felt more "real," though the visions weren't quite as vivid on a visual scale. I also had a hard time picking up the voices so far. Things seemed to come much more as thoughts and impressions than as images. I also felt like I was deeper in trance than I've been in a long time. Anyways, without further ado, here is my experience with TEX, the 30th Aethyr:
I vibrated the names of the aethyr. Suddenly I saw a strange spiral. I followed my vision down the spiral and saw four giant robed beings towering over me. All were very thin and slender. They spoke and welcomed me. Their voice sounded like the Borg on Star Trek. The one directly in front was TAOAGLA. To my right was ADVORPT. To my left was GEMNIMB. Behind me was DOZINAL. I was welcomed and told I’d be allowed to proceed. They said something about me being “The First.“ They said to go through a small door between TAOAGLA and ADVORPT. I went through it, and there was a sun like color. Suddenly I went through another door, and another, and another.
Eventually, I was thrust into a great vast field filled with children playing. There was a tree before me. It looked like an apple tree. Suddenly I had images of it burning, then of rushing water, back to the field. I asked how I could better see. They said to open my eyes. I did as they said and gazed into the mirror. As my vision began to swirl, I felt a voice telling me to look beyond the mirror. I closed my eyes and returned to the same spot.
TAOAGLA was standing before me, this time closer to my height. I got voices saying that these children represented the innocence I had neglected through cynicism. I rushed down a river and into a church. I asked what this place was. TAOAGLA almost sarcastically replied “A Church.” I asked who’s church.
“Your church.”
“Mine?”
“Everybody’s.”
“You said something about me being the first.”
He said something somewhat incomprehensible about me being the first from my position in some sort of vast continuum. I’m not entirely sure. Perhaps he was referring to the fact that I am multiple entities? I asked what else I could learn. All the sudden I got images of walls I have put up. How my very conception of reality were walls. I got a song stuck in my head with a choir of children singing, “Tear it down! Tear it down!”
I opened my eyes, and closed them again, to see what was in the room. All four governors were in the “Astral” equivalent of the room. They informed me that even if I banished they would not be gone. I asked what the point in banishing was. They said “there are others who come.” Quite creepy. I asked how I could take what I learned back to my world. I had thoughts in my mind about retaining childhood imagination and heard the “tear it down” song running through my head.

Enochian - The Start of a New Adventure
So far my experiments with using aspects of enochian magic have been fascinating. About a month ago, I finished doing a set of skrying experiments where I used enochian to augment golden dawn elemental invocations, and then sat down and skryed. I got astounding results, far better than I ever did when I attempted working with the tattwas.
I've also had some interesting experiences when evoking entities off the tablets, both working solo, and working with a designated seer.
So now that I've dipped my toes in the water, I think its about time to dive into the system full force. I plan on starting with the Aethyrs, using the methods outlined in DuQuette's "Enochian Vision Magick." I'll probably use this blog as a way to outline insights I receive (omitting personal information of course).
