Rusty Neon said:Actually, Elemental Dignities (the technique originated by the Golden Dawn and used by Crowley) is a more recent technique than Reversals. The technique of Reversals was around in French taromancy/cartomancy before the Golden Dawn ever existed.
MystiqueMoonlight said:It's important to remember here guys that although Crowley was a member of the Original Golden Dawn (not the New Golden Dawn) he did form his own covent called the Thelemic Golden Dawn. His techniques differed from that of the OGD.
Rusty Neon said:hi MM ... I agree that the esoteric teachings of Crowley's order _Ordo Templi Orientis_ differ in various respects from those of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. However, in the Book of Thoth, in Appendix A, Crowley does describe the card reading method borrowed from the Golden Dawn: the Opening of the Key, consisting of five operations.
Is it your thesis that Crowley didn't use the technique of Elemental Dignities?
