3 stars because its technically incomplete, and a further translation of the Lesser Key appears to have been the intent.

So the Goetia is a pretty interesting work that on first looks seams to be a catalogue of unholy entities. Getting deeper into it though it would appear to be a labeling and mapping of an earlier (earliest?) version of something akin to Jungs “collective unconscious”.

Crowley’s introduction states that these entities are names given to parts of the subconscious and that the ritual and language used is in effect an accessing and cataloguing of our own internal functions. While this may seem heady it does fit with other similar modes of thinking (i.e. the Qabalah is a thought computer).

The Goetia to me seems best as a supplemental resource to be used in comparison with other readings, and practices.
