Lavey, Invocations, And Enochian Options

I was wondering how magickally effective/accurate are the spells/keys given in The Satantic Bible. I was referencing my copy the other day and stumbled upon them again. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences using them?

Greetings!
It has been my observation that you can get results with most any spell or ritual if you approach them correctly. Not all such things ARE constructed to work smoothly because said author(s) know little to nothing about the magical mechanics involved. A good book that illustrates some rather basic techniques/formulations used in proper setup of magical formula is Real Magic by Bonewits. Taken with the opposite approach there are books with some very potent formula in them but unless the student takes the time and effort to use the formula correctly then they will still get nothing. This is a hard lesson to all you aspiring mages...Learn the basics. Understand how spells/formula work before casting else you will get results commensurate with your skill level...ie: from nothing up to partial success. Then there are those rare times when everything just seems to fall together seamlessly. Viola! But it is better to know your stuff rather than letting the Fates intervene with unknown results!
I've read and understand alot of LaVeys subject matter and he had tried to superimpose alot of Enochian over his brand of Satanism...which, IMHO, leaves alot to be desired! But I am merely one voice out of many here...Gather you more information and Good Journey to you! Also...we have some specific classes here by competant Mages who can and will help guide you in the uses of our Arte! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
