IDOIGO question, Skrying the AEthrys Options

93 "Discover your unconditioned will (Thelema) and abide by that law of connection alone."

In the text with 19th key in "Gems from the Equinox" Crowley has two foot notes, one is the Change of LIL (a list is given for this,) and the other is the change of IDOIGO in accordance with the AEtheyr which is being skryed. IDOIGO is the upper left hand name on the air tablet running down on the t. idoigo in the text is actually translated from Enocian to "of him that sitteth on the holy throne."

From Crowley's note this seems to make it a specific name called during scrying of LIL, the first aether at least. this would give 15 other angels using the same formula from the squares. This still leaves 14 names unless some are used for more than one aether.

i have not run into any problems with my traveling using IDOIGO but was wondering if anyone was aware of the source behind this note? of course looking at the elements there are manners with which one can place the other names but no translations for them as i am aware. Is anyone else aware of any papers or information re: this matter? I have put together a few interesting possibilities but the systems keep breaking apart.

Blessings and peace!

Care Frater,

No offence taken, my earlier post was dashed off rather quickly and would have benefited from further explanation. I've looked for evidence on which Crowley might have based his comment, but found nothing in the Golden Dawn papers, the Vision and the Voice or Liber Chanokh, but the correction I have referred to could have been Crowley's source. The angel IDOIGO can be found in the air tablet as you have noted but seems to have no connection with LIL which relates to (or contains) three parts of the earth found in the water tablet - Occodon, Pascomb & Valgars. So it's likely this arose from inspiration, or was a mistake by Crowley. The latter seems more likely in my opinion. The word IDOIGO, in common with the other descriptions of god in the Calls, seems to have no elemental affinity and I can see no reason why the word should be changed.

I once invoked the angel IDOIGO to examine whether there is a connection between his name and the word in the Call. He wasn't especially helpful but one of the Heptarchical angels who has proved quite helpful to me in filling in a few gaps indicates that the word expresses different concepts, much like the angel and archangel Michael - same name, separate entities.
