Simple question . .
Its my understanding that Mathers edited (removed) certain rituals in the Greater Key . . .
and that A. E. Waite's and Indries Shah's versions/translations have all the 'original' rituals intact.

I assume that Waite's version is in The Book of Ceremonial Magic (is that right, or is there a seperate GKoS by him?)

Does anyone know what/where Shah's version can be found . . . or inside of what other writting of his it would be? (is there a pdf of his?)

Thanks

Greetings,

A. E. Waite never published a GKoS to my knowledge. I could be wrong on that, but I just looked through "The Book of Ceremonial Magic" and all Waite has over the GKoS are a few pages of notes in which he tells to student to find a copy of Mathers' translation. For the Shah translation, you going to want to look for a book called "The Secret Lore of Magic." The only copies which I can find available were published in 1972 and are both rare and out of print. Amazon has about 6 copies left and there are two currently being sold on ebay at the time that I am writing this. If you go the ebay route, all I ask is that you do not bid on the copy who's highest bidder is currenly "ashnook111" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush2.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/censored.gif) The front cover of the book has a damn statue of Pazuzu on it. How I loathe that slimy creature!

Thanks Ashnook . . . . I will double check my reference for Waite (it move a bit quickly, so I probably misunderstood)

Ok, will-do on that ebad must-outbid-ashnook111-whoever thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/13.gif)
Pazuzu on the cover . . . see, you didn't really want that one anyway. lol

Well shoot, I was hoping it was Shah's Oriental Magic . . . $10 cheaper.

(on an off-topic note, is there a relationship between Pazuzu and Melek Taus?...just an ignorance thing)

Thanks again

There is no relationship that I am aware of. Melek Taus is an angel according to the Yazidi peoples, wheras Pazuzu is just an evil (IMG:style_emoticons/default/censored.gif) .
