******I'm afraid not. I have no interest in trying to convince anyone
that they should practice Solomonic Magick. I have often said that
this is a philosophical/spiritual Art Form that no one can or should
be "talked into." Those few who are drawn to the sophisticated and
subjective practice of this Art do not have to be convinced of it's
validity--nor should they be. They will seek out the books and the
teachers with determination far beyond the whims of the curious and
the speculations of dilettantes. It is for this reason that I have no
patience with your type of questions or any particular interest in
your mode of discourse. We present a gateway to the serious
student---who, contrary to your perception---is not looking for a
verbal tennis match and would not respect a teacher who engaged in
such counterproductive activities. You obviously do not want to do
this work and you never did--so you are wasting my time. Sorry but
that is the way it is. And any potential student discouraged by what I
have stated above has failed the first test at the steps of the
Temple. Thanks. At least you helped me to establish that.******

Good Magick!
(for those who really want it)

Friendly old Gnome
