Any >body out there know anything about them or other sources of info >on them? The Aurum Solis stuff is actually one of the best things Llewellyn has ever published. There was a five or six-volume set under the title _The Magical Philosophy_, by Melitta Denning and Osborne Phillips. (I've since seen editions with the volumes combined in various ways. Check your local bookstore.) These books are a compilation of the initiatory system and related materials of a working occult order. The material is vaguely Golden Dawn-ish, but much better organized, and with a somewhat different viewpoint. I disagree with some of their theoretical constructs (which get somewhat Jungian at times), but their practical material is first-rate. Everybody who uses the Enochian magick ends up putting their own unique spin on it in some way. The Aurum Solis added their own special touch in their method of using _Liber Scientiae_. They combined the Second Call with the Call of the Aethyrs to force the manifestation of the Parts towards the material pole of existence, and then concentrated on the numbered "ministers" in each Part. For each set of ministers, they obtained a name, an image of their appearance, and the aspects of existence over which they could exercise control. These ministers, once invoked to evoked to visible appearance, could be put to various purposes.
