Why does this article come under the umbrella banner of the Thelema section? The Goetia material and practice is in itself not Thelemic since the user of the goetia has to make appeasements and supplements to the Christian god to protect themselves. The only way i can see it relevant to Thelema has a topic is Crowley bastardising the bornless ritual to make Liber Samekh for his student Bennettt. But beyond that it doesnt merit inclusion under the Thelema umbrella section. Also why has no one bothered with the history of The Goetia and its various forms?--Redblossom (talk) 12:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps because this article is about a specific book by Mathers and Crowley and not the general article on the topic, which is ay Goetia? Will in China (talk) 18:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
