Does anyone here have any impression of the magic workings of Benjamin Rowe?
Furthermore, I dont know much information about him, does anyone have any biographical information not on wikipedia.org?

Re: impressions, knowledge, of benjamin rowe
Sun, November 27, 2005 - 9:44 PMI like rowe's work but i find some of his claims hard to believe like how in the book of the seniors he claims to be the living incarnation of the egyptian godform set as well as far too many other past life claims like being john dee's reincarnation, also in book of seniors he claims to be a member of an astral order and I believe he alludes to crowley being his opponent in that order, making claims that crowley tried to operate using symbolism stolen from him (crowley's not specifically mentioned but this seems to be the case) because these two souls have an ancient battle for supremacy...his enochian references were well organized and to the point however and he had some interesting esoteric insights into other system, often times from his enochian workings.... -

Mon, November 28, 2005 - 2:51 PMVery interesting. I knew about the reference to Set, but I could find the reference in the book of seniors to the astral order you refer to. -

Wed, November 30, 2005 - 5:43 PMI just now got that he referred to himself as Set. Did I misread that? I have to go back and look. -

Fri, October 27, 2006 - 8:09 AMYeah, Ben Rowe went off the Edge. He wrote all this whacky stuff about Set sitting in his boring govt. job, he was a career civil service beauracrat. His total contribution is really minimal, overall. He got lung cancer from chain smoking 5 packs a day.

Sun, December 10, 2006 - 5:35 PMI like his stuff. His Enoghicna Magick Reference shows a lot of scholarship and a deep understanding of enochian magic. I consider his works the most valuable enochiana outside of Crowley and the OTO.
As for his biographical info, why sling stones at him? Hell, Crowley considered himself Eliphas Levi's reincarnation, the biblical Beast from Revelations and the so-called prophet of the New Aeon and affected other grandiose titles for himself. Does that make them crazy?
Depends on whose running the personality cult when they die, it seems.
