The first text I examined was the Kybalion and I was surprised at how easily I was able to fit its principles into what I had already learned on my own. Up to this point, I thought that I might be crazy, because I seemed to see things that others did not, but this introduction to Kabbalah, convinced me that I was not crazy, since I had been able to teach myself Kabbalah without ever having to study a Kabbalic text.

Question...
Is Enoch not considered to be Hermes in Islamic tradition?

I am so far behind you with my studies, fill me in please.
I'm just now making the connection myself, or so it seems to be a connection.
Modern Magick by Kraig and Self Initiation... by the Ciceros really have two different focuses. Kraig's book is intended to teach you practical ceremonial magick. The Cicero's book is meant to guide you through an initiatory path *similar to* the work you would do in a functioning Temple.
If you choose to use them together, I suggest you start with the Cicero's book. Then once you have completed the Portal gradwork, start with Kraig's lessons. In fact, in such a case, you would do well to complete the Self Initiation book and then study Kraig's book alongside of Regardie's "The Golden Dawn." Do that, and you'll have a solid foundation in GD material and nearly any Temple in the world would be happy to have you.

This all goes back to God confusing mankind to delay their progress toward building the temple.
