I say this without sarcasm: it's so dissappointing that occult mumbo jumbo is just mumbo jumbo. It really takes the magic out of magic to learn that Enochian is just an inept relex. I don't think I have time to invent a ritual language, but I'd love to see it happen. If it were my project, I'd start with an attempt to create a euphonious, or at least exotic, phonology. Has anybody already taken this project on? Jim
