Dear TMN, >> I found your answer rather interesting and wondered if I could press you further; by inquiring into the derivation of the word goetia, i.e., before it was used in its reference to the Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon. I wonderd if it orginaly referd to a people or a region. << I have no idea. I suggest that you look it up in a really good dictionary. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 03 Oct 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
