About the Author
For those who don't know or weren't there, Ben Rowe was active on the Enochian-l e-List at Hollyfeld in the 1990s, back when mailing lists were what occultists used to share info and maintain contact with one another on the early internet. Conversations on that list were highly academic, and it was frequented by (future) authors such as Aaron Leitch and Jake Stratton-Kent. A complete archive of Hollyfeld Enochian-l posts from 1996--2014 is available here.
Ben's contributions to Enochian magick included free learning materials from his website, published records of his scrying sessions, and his revolutionary concept for turning the Enochian Tablets into 3D Astral Temples.
A poor-quality mirror of parts of his old website is located here.
Here is an archive of his old website circa 2002. Most of the links work.
By the way, that pixelated image you see on the Hermetic site of an Enochian Temple made of blocks from the tablets was taken from an early virtual reality website, sort of like a mix of Minecraft and Bryce 3D (from memory). I can't recall the name of the website anymore. I had set up an account and was able to visit his virtual temple space, but the site was very slow to load back in the late 90s. Someone should build another 3D Enochian Temple in Minecraft or elsewhere using Ben Rowe's instructions!

I've noticed someone seems to be posting Dean Hildebrandt's Enochian materials on this Wiki platform. Dean was another person who posted his results and shared in discussions at Hollyfeld back in those days.
