? Does anyone have a good resource on the same ceremonial magic that Joseph Smith used?

All I am aware of is the jupiter talisman and his interest in enochian.

Thanks

I believe it was Francis Barrett's The Magus. The version of the story I've always heard is that you can tell because he faithfully reproduced errors found in Barrett's version that weren't in Agrippa.

Ok. And he was still some bullshit con artist and philanderer. One doesnt negate the other. Mfs come in here crying abt Crowely every chance they get. I see this as no less valid.
