The book claims that these Gates open to seven zones above the Earth, and that the Gates were known to the Chaldeans, followers of Greek texts written in the 2nd cent. BC by Julius the Theurgist. Such followers included, in the modern era, the Golden Dawn, whose membership rolls included, as a high-ranking member, Aleister Crowley. |
