enochian magick pele ring and temple garments connection

i have independently found elements in the temple ceremony in some of my old occult books (that joseph smith reportedly had in his day), e.g. the pele ring (from the year 1583):

look at that square symbol (from enochian magick) and you will see all the marks on the temple garment: the L, V, and the horizontal line, on top of an O, which represents the navel =)

and then there's the word PELE. sound familiar?
"pay-lay-ale"
=)

i haven't read all of d michael quinn's book early mormonism and the magic world view, so i'm not sure if he has noticed this.

Q. occult and magick forums - "witch" is best? =)

athena w recommends the solomonic secrets of the grimoires yahoo forum
theres also the abramelin yahoo group.
here are some possible other candidates (i havent fulled reviewed them, but let me know your experiences):
occultcorpus.com
occultforums.net
occultforum.org

update: athena w has started a conjuration forum.

occult literature

a lot of occult literature can be found free online in one place called esotericarchives.com. also check out the internet sacred texts archive. spiritualis librae also has some interesting info.

i also recommend reading the pages on enochian.org. athena seems to have much experience with magick.

in this list of specific books you'll notice things like the bible and the qur'an. this is because the occult is the search for truth and truth is not confined to just one place.

here's a list of religious texts.

here's my (ongoing) list of important texts:
the old testament
the new testament
vulgate
the book of mormon
doctrine and covenants
pearl of great price
qur'an (english)
lemegeton (clavicula salomonis) / the lesser key of solomon / Pseudomonarchia Daemonum / goetia
the satanic bible
the satanic scriptures
book of the sacred magic of abramelin the mage
777 And Other Qabalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley

i am finding that a lot of literature is available online, try searching for the title + pdf, e.g.:
lesser key of solomon pdf

a good idea is to read user reviews of books on amazon, and not just the 5 star ones, read them all. look for reviews with specifics and even recommendations of other books. i always start from the bottom (1 star reviews) then work my way up. exercise caution with books with only 5 stars from only a handful of reviewers.

witchcraft suggestions (i havent reviewed these myself yet):
The Horn of Evenwood by Robin Artisson
Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson
Call of the Horned Piper by Nigel Aldcroft Jackson
Masks of Misrule by Nigel Jackson

see also the list of occult and magick forums.
