What false information was published by the golden dawn to deceive the profane?

I want to accurately translate 777, book of thoth, and magick in theory and practiceWhat false information was published by the golden dawn to deceive the profane?
It is my understanding that all of the titles you've mentioned have


been either influenced by (such as Liber 777) or written by Aleister


Crowley.





Most of Liber 777 is a table of correspondences in which each item


was assigned a reference to a particular Sephroth or Path on the


';Tree of Life';. A more comprehensive version has been published (see


';source'; below). While these may be considered ';subjective';...they


are an effort at organizing or categorizing the World.





The Book of Thoth would seem to be Crowley's means of linking


particular associations he had with various Atu in the Tarot. Thus they


are to be considered Crowley's Interpretation and some correlations


may be ';open to debate';.





Magick In Theory and Practice is a training or ';introductory'; text and


does not include Numerological Correspondences that are normally


given during classes involving this by the Ordo Templi Orientis.





There is no ';bait and switch'; in any of this that I'm aware of. But they


(by stint of the omission of Numerological Correspondences) may be


considered incomplete.





If you are looking for ';bait and switch';...perhaps you should get a


copy of Necronomicon by Simon (along with a copy of The


Necronomicon Files by Daniel Harms and John Wisdon Gonce III,


which details the whole sordid history of this ';text';)..
