Notes:

1. This does not 100% match Mysteria Magica. There seems to be an error in both editions of Mysteria Magica. On page 45, the Divine Name for Fire is "MPH ARSL GAIOL" and the Divine Name for Water is "OIP TEAA PDOCE." On page 175 in the Enochian Texts, the table there lists the Divine Name for Fire as "OIP TEAA PDOCE" and the Divine Name for Water (on page 173) as "MPH ARSL GAIOL." The second set, listed in the Enochian Texts, is consistant with the derivation of these names in the Golden Dawn and other groups. One must assume the list on page 45 has been accidentally reversed.
