Skylight Press has just put out the official launch blog post for By Names and Images. Go here.
Daniel really does draw out some great themes from the book. It is an excellent blog post and well worth reading. To quote just a little:
“But the real gift of this volume is the sheer scope and commentary as to what comprises the Golden Dawn’s actual teachings, rituals and practices. While the rituals have been available in published form for many years this book is different in that it explains the inner workings behind them, with clear, practical instructions for how to visualise each step and what its magical purpose is. In that the Golden Dawn is the main source of esoteric wisdom for the Western Mystery tradition today, the impressive ambit of Wildoak’s study will be of immense value for all those who walk in any such paths. It will also provide a wealth of information for non-practitioners simply seeking an intellectual understanding of this storied order and what it offers in a spiritual or cultural sense to the collective whole. By Names and Images yields an in-depth, and at times painstaking, survey of the tradition’s entire oeuvre, taking time to explain, annotate, and graph each image or symbol in terms of resonance and significance. Each section of the book offers a detailed and clear instruction as to both the ritual practice and internal meaning of concepts such as visualisation, meditation, divination, purification, invocation, evocation, initiation, and the experiential planes. The book is a manual that one can return to again and again, gleaning new methods and reverberations each time.”
Isn’t that nice

"We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the way God’s universe is made; this is the way it is structured." ~

How does my spiritual practice and daily life serve the earth?
How does my spiritual practice and daily life affect the poorest third of humanity?
How will my spiritual practice and daily life affect the generations to come in the future?

“For most of us, however, we only think seriously of food or sex or money when it becomes a problem, which is to say when we feel we are not getting our share. When we find ourselves in that situation then I regret to say that meditational visualisations are really not the best way to remedy the lack. … We are here in a physical condition in a physical world and while in that state we have to abide by the laws appropriate to it.”
"The biblical texts have been strained out through a Greek/Latin mindset, which is very surface and static. I sometimes think it would have actually have been better if Western culture had based so called "Western religion" on Greek philosophy, rather than middle-eastern, because then at least you'd have all one thing. It would be eternally consistent. But what we have now is sort of half of each. And you're left with a basically schizophrenic tradition." 
"Can a horse tell you what it means to be human? How can a horse get beyond the boundaries of being a horse and say what it means to be human? Why do we think a human being can say what it means to be God? And yet we’ve done that; we’ve done that and we said that we’ve got it so right that if you don’t believe it we’ll burn you at the stake. That’s a very strange idea." ~
I’m reading the book now and quite enjoying it. I don’t agree with everything, but I agree with a lot, and there certainly is huge scope in the book. In fact, I started making notes for my review and realised it is going to be huge, so I might need to make an overall review and address individual topics in separate posts.
LVX,
Dean.
Hi Dean – thanks again for the review. Yes, I doubt there would be anyone would agree with the entire work
lol. And in any case, I consciously chose to draw from the most published and known text, that of the Regardie compilations. I wanted it to be useful for the widest possible audience, particularly the solo folk out there. Yes, there is a lot in the book… good luck 
Hi Peregrin,
