Scholarly paper for hardcore PGM freaks (footnotes by the score, and it helps if you read Greek) which may be relevant for Crowley's concept of the HGA:
The paper examines the religious and philosophical concept of the personal daimon in the Greek magical papyri in relation to Greek philosophy and especially to the Neo-Platonist philosophers. Questions to be addressed are: What is the nature of the personal daimon? What is the relationship between the personal daimon and the individual and how is this relationship established in magic? Special emphasis is placed on the role of the magico-theurgic ritual of systasis in the process of establishing the relationship with the personal daimon. Finally, the paper examines the relationship between magic rituals, mysteries and philosophy, focusing on the issue of the internalization of the personal daimon.
Contrary to what this person seems to think, hundreds of papers, lectures, presentations and books (both scholarly and occult) have been already published based on the 1986 Betz translation, so Alison Chicosky (who lists H.D. Betz as one of her quoted authors) is hardly alone with the 2022 booklet.
