Nocturnal Witchcraft: Magick After Dark

“When the essence of the shadows and darkness empowers you, yet you don’t feel evil, you are good-dark,” writes Konstantinos (Vampires; Summoning Spirits), as he calls believers to the practice of Nocturnal Witchcraft. Konstantinos writes for people primarily within the Wiccan tradition who feel at home with the night and lunar energies. He reiterates throughout this manual, however, that to draw one’s strength from the energies of the night is not at all the same as intending to do dark deeds. In fact, this guidebook might be regarded as a fundamental Wiccan primer save for the fact that Konstantinos turns to night-based rituals and primarily, but not exclusively, to the pagan pantheons of Egypt, Greece and Sumeria to harness good human desires to the yoke of such deities as Hypnos (Night Personified), Pasht (Dark Moon), Nanna (Full Moon), Kali (Protection), Persephone (Descent and Rebirth) and Annubis (Underworld and Death). His ceremonial instructions are clearly described, but the book’s chief flaw is that readers must recognize themselves as “good-dark.” They are imprecisely beckoned with not much more to go on than “Do you dress in black? Favor silver jewelry? Does being surrounded by the shadows, by the essence of the night, appeal to you?” For those readers self-identified with the night whatever that means his text may offer just the words they have been waiting for; others will find it as obscure as its subject matter.

Summoning Spirits: The Art of Magical Evocation

Now you can learn how to evoke and communicate with 50 spirit entities and make use of their abilities, when you get Summoning Spirits by Konstantinos.

Evoking spirits is one of the most powerful magical techniques you can use-but, until now, most of the material available on evocation has been virtually unusable because it was written by those with little practical evocation experience. Summoning Spirits was written by a practicing magician who has successfully performed many evocations. With his guidance and clear directions, performing evocations will be easy and safe for anyone.

·Learn to safely evoke powerful spirits to aid you with any task
·Create sigils charged with the energy of spirits to magnify the effects of your evocations
·Make an etheric egregore, a manufactured spirit that will perform the task of your choice
·Perform easy exercises to train your magical abilities and to develop clairvoyance and clairaudience
·Construct, prepare, and use special magical tools to aid your evocations
·
Summoning Spirits is a complete manual for evoking entities to effect positive changes in your life. Learn how the spirits that dwell on the other planes can be evoked to the astral and physical planes to help you obtain mystical abilities, locate hidden “treasure,” and even command a spirit “army” to protect your home while you’re away.

Summoning Spirits describes the specific attributes and abilities of 50 entities that you can evoke to uncover valuable knowledge, and who will help you succeed in nearly any task, magical or mundane.

Whether you need help to face life’s challenges or to work a minor miracle, you will find the art of magical evocation a tremendously potent tool for change. Included are information and theory, as well as full instructions for all the rituals you will need to prepare for and then evoke spirits. No other book makes this ancient magical technique as easy to understand and use, as does this one. That’s why you must get Summoning Spirits.

Hands On Chaos Magic: Reality Manipulation through the Ovayki Current

Andrieh Vitimus has an easy going and quite humerus writing style that does not set out to confuse anyone with higher magical terminology unlike countless other books on the subject. It is all explained quite easily in layman’s terms and is ideal for both the novice and adept alike. Each chapter contains what Andrieh calls “games” and the purpose of these games is to build upon the magician’s skill and training to help build himself up to the more intense rituals later on in the book.. Hands on Chaos magic is not intended to be read from cover to cover in one sitting, The idea is to read a chapter fully understand it and the wisdom it contains and play the “game” so to speak whilst building your own journal of notes on your own personal findings to fall back on as a reference at a later point in time.
There is no overlying mythology here the system and techniques can be employed by anyone no matter what you are studying, this is the beauty of chaos magic, there is not set in stone guidelines and complicated outdated mumbo jumbo that only the adept can comprehend, This is a magic system that is flexible enough to accommodate both the old, the new and also your own magic from within !
