    The Abyssal Angels

    The Abyssal Angels,  S. Connolly Almost forgot to post this here! If you weren’t quick enough to get copies of Infernal Colopatiron while they were available, you can get copies of The Abyssal Angels, which is an affordable redux of Infernal Colopatiron (available in inexpensive hardcover, paperback, and ebook) that discusses gate opening and theophany and includes SOME of the information contained in Infernal Colopatiron. However,…

    The Keys of Death

    This booklet is ultimately a supplement to the now available Keys of Ocat: A Grimoire of Daemonolatry Nygromancye and nothing more. It was created as a way to get the death tablets out to my readers in the manner I intended for readers to see them — large and in full color. They lose something in the transition to black and…

    What We’ve Lost

    A Comparison

    I made the observation recently that some occult authors really seem to have a hard time communicating in plain English. This seems to happen a great deal in the realm of “Limited Edition Hardcover” occult publishing. They take an author who writes really pretty sentences and have him write an entire book of them.  While this might be great for…

    Sexism in Magick

    I’d like to address an interesting phenomena that’s been bugging me as of late. And no – don’t take this post as me whining or screaming discrimination. I’m not. I’m just shedding light on something that exists and a lot of people don’t talk about. In general and overall – I’d say there’s very little sexism (if any) among enlightened magicians. I generally…
