The sad truth is that most occult books are 93% fluff. They start by telling you why you need what they’re selling you, then they maybe give some examples of how it’ll work, and then if you’re lucky, they give you concrete info on how to make it happen.
This one, by Damon Brand, is no real exception. I think I was 50 “pages” in before I got anything useful, but to be fair, this book was formatted for an e-reader, so the pages are SMOL.
First, it basically says to visualize lightning as the connecting medium when summoning. This makes sense. Lightning is very powerful, and it’s an easy thing to visualize.
Then it declares itself to be kind of piggybacking off of, and correcting, The Miracle of New Avatar Power by Geof Gray-Cobb. Typical Hebrew “corrections.” Arzel is a shortcut to Raziel, Ankar is Nah-Kar, etc. Gives a few very simple rituals to perform. Importantly, it claims there is no karmic backlash.
Then specific guidelines on constructing the requests, which is important. State your main intent, what you wish to manifest, how it will make you feel, a synopsis of the problem, and how you will cooperate (the promise).
Ooh, then there’s a nice aspect, a positive surprising plot twist. He goes on after describing the ritual, and adds that it’s also good to share the results of your requests. I braced myself for the occult gofundme equivalent, but no, he also means to share the magickal power itself, to work that request into the closing seal, to share the power with so-and-so, or “whoever needs it most.”
Weirdly, he puts the “how to use this book” section AFTER describing the ritual. So I might have just read/skimmed the meat of the book.
He says to begin the working on a Thursday and continue it for eleven days. Oddly specific.
Yep. It goes into a final detailed summary of the Master Ritual, then the entire rest of the book is a dictionary of the angels you’ll be working with.
Quite a handy little book, if working with angels works for you.
