Magick Matters

“A Witch’s Guide to Spellcraft” by Althaea Sebastiani

"While there is more to witchcraft than casting spells, it’s hard to deny that spellcraft still plays a key part and is often how many of us start out in the magickal arts. But like most aspects of witchcraft, spellcraft is not easy. Lighting a thousand candles and reciting just as many beautifully rhyming words will not, in themselves, get the job done.

“Daemons of High Magick: Pathworking and Rituals for Lucifer, Bune and Eight Other Daemons” by David Thompson

A beginner's guide to working with daemons using high magick, this is a book version of several of my popular Left Hand Magick classes, with chapters on Lucifer, Bune, Belphegor, Lilith, Ba'al, Paimon, Marbas, Nitika, and others. Working with these daemons has proven to be safe, and highly effective. As intelligent beings, you do not need to restrict them, command them or otherwise work a ritual which binds them. I show how treating them with honor and respect will get awesome results. I'll include my experiences while working with these beings, my results and best methods of summoning them, including new "path working" methods of making contact and presenting your petition. Then there are the new sigils...>>
