In the next video blog I will talk about which books to buy and which you want to stay away from. This is a list of the books I will talk about. Expect it to be a few parts of the blog since youtube only allows 10 minutes at a time.

A great review-essay on grimoire publishing posted on Hadean Press Blog written by Jake Stratton-Kent.

Yours truly is even mentioned for my work in Both Sides of Heaven.

“Both Sides of Heaven is another compilation, with a most impressive list of contributors (including ardent grimoirists Aaron Leitch, David Rankine, Stephen Skinner, plus Charlotte Rodgers and yours truly). There is much of value here, and I mention but two personal favourites. Gifted academic and occult practitioner Kim Huggens gives an excellent appraisal of the daemons intermediary role between gods and men in the Hellenistic era. Maestro Nestor shares a personal account of his liberation from a truly demonic pact made in his youth, which marked the beginning of his mature path as a grimoire traditionalist.”

My contribution to the book deals with Devils, Demons and how they relate to the art of Traditional Grimoire Magic. I also describe my own experiences with pact magic. Just look at the list of contributors to this anthology and you will know its a book you will not want to miss.
