Book Review : The Emotion Code
Overall opinion This book really did not contribute much to the sum of occult knowledge. In fact there was little benefit in being written. It provided a number of ways to use the body to dowse information from the subconscious. The focus was healing trapped emotions in the energy body, but its method of dealing…

Book Review: Creating Magickal Entities by David Michael Cunningham
When I was younger I became disillusioned with the books on offer for young magical practitioners. Every book I picked up was designed to feed the ego. It sounds bad, but really they tell themselves they’re building up the audience so it’s done from a place of love. The thing is I value myself. I…

What makes a book occult book?
There are a number of criteria, which I believe make an occult book useful and unfortunately many books fall very short of the mark. People might get upset as to why I review books poorly. They think I am being too harsh. I am actually just trying to demand a better quality of book from…

Book Review Corwin Hargrove Practical Jinn Magick
Perhaps you can cast you mind back to when we had come out of lock down from the Coronavirus, we were slightly worried about a second wave and then we had an incredible heatwave for a week in August. It finally broke with a huge thunder storm. Well that marks the beginning of me working…

Book Review: The Green Witch by Arin Murphy-Hiscock
So often when I crack open this book, I get a real sense of familiarity. Unfortunately this is not a positive sign. So often I feel like I am about to read the same old shit again. This book was a little bit different because it doesn’t regurgitate the circle drawing practices or the wheel…

Jinn Ritual
So I have been working from Corwin Hargrove’s Practical Jinn Magic and noting down a review which gets more complete as I do each spell. I wasn’t a fan at first because when I work with jinn there’s usually a lot of talismans and verses from the Qoran which Hargrove doesn’t bother with, but in…

Review: Apocalyptic Witchcraft by Peter Grey
Never before has a person who wrote about their own take of the witches sabbath, inspired me so much, yet I do not want to repeat a lot of his ritual actions. Seeing his goddess, the earth, raped by the machinery of consumerism really lit a fire in Grey’s heart an this book functions mostly…

Book Review – Earth Alchemy by Glennie Kindred
Immediately the author states in the preface “there are no fixed doctrines in alchemy”. The author says that people should do whatever “feels right and good”, that they should develop their own philosophy, which she calls their own “philosopher’s stone”. Immediately, this book really frustrated me. This is the issue I have with many pagan…
