An in depth look into the mechanics of European Occult societies usage of the Tarot as a means of divination. ( ) This book isn't as salacious as the title might otherwise indicate. It's basically a reissue of Crowley's 72 spirit correspondences plus a couple additional chapters. If you know what the Goetia is, this might be worth a look to you. If you don't know the difference between a goetia, a goitre or gomorrah, this book won't be the least bit interesting. The cover image is a good choice - thank goodness New Falcon Publications didn't make this look like a Black Sabbath album cover. Artist David Wilson's work is sub-standard and really lessens the overall quality of the publication. Chapter 4, however, recounting an evocation gone wrong of Orabas is absolutely hysterical and reads like a cross between Dr. Faustus and a Peter Sellers movie. I read this because I was curious as to what the whole Keys of Solomon thing is about. This book basically goes through the steps of how to summon a demon, but it is obviously a bunch of malarcky. Although I did enjoy reading it a bit more than some other Christian Mythology, which is really what this is... Christian Mysticism and Mythology. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

In 1904, Aleister Crowley commissioned, edited, and introduced an English translation of The Book of Goetia of Solomon the King, the first of five magical texts known as the Lemegaton. Yet, few have actually worked the system, believing one must con-form blindly to the archaic procedures and long-winded conjurations of the original text. But Crowley's attitude toward the Goetia appears to have been different. His masterful expansion and perfection of the "Preliminary Invocation of the Goetia" -- is a prime example. Now, Christopher Hyatt has joined with Lon Milo DuQuette and David P Wilson to glean extraordinary magical and philosophical treasures from this most misunderstood subject.
