The Book of Sitra Achra: A Grimoire of the Dragons of the Other Side
The Book of Sitra Achra is the first complete and completely Qliphothic Grimoire, providing the foundation for a Spiritual and Transcendental Initiatic approach towards the Other Side. Within the system and Tradition presented inside this book the very essential core of the Current 218 is for the first time ever made public, dispelling both the smoke screens and the misconceptions surrounding the Anti-Cosmic Tradition of Gnostic Satanism/Luciferianism, providing to those that hear and heed the Voiceless Call of Azerate the means for the entering and traversing of the Path of Black Fire, towards the Thrones of the Dragons of the Other Side.
The Tradition outlined in this Grimoire is in some of its aspects pertaining to the symbolism employed based on certain for us fundamental concepts derived from the Heresy of Sabbatai Zevi, as transmitted by the prophet Nathan of Gaza, such as the dichotomy between the Cosmic Light of Creation and the Anti-Cosmic Light of the Qliphothic Impulse. While this most important concept imbues the whole Work, the Tradition presented within this book takes the matter far deeper towards the Side of Qliphoth than what the Sabbatian traditions ever had or would, until a Gnostic form of Anti-cosmic Satanism/Luciferianism emerged perfectly suited for the Embodiment of the Current 218, not with the goal of separation and isolation from the True Divinity, like what most other forms of the so called "satanic" or "Left Hand Path" traditions seem to advocate and strive for, but instead setting as the highest goal to indeed merge and become as one with the Unbound Essence of Divinity in the Fullness of the Emptiness of Ain, beyond all limitations, illusions and finite duality.
The Book of Sitra Achra - A Grimoire of the Dragons of the Other Side provides in an unapologetic manner insight into one of the most maligned and vilified traditions, in order to shed the Light of Truth on the most controversial aspects of the Current 218 in order to both guide the sincere seekers of the Black Light and at the same time dispel those misguided and/or misguiding individuals who in a profane manner have or would approach the Anti-Cosmic Tradition for all the wrong reasons, mistaking it for all those things that it in actuality opposes and serves to eliminate.
The Qliphothic Path outlined in this Grimoire is not to be connected to any other system that has been made public so far and is in its approach and essence a totally unique form of Initiatic Ceremonial Magic, stretching from this to the Other Side, establishing the pathways and gates through which the adept may strive to become as one with the Eleven-Headed Ruler of the Tree of Wisdom, Unfated Death and Liberation from all cosmic limitation.
May each Spirit belonging to the Other Divinity find within this Grimoire the Black Light that shall guide each step through this world of White Darkness towards the Kelim-Shattering Illumination of the Thoughtless Crown of the Dragon.

I've been wanting to get my hands on this book for many years now... Back in November 11 of 2018, Ixaxaar, the occult coulture publisher, released the second and reportedly last edition of this book. Only 812 editions were made and I managed to get a copy before they all swiftly sold out... I am happy to say that I was not disappointed by the contents. I'd read other books about the Qlippoth before this of course, but I was interested in what the Temple of the Black Light would have to say about the subject in light of their magickal Current 218 path. It was intriguing to say the least.
Written by the same author behind the Falxifer series of Grimoires, it is in the same magickal current. But where the Falxifer series were more necrosophic in its approach, The Book of Sitra Achra is anti-cosmic. The book opens with an explanation of The Qlippoth from their point of view and I was pleasantly surprised to see them trace their line back to the 17th century Rabbi Nathan of Gaza. Specifically his ideas of the Dual-light of Creation and Anti-Creation. The key difference that the Temple of Black Light choose to align themselves with Anti-Creation, and hope to unify the whole by having it all assimilated into the Thoughtless Light and therefore bring every back to null. The reason being one that is similar to some Gnostic strains of ancient Christianity, that the so called god of known creation, the one worshipped by the masses, is actually an Archon of sorts. A false divinity that seeks to limit us and all creation by giving it form to maintain its hold on us. This book offers a way to escape our so-called destinies, and become borderless by assimilating ourselves into the Thoughtless Light through working with the gods and spirits that live in the other side known as Sitra Achra. These gods and spirits are introduced in the first half of the book, before delving into the necessary tools you will need and how to make them in the second. The last part being a series of rituals to form pacts with each of the denizens of the Sitra Achra. The instructions of some of these, the book warns, is not complete, but if one is attentive to the other information given throughout the entire book, it is not impossible to understand what is needed for their completion.
This is not a book for beginners nor the faint of heart. The praxis of this magickal path is quite demanding in many ways. This is as it should be because true magick according to The Temple of Black Light is supposed to be elitist, to get rid of the weak. The philosophy described in the book would be described by most to be dark and brutal. It is important to note however that it is not evil. It is beyond morality and therefore a-moral. As in any important endeavour, the bigger the stakes the bigger the risk. And what could be bigger than the undoing of creation itself?

I actually used a .pdf copy rather than the hardback.
It was an extremely enlightening book. I haven't used it as a grimoire, but have read the entire thing. It gives 'the other side of the story' and fills in why the Dark is here. I have a lot more respect for that side now.
The actual writing is simple. The graphics are outstanding. While I have not summoned any of the beings, I have felt some checking me out respectfully.

I have it in PDF because I was late to find out this treasure,and by the time I did, everything was sold out...Very interesting book, I have read many others about qliphoth, including Mason's and Karlsson's, but the invocations and formulae in this one suit me more. It also gives you a whole Qliphothic system(but it is not necessary for me to have the exact same tools,as long as we should follow a bit of our imagination and what suit us more, such as the table and the consecration with the hendecagram under it, I already have an altar table and I follow a path, INCLUDING the Qliphoth, why should I consecrate my whole altar only to the Qliphoth?) This was A HUGE inspiration for me and my experimental soul

Gray evil. Esoterically points towards self mutilation and suicide. Disgusting ideology clearly NOT divine in any way. Gross. DO NOT KEEP THIS BOOK IN YOUR HOUSE. Burn it and God will smile.

That first chapter of The Book of Sitra Achra is meant for everyone trapped on this side of the tehiru!! This book will help all who read it escape the matrix!!

EDITED 2025
Highly impressive, complex and controversial work taking inspiration from Gnosticism, Kabbalah, chaos magick and Solomonic traditions. This is dark, heavy shit. Same current as Liber Azerate, whose author took heavy influence from far-right Satanist movements. Given that the author is anonymous it’s unclear if they’re associated at all (I certainly would hope not).
While anti-cosmic Satanism is intriguing I cannot in good conscience recommend its study to anybody, not with the reputation it has among occulture and the mainstream. Not even the Simon Necronomicon is as dark or controversial; hell, one could even accept that as a work of fiction. This… not so much. It takes itself too seriously, demands much of the reader, and is in and of itself a sort of Initiation into the Current.
While the concept of Azerate is certainly compelling and inspiring, knowing where it comes from gives me much to consider.
Don’t get dragged into Currents without fully researching and understanding them first. Gnosis isn’t free candy. Approach with caution.
