This book covers the techniques and practice of Daemonolatry Necromancy covering everything from working with the Daemonic in tandem with the dead, speaking with the dead, dealing with loss and death, communing with the death energy to divination techniques and honoring our departed dead.
This book focuses on Necromancy from the perspective of Demonolatry. I'd have to say that out of all the books I've read on necromancy, I've liked this one the best, especially because of how the author suggests working with spirits and the dead, in a manner that is respectful, much like you would work with a daemon. She also offers suggestions for particular daemons a practitioner can work with when doing necromantic work. If you are interested in learning more about demonolatry, you will also learn a bit about that topic with suggested further reading also offered. Overall all this is a solid, focus book, and the author has done an excellent job presenting the topic and providing methods for working with spirits.
This book focuses on Necromancy from the perspective of Demonolatry. I'd have to say that out of all the books I've read on necromancy, I've liked this one the best. The writing came across as very genuine and sincere. Daemonolatry is the use of Goetia or Goetic demons in the works of contacting the dead. This is a great book for those who are interested in learning the truth, rather than the myth of necromancy
The book would be absolutely amazing if it contained all the necessary information. The author quite often talks about rituals where the “how to” part is omitted, saying “it’s in my XY or Z book, so I’m sure you’ve read about it there, I’m not repeating it here.” If at least the Kindle versions of these books were a lot cheaper (half the current price or something), this wouldn’t be a huge problem, but now I’m not sure if I want to order those books too. What if they have the same sort of half-information in them, referencing further books? I don’t fancy spending £70 or near just to get all the details of a ritual that might or might not work.
If you don’t mind this because you have her previous books, then this book is going to be very useful to you. Its language is very easy and personal, definitely a lot less pretentious than some others I’ve read. The stories are relatable and to the point, the instructions are pretty clear (or they would be, if they were actually complete), so yeah, I recommend this book for those who don’t mind either forking out a small fortune for all the author’s books or already have her previous works. Otherwise, AVOID!
I've always been darkly-inclined, so it's no surprise that I picked this up. It's an interesting read and I surely learned new things! This is one of those instructional books and I really like how the author presented it, for someone who has little knowledge of the who's, what's and why's, she presented it in a way that is easy to understand. But I do think it's best that you read her previous books before this one as the author refers to information found on those books a number of times. I think this is a very helpful book for those who already have experience with necromancy and are looking to learn more or enrich themselves.
Honor and respect ByCorrina Hickson November 4, 2017 Format: Paperback|Verified Purchase Honoring Death is just that, honoring death. This book was well written with honor and respect, and I applaud that.
This book offered me nothing like I wanted which was a direct ritual to call on a spirit. All It did was to give you the Hollywood version. Like serious. Kmft
In celebration of the upcoming dead festivities, I decided to re-read this book since it's been a couple years (original review below). I still agree with my statements from my original review. However, I would also like to point out that I do not think this is a book strictly for beginners. I think it is more of a 102 rather than 101 book (that's not to be confused with a slightly more advanced 201 book ;)). It is a good beginner's book BUT for a beginner who already knows a bit or has some inclinations towards this sort of practice rather than someone who is brand-spanking shiny and new. It does lean more heavily towards the practitioner who is also a medium and either has an interest or already works with Daemons. I am not a medium though I do have many clairsentient qualities and an avid interest/practice along these lines. There is a short bio of a handful of Daemons a practitioner may want to consider working with and it was interesting for me to see which ones I chose to look into more over those I would choose now, 2.5 years later. The second portion of the book has some necromantic rites and rituals you can use or tailor to your needs (with care) that I have yet to do anything with other than skim over to see if it is something I would consider performing at some point.
(Jan 25, 2014 Review) This is a very well thought-out book on necromancy and daemonaltry. It gives a good starting point and suggestions on working with several different daemons as well as suggested reading for further knowledge on that subject. There is definitely respect for the dead and spirits within the pages of this book. Some may feel it is short being only 114 pages long - but those pages are jam-packed with information! There are some guided steps on mediumship, rituals, prayers, several methods for parting the veil and closing along with many different ways one can communicate with spirits in their necromantic works.
