Seven Spheres
Seven Spheres is more than a simple book of traditional Hermetic Magic. It is designed to be a series of rituals that function on many levels to take an average ordinary magician and turn them into a self-actualized powerhouse of proactive reality engineering. It’s entirely about attaining initiation and empowerment in the highest levels of un-manifest reality. These experiences and rites result in the release of a floodgate of power that pour down through the layers of progressive manifestation, building up awareness, understanding, and ultimately raw potential as you move from sphere to sphere through the rites, ultimately culminating in the anointing of the magician as Priest-King directing the forces that climax in your personal daily experience of the Joy of your life. This book isn’t about physical or spiritual mastery, it is entirely about understanding that you, personally, are beloved, honored, blessed, and highly favored of every intelligence, spirit, angel, and god of every sphere. This is about understanding who you are and what you can accomplish as a human being manifest upon the surface of the Earth. Spiritual enlightenment and material mastery will be yours, if you do the work described.

I read this book all night long. I simply do not have enough words to tell you guys how I feel about this book. I really don't. The book pays for itself a thousand times over and I don't mean that just because it's beautifully bound and impressive looking. Nor is it due to the magick rites at the end of the book. The book gets it's magick (in my opinion at least) from Rufus's talk on what it *truly* means to be a "King" and how to rule our kingdoms. This man is a true Christian (the down-to-earth, laid back, and slick as fuck kind), educated, cultured, and wise! He talks about grace AND luxury! Do yourself a favor all of you. You know that $60 you were going to spend on video games, fast food, the movies, or some hot gorgeous stripper tonight? Well, why don't you instead take it and buy yourself a copy of this awesome man's work via Nephelim Press? It's $50 plus $10 for S&H. If you really want to know what living a life of power, authority, sovereignty, mastery, wealthy, prosperity, abundance, a man/woman of justice, true leadership, and everything else that comes with that, then don't be a sorry cheap ass and buy this book! Do it!

November 22, 2021This is an excellent introduction to Planetary magick with a well-versed intelligent guide who is keeping things simple. You will find everything you need to commune with the Angels that govern the individual planets corresponding to each day of the week, to begin to build a more integrated life for you who are called to this.
This is in the mode of a workable grimoire with a syncretic arcana that includes materials, schedule and the general spirit of how to proceed. There's also an essay on Talismans and their use for beginners.
If you prefer to only read, there is the beautiful Gnostic story of Creation that is ultimately more freeing in its philosophical implications than any screed against an organized system or competing set of beliefs and their requisite injunctions.
As you continue to work with this grimoire, I would explore Advanced Planetary Magick by Jason Miller next, and other tracts by R.O.
Note, as I do this work I got my dad to give me his old Saturn, how on-the-nose and neat is that.

While I believe the author is probably the most egotistical author of modern occultism; I will say that this is an awesome fucking book. Well worth the $50 from Nephilim Press.

A perfect introduction to Hermeticism that outlines a simple direct method to contact the seven planetary spheres: the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn. If that makes you go wtf then this is probably not for you. Wish I'd had this twenty years ago, although I don't know that I'd have been able to handle it.

A good overview at a process of working with planetary energies. I look forward to working along the lines R.O. has drawn out eventually.

This book is workable. At the time of writing this review I've worked through the first 4 planets in the order recommended and have had interesting results.
The way its written is not what I'm use to/my favorite style for an occult book. It comes off a bit like a self help seminar with an edgy guy who swears a lot. However, the work seems good and this is all personal preference.

Rufus has a very laid back way of writing. You really do connect with his thoughts on the subject. A good read and a lot learned.

Easy to read and grasp, yet well written. If you are interested in planetary magick, then you will not go wrong with this truly great work!

This book is filled with a lot of practical and useful information. It has definitely made me think of things differently...

I have been using this book for about a year now and there is allot to say.
This is first and foremost a Planetary Magick working that is directly inspired by 16th century magick. That means praying to Jesus Christ, God, Holy Spirit (you know the Holy Trinity) is part of the ritual. If you do not believe in Christianity at all, then this books might be problematic for you.
The rituals in here is very simple and straight forward. Connecting you to the planetary spheres, which is mediated by Archangels. You probably wont see the Archangels or Intelligences at all like I do. This might be discouraging however I'm stubborn enough to press on for about a year now and even to this day I still can't see them nor sense them in any way.
The author uses "Kingdom" as a way of communicating the idea of a Magician taking control of his own life. And now that I think about it, King is used more if not exclusively when describing the user. However, my biggest criticism is the way this is presented. The author comes across as a naive or at worst, an over confident self-help guru by saying things similar to "This will improve every aspect of your life in 6 weeks of continual work" or my favorite "From the center of our experienced sphere, we can broadcast our pirate signal and hack into the matrix. Ahem.". This might seem cool to some of you, but to me his writing style does not age gracefully as the reviewers here might lead you believe.
But you and I only care about the part where it actually works, and from my experience it works when you know what you want and just simply ask for it.
An example of my requests being fulfilled:
In my continual use for a year, it helped me an aspect of life where I struggled the most since Covid. I used to have a discipline problem and asked Jupiter to teach me how to control myself as a King would. It took some time, but I finally figured out a way to discipline myself and now my life is significantly better because of it. And when I say significantly better, I mean that I am more confident in my future because I know how to control something that used to give me problems, and for that I am happier. I am thankful for Jupiter's wisdom.
Questioning the rituals and its design is what makes the fool closer to being the magician. This is encouraged at the end of Seven Spheres, ie add more to the ritual after the Orphic Hymn so that it can tailor to your request, and instead of calling upon the Planetary Archangel what if it was a Demon instead. This is definitely something to consider when using this book and I wished I done it sooner.
As of writing this, I am close to a point where I'm going to be putting these rituals to the side and pursue other things. This book definitely helped me instill the confidence and experience that I needed to be a King (Magician).
A little side note:
I am not saying that it would take a year for your requests to be fulfilled, your experiences might be different from mine.
I watched a livestream of the author and he said that client used to get results from these rituals but it stopped once his life got better. Rufus Opus said that it fulfils ones request by REQUESTING. Not knowing what you want will not give the Archangels a task to work on.

Interesting!

A thorough, detailed guide but one that is heavily colored by unverified personal gnosis.
