The Great Canaanite God Baal is one of the most maligned deities in western religious history. Only Satan is considered more sinister and evil. This is sad because Baal is not evil at all but has been done an injustice and that is something I will be discussing in great length later in this book. Despite his falsely ascribed reputation in western religion, Baal is a mysterious God with qualities very similar to that of Yahweh of the Old Testament. In fact, they might be more alike than you can imagine. In general, the Canaanite pantheon is one of the most mysterious pantheons of the ancient Middle East. Because of the western taint, no one has truly discussed Baal in a way that does not reflect the bias. Sure, they have discussed him academically, but seldom spiritually without this weird negative bias. Even other books that discuss Baal in magickal practice do so with the inherent western bias that he is this shady, dark character with sinister motives. Yes, he like any other God and Goddess has this side, but he was also prayed to and worshiped for good and benevolent reasons as well. He was, in fact a savior like figure. In this book, we will not only learn how to call upon this great God magickally, we will also dispel the myths surrounding him. As I do with all my books, I like to discuss history. I am an historian after all. We will The History of Baal His Various Aspects and Forms His Worship and Pervasiveness in Ancient Biblical Writings. A Brief Overview of the Baal Cycle Why Baal is Unfairly Equated with the Devil in the West Goetic References to Baal from the Most Obvious to the least. And finally, we will learn his great magick. He is very powerful, I must warn you. We have a lot to cover. Let us proceed.
Baal Kadmon is an Author, and Occultist based out of New York City. In addition to the Occult, he is a Religious Scholar, Philosopher and a Historian specializing in Ancient History, Late Antiquity and Medieval History. He has studied and speaks Israeli Hebrew · Classical Hebrew · Ugaritic language · Arabic · Judeo-Aramaic · Syriac (language) · Ancient Greek and Classical Latin.
Baal first discovered his occult calling when he was very young. It was only in his teens, when on a trip to the Middle East that he heeded the call. Several teachers and many decades later he felt ready to share what he has learned.
His teachings are unconventional to say the least. He includes in-depth history in almost all the books he writes, in addition to rituals. He shatters the beloved and idolatrously held notions most occultists hold dear. His pared-down approach to magick is refreshing and is very much needed in a field that is mired by self-important magicians who place more importance on pomp and circumstance rather than on magick. What you learn from Baal is straight forward, with no frills. Magick is about bringing about change or a desired result; Magick is a natural birthright…There is no need to complicate it.
Pure Orientalism from a guy who visited the “middle east” (israel). The info about Baal are from the Ugarit tablets and the Bible, so nothing new there. He just takes his time writing every reference of Baal in the Bible, which didn’t need 70 pages, more like two. He mentions his skiing in “israel” in between, which is never a good sign of someone knowing the native culture of the land. Then he makes up rituals for Baal, if the book wasn’t ridiculous enough.
If it were actual rituals he’s describing or social events, that could’ve been passable, but this western concept of doing rituals to benefit yourself only is so weird. You’re burning a candle and offering meat to a god to get money? Anyway, usual american nonsense.
The Power Awaits!. Very good book. And one of the best history lessons. The power that awaits is a personal gain and calling to expand one's mind, body ,and soul in the occult.
