Angels, Demons & Gods of the New Millennium

This printing lacks chart 3 between pages 20 and 21. So I make my own. Highly recommend it to make this chart oneself. Overall this is great book and can help to accomplish thisThank you to the seller

Got this for the sole reason of reading the HGA chapter in full- I must tell you, I wasn't disappointed, nor will you be. A welcome and inexpensive addition to my occult library. Baba Lon, as always, delivered.

I found this to be a rather interesting and informative book. I would highly recommend it. There was a lot of information concerning all the different ages and time periods regarding the different philosophies of that period. I found a lot of topics in the book that I personally believe to be true.

Liked the book a lot. However, I failed to find table 3 between pages 20-21, which is referenced several times throughout the book (see footnote on page 159). Surprisingly, other reviews say nothing about this issue. The book is still great and worth more then 5 stars!

kindle version doesn't have demon and angel chart

DuQuette has offered both a theoretical and pragmatic view of the Thelemic worldview for the would be Occultist. He begins with a brief explanation of his own Thelemic ideal in chapter one appropriately entitled "Confession" and as he progresses thru the book, each chapter subsequently offers his own opinion on how he has assimilated these theories into a workable and reliable form of personal Occultism.When we arrive in chapter two - "Qabalah, Zen of the West" - we shown that one can indeed feel not only comfortable with using but also with applying the Qabala to our daily lives by one who is as Western as it gets. What will help the neophyte is how DuQuette explains the complex arts of Gematria & Notariqon & Temura. These are Occult techniques whereby the student can take a word and translate it into a number and by doing so, see how it is related to other words that add up to the same number. Notariqon has to do with generating words from the beginning letters of a passage of scripture and Temura has to do with substituting one letter for another. While I have readthe methodology from other authors, DuQuette does a fine job of explaining in simplified terms.One of my favorite chapters is the third one wherein DuQuette discourses on the nature of the Holy Guardian Angel that each one of us allegedly has. Interestingly enough, the author shares his thoughts on how some non-Occultists have apparently achieved success without any Occult rites or practices. In fact, DuQuette gives his own theory as to how the individual can make the necessary contact with his/her own HGA purely thru constant thought and desire. His logic is well founded and workable.Finally the last chapter I truly enjoyed was "Demons Are Our Friends"! Here again this from a man who has DONE the requisite work and experienced first hand accounting of the Spirits. He is not a sit-by type of armchair theorist whose only pretending knowledge of the Goetia Spirits is purely speculative. And he confirms my own belief that "the whole technique of summoning and evocation is purely a matter of artistic taste." One can venture into the realm of needing pentacles of protection, robes, wands, etc., and vocalizing all of the conjurations by rote memory because they're romantically enflamed by that mindset OR the practitioner can use Occam's Razor to cut to the quick of the matter and use only what is absolutely necessary to call for such Spirits.All in all, this book is excellent and well worth the investment. I give it five stars as it does include a nice bibliography and an index.

Lon Milo DuQuette's fascinating and well researched material is clearly written to entertain as well as to educate. This book does both. He explains how magical people use archtypes to formulate their goals and visions.He is an excellent instructor in the mantic arts.This is another of Lon's five star books! Lady Janestra

Students of the Western Mystery tradition and fans of DuQuette will be eager for this newest offering from one of the foremost Thelemic ritualists of our day. Seven chapters, each one a separate monograph, address topics critical to understanding modern magic. Though the author takes the subject of ceremonial magick very seriously, he tries not to take himself too seriously at all. He writes from his own experience, and his work is filled with humor, common sense, and valuable insight into this arcane world. Among the many diagrams and charts that illustrate the text is a never-before-published full-color foldout of the 72 Qabbalistic Angels of the Shem ha-Maphorash and the 72 Demons of the Goetia. The comprehensive bibliography enables further investigation, and a comprehensive index facilitates the use of this essential reading for worshippers of the New Millennium.
