Lucifer Diaries is a complex magickal diary, and thus a grimoire, of an obviously accomplished occultist. It is complex because several magickal topics, such as astral travel, the cabala and enochian magick are interweaved throughout the book in a very interesting manner. In addition, one has to almost live with this book and work through it often to begin to really understand it. My only complaint is that it seems almost impossible to find some of the other books the author has written to be able to purchase, in particular Howling at the Sky.Update on my review: I was able to purchase a copy of Howling at the Sky, which the author, Roger Williamson, was a gracious enough to sign. Howling at the Sky is another masterpiece of Occult Knowledge, and was well worth the effort to find it.

You want a good armchair magician book to sit back and chortle over? This book ain't for you. You want something to USE? Something that gives back what you put into it? Something that can change your life and help put you in conact with alien entities? Then don't delay. In 50-100 years, people will look back at this book and see it as what was happening in Magick at the dawn of the 2000s.

This is one of the few books out there that takes traditional western magickal practices and puts them into to full practice within contemporary terms. A strange and extremely compelling description of the authors contact with alien intelligances and Goetic demons over a stretch of 10years. Extremely psychedelic with a dark spark this is certain to be considered a occult classic. Very thorough and gives details as to the rituals and techniques used to invoke these praeternatural forces. Not for the mentally unstable or pious.

dear magi,
... we don't review books that we don't like, or that we feel have no redeeming features. This book, however, is clearly not for the mass of people. It is certainly not for beginners in magic, unless they are that very rare beginner who is just now starting again in this lifetime and remembers well what SHe (she/he) has learned in previous ones. It is also very helpful if one is familiar with the Qabalah and also if one is acquainted with or interested in Gemantia, the number/letter/word correspondences of Judaic language, mysticism and magic. For us the best part of the book, and this is a short book, was in the appendices, where the author explains the relevant aspects of the Qabalah that make his diary understandable, and his bibliography.
You probably have to be a fanatic for magic, as these elves are, and perhaps a lover of magical diaries, which we also are, to like this book, but if you, like these elves, are fascinated by other magician's experiences, you may well find this an interesting addition to your library.
kyela,
the silver elves
