Aaron Leitch

An attempt to put the jumbled, misprinted mass of Dee’s journals into a skeleton outline form to better get the flow of events and the main points of Dee’s system better in view. Intended as a tool for Leitch’s other works, it was never meant to be printed. Leitch has self-published it, though, without editor or proper formatting for publication: it looks like a Word document spat out in 6 × 9 pages. Lots of poor formatting and typos. But, a decent enough quick recapitulation of show more Dee’s large, unwieldy printed corpus. Useful only to completists and those immersed into the gobbledygook Enochian system. show less

The 4 star rating is primarily addressing the content and not the quality of the physical book. Comprised of 11 essays written by various practitioners such as Aaron Leitch, Rufus Opus, Jason Miller and others. Some of these essays are extremely interesting. For example, the essay on offerings to spirits of the ATR was fascinating, as was the essay on Iamblichan Theurgy. As the name implies, the authors addresses various approaches to making offerings to various spirits.

The publisher, show more Nephilim Press, is not really noted for creating high quality books. I think I paid $50 for the book, which is not a horrible price as far as esoteric books are concerned. The page signatures are glued, and the paper has a pulpy feel to it. Many esoteric books are much higher quality, but they also can easily break the 3 digit price barrier.

Numbered, Limited edition.953 of 1000. Since it was published in 2014, this clearly has not been a great seller. show less

Best single theoretic review of the new grimoire tradition.
