Book Reviews of Nocturnicon: Calling Dark Forces and Powers
Book Review: Extremly useful for the onen minded
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very different from anything normal in the world of typical Magick books out there. Its quality is not in the rites that it includes but in the theroy. It takes an extremely abnormal, inteligent, and still refreshing veiw on magick.
You ever have a hard time making a connection between 'raise emotional energy' and all the not so emotional, in fact dry, explination of what your suposed to do with it? That ends with this book. This book directly applies that emotional energy in a beautiful way. Rather than the highly scripted dead rite, it breathes life and openness into it.
It is dark inclined, let me try to explain that. If you love gothic and dark stuff (like vampires, skulls, new moons and necromancers in movies) that will give you energy and align you to the principles that this book works with. If you never really cared for that stuff, then this book will still be useful to you but mostly as a new way of thinking about and looking at magick. You won't draw the same energy from most of his techniques and you'll have to invent your own(techniques).
Now as far as the content of the book, is it aimed for 21 and over or for anyone? I'll say what he could not, and watch him come to contradict me! He won't because he doesn't want to.
If your inclined to use illegal drugs or alcholical beverages for purposes beyond getting drunk and high, to better your self for instance, here are some ways to do it and some things to use... (texts of the book)... If you want to be a crack addict, your stupid and it won't better you or really help you with any magick at all... but if you really want to use some things that work a littel better than a few candles and circles on the floor, don't let the law and fluffy bunnies stop you. Magick should be effective, not dry.
The author does cover Absinthe and chetreouse as well as (of course I only heard that it works... from a friend or something... not encourging you do do anything illegeal that might better you as a practicing magician, but) DTC (I think I got that right) however he deters against the use of popular 'get high' drugs even telling you what the results of spells tend to be with a few of them. They're not a surprise and not much for advocating spellwork on LSD or Crack.
About the whole Necronomicon thing, look at the name of the book, is there any way in hell he's trying to pretend that he's not trying to imatate it? No! But this book is nothing like the necronomican ( a beautiful work of fiction), however he illistrates in noctornican what he's trying to do, and thusly without guile. It's simple, by of the forboding way people percieve the necromonican they (in they're awe) give it extreme power. He's trying to apply the same concept to the nocturnicon.
Lastly I must point out that the above ploy has a small possibility of really working unless nocturnicon gets banned for some reason. All that stuff I mentioned above he wouldn't come out and say was to prevent this from happening... I don't see how his book will generate this kind of forboding aora.
Included in this book are:
Ways to use magick without centering
A little about Lucifer (he's not the devil, that's a myth)
Deamons (commonly confused with demons, they're the greek version of angels)
Workings with sigils and other symbols that instead of being based on some old quabilistic tradition somewhere actualy are created by and draw from you, the practitioner. Much more useful because they actualy mean something deeper to you than what a book told you they mean.
I won't call this book perfect, but I have come accross only one other of many books I have read that is maybe more worthy of 5 stars. This book is way outside the box, well written, fun to read, actually tried and true and based on old and tried stuff, packed with usefulness, and not long and full of boring filling, it's very refereshing and new. It's kind of an Irony, in fact, with the way it constantly tries to imply a comparison to the necronimacron, it is as new as a cold bucket of water as it hits your face! The necronimacron intentionaly comes across as somehow more ancient that you could possibly imagine or something. In fact I must say that the Irony of that is the only reason I even think that this book even could get the kind of attention konstintinos wants it to. I hope it somehow does though becuse I would love to feel it when I pick it up to reread a techniqe it explaines before I use it. I eagerly await the next book Konstintinos will pull out from whereever he pullls them from.
