Infernalis Arte (Volume 1)

Its roots can be seen to be Hermetic, Egyptian, Asian, and of Sumerian influence, with other such cultures whose rich history provided many foundations to our culture. So keeping true to America in the non traditional, left hand path manner that I follow, this will be a working text on practices, procedures, and methodology of a Warlock whose love of exploration has inevitably created some rather different things. I generally build and work on one large ritual project a year, one large ceremony I could write, as my crowning achievement for the last years study and progress. This included candles, working with crystals, and my own conjecture as to how to do things what were supported by natural laws, put into effect through the tools, words, ceremony, actions. It take months, writing and re-writing, trying to find the right words to say, the correct times to say it. Every year I spend the majority of my time pondering what will come of my next projects. What will be of the next phase of evolution in the work. Its never finished, probably never will be so long as I can read, and progress through integrating the stuff of theory, into larger, more complex methods, which when you think about and see, there will be the elements of the past works put up and into form. Over the years as the books collected, I sold some off, and lost others in moves. These were lost in one of my moves; original runs of the Manuel of occultism by Sepharial, The Great book of Magical Art by T.L. DeLawernce, the 1930s copy of The Black Art, by Rollo Ahmed. These books I poured over, finding work on vampirism, real works that described blood magic, the things which works books after the 1970s would never discuss. I had, since my beginnings the Simon copy of the Necronomicon. It was a staple in my library, never much using it. When the Spellbook came out picked it up. That was my first foray into barbaric languages of a long dead past. I pulled it and pieced it, and worked through the stuff in there to try and understand why it was so ?feared?. Never did it seem that it was all bad as everyone said it was. No different from the Grimoire of Solomon, or the Lesser Key, Black Pullet, and Grand Grimoire. All of which are 'nefarious' books. From this, a meticulous compendium of different sorts of sorcery, blood magick and creation magicks are included here for the serious seeker only.
