Angels, Demons & Gods of the New Millennium: Musings on Modern Magick

Angels, Demons & Gods of the New Millennium

---

A delightfully entertaining liberal arts education in Western Hermeticism with one of America's most knowledgeable and engaging authorities! Each chapter is a self-contained monograph on one of 7 topics critical to understanding modern magick. Consulting oracles used to be difficult and dangerous. You had to make a pilgrimage plagued with hardship, trudging through the desert to a holy place or person. Or kill a calf to read its liver or a bird to read its entrails.

Or study for years to read ink dropped in water. Who has the time? Traditional methods just aren't convenient today. What's a divine wonderer to do? Funny you should ask.

He also tells us how to ask the right question and interpret the answer. The tools he provides will make consulting oracles as easy as reaching into your pocket or cupboard. Can one use channel surfing as an oracle? DuQuette's anecdotes illustrate various divination techniques. Laugh your way to wisdom while learning new ways to look at the I Ching and how to read tarot cards for yourself.

A unique and humorous -- and also practical -- approach to the increasingly popular study of Qabalah. This is a seriously funny book! Traditional Qabalistic or Cabalistic, or, indeed, Kabbalistic -- read this book to find out what the difference is DuQuette spices up the Qabalah and makes it come alive, restoring the joy of learning the fundamentals of this admittedly arcane system by using simple, amusing anecdotes and metaphors. This account, written psuedepigraphically fictitiously attributed to a supposed authority , allows DuQuette as Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford to soar to outrageous heights and, when necessary, stand apart from the silliness to highlight the golden eggs of Qabalistic wisdom nested therein.

Sure to be a revelation to those who think that learning about the Qabalah needs to be tedious and serious, DuQuette shows that great truths can be transmitted through the medium of laughter. John Dee was one of the greatest minds of the Elizabethan Age, and his system of angelic communication was the result of the most dramatic magical operation ever recorded.

It has survived to become the cornerstone of the modern ceremonial magician's practice. In Dee and his clairvoyant partner Edward Kelley made magical contact with a number of spiritual entities who identified themselves as angels - the same that communicated with Adam, Enoch, and the patriarchs of the Old Testament. Over the next three years they revealed to Dee and Kelley three distinct magical systems of vision magick. The third and last of these incorporated a series of "calls" to be recited in an angelic language in order to raise the consciousness of the magician to a level where angelic contact is possible.

Best-selling author and magician, Lon Milo DuQuette, who has practiced Dee's system for over twenty-five years, has seized upon elements of the original Dee material overlooked by adepts of the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, and other modern magicians, and brought them to light in Enochian Vision Magick. DuQuette offers the expert and novice alike the practical means by which they can become attuned in the same simple step-by-step manner that first prepared Dee and Kelley.

There has never been a book on Enochian magick like this one. Aleister Crowley's ascension into the pantheon of alternative gurus was cemented by his appearance on The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover. DuQuette takes the mystery out of both the rituals themselves and Crowley's writing in this modern grimoire.

Step by step, he presents a course of study in plain English, with examples of rituals and explanations of their significance. DuQuette also includes a course of study for Crowley's original works with an extensive bibliography and fastidious footnotes. In this groundbreaking book, he explains the symbology of the cards.

Showing of 24 reviews. Top Reviews Most recent Top Reviews. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. 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. I enjoyed reading this book. It was entertaining, but had little weight to it.

It is not like or The Golden Bough, so it won't be used for reference. It is a rather light read. I would recomend it if you are a magician and would like to do some recreational reading. It is not a bad book, it is humorus and well written; it flows well too. It is simply that I expected it to contain some new revelations on the nature of Thelema or magick, but in reality, it contains mostly things that are in the core book. Might be usefull to someone who is entirely new to magick or Thelema.

Liked the book a lot. However, I failed to find table 3 between pages , which is referenced several times throughout the book see footnote on page Surprisingly, other reviews say nothing about this issue. The book is still great and worth more then 5 stars! Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. First off, if you do not have any knowledge of ritual magic, low magic, and such things, you might feel a bit left out reading these essays.

Secondly, this is a book of very short essays. Don't expect any great epiphanies or in-depth knowledge here. These are semi-interesting reads that bring up good points to consider as a magician, an occultist, a researcher into the paranormal, etc. Frankly, I bought it because Low Magick was such a great book. This book, however, is not worth buying--in my opinion--because of its brevity. Maybe if it were less expensive. Lon Milo Duquette is such a down-to-earth guy practicing some really odd and dangerous?

He writes very well, in a way that a layman can understand and appreciate his topics. To an extent of course. So, even when you make a purchase like this that maybe you shouldn't have, you cannot help but appreciate the man and his writings.

If you have the extra cash to spend, try it out. If not, then you should concentrate on buying Low Magick or one of his other books. Also, try reading anything by John Michael Greer. He has some fascinating works. Unlike other reviewers, I would not say that this is an advanced book. I found it at best to be light reading, but it did not hold my interest.

This book by Lon Milo DuQuette surprised me. Not because it is well written - I'd heard Lon's presentation at the Denver ATA in and had experienced the eloquence and energy he commands whether aided by unnamed entities or not I do not know. What surprised me is that for the first time the Qabalah came alive for me. I had read parts of the major works on it before - Waite, Knight, Fortune and others - but it has always seemed a dry, over-elaborate, even disembodied, system to me.

My study and practice, except for Tarot has been in Eastern systems. I am still not a Qabalist but now I am able to understand the appeal the Qabalah holds for others. Lon explains the methods of Qabalistic scriptural exegesis - system for transforming words into other words - in a way that brings out their spiritual power. The text derived by these methods is not necessarily more profound than the exoteric one. What is important is that the process reveals a universe rich in interconnections which increase the more one seeks them. The value of the method is the process of seeking and finding these interconnections.

This was an important insight for me because it does away with the objection that the correlation's found are arbitrary.

They may seem arbitrary but the divine becomes present in the act of finding these correlation's. What starts out seeming to the random if found unexpectedly to reveal the cosmic order.

Although Lon does not discuss Tarot, something like this occurs in Tarot divination. Suppose the spread includes the 4 of swords. Somehow a piece of cardboard with a peculiar picture connects to a late twentieth century person's need for respite from conflict. This is the miracle of divine intelligence operating in our lives and Lon's book made me able to see for the first time how Qabalah manifests this.
