I've looked over some of these books, seems like good stuff to me. I like a lot of what I read so far, but sometimes I find myself disagreeing or thinking more could be added..that is natural though lol.

I am a HUGE Konstantinos Fan. Nocturnal Magick, Gothic Grimoire, and Nocturnicon are my top 3, but I've read everything from Summoning to his Werewolf/Lycanthropy book. I adore him to say the least. Of all the spells of his I've tried, they've all worked. :inlove: :inlove:

I like Konstantinos's books, they are pretty fresh.
I am glad that we have so many options, when I was a young lad books on magick were few and far between. I relied upon JH Brennan, Marian Green (thankfully still involved in The Invisible College), RJ Stewart, Crowley was hard to get hold of, Starhawk and Alice A Bailey.
When I was a teen, Magick was the purview of over 18's. Still I was a bit of a prodigy/oddity- then again when my 9 year old self wanted to become a Folklorist when he grew up (it was obvious things were different).
With the overflow of books magical and new age, there are some gems good and bad also there are bad books with some diamonds within metaphorically.
Nothing has really changed, modern day fluffy bunny stuff or cyber goth witchy stuff is the 21st century version of Parker Publishing- Psycho-Bio Spells for Manifesting Wealth beyond your wildest dreams with the majority of those books being about Ms A or Mr X who did the ritual and won the Lottery, got the love they sought or knacked their arch enemy.
There are a few gems in K's work and he is an interesting writer. :thumbup:

I literally have all the books of his that are on Kindle, on my Kindle Fire. He does not beat around the bush on what needs to be done.

"Nocturnal Witchcraft" really kick started my occult studies 10 years ago. I have just about all of his books and I find them all to be great. "Nocturnicon" has a great section on how Lucifer healed him from a serious illness. "Summoning Spirits" is great on getting an understanding on Ceremonial Magick. Highly recommend his books.

I have both Nocturnal Witchcraft and Summoning Spirits, and I can wholeheartedly recommend them both. I really like his different take on Wicca, it influenced my own path.

I have read his work on vampires and really like it. It gives a good summary of vampires in history, real vampires today, energy vampires, etc.

I was wondering if this author is a good alternative to Father Sebastiaan and Michelle Belanger.
I see. So this is it. It lies here within this palm. The heart.

I can only judge his work about vampires, but that is really worth reading. His book treats the different vampire kinds, eg. real vampires, energy vampires, historic vampires, with extra emphasis on energy vampires.
