I like you.Cheese Sandwitch wrote:Dante Abiel.... Well I'm not sure I'm interested in this book simply because of.his affiliation with Koetting. I read the Book of Azazel and his attitude, arrogance and just general dickish attitude put me off.
Dante Abiel has worked closely with koetting for a long time so if you like Koettings works youll probably like this. Both of them have been able to.accomplish amazing rituals and are strong magicians in their own rights, I just feel the same things can be accomplished with less...fan fare. It's like they shout "oooh this is dangerous woooo" and " oh beware! You could go.insaaaane" to sell books. I personally prefer S. Connolly.
Actually, as it turns out, it is easy being green.

I cannot speak to the authenticity of any of their works, I am only speaking from the marketing side of the website, and I agree, that it's presentation is infomercial. Which, to me, doesn't readily speak authenticity. The general public knows infomercial products are gimmicks, and therefore I wouldn't think they'd want to present their product that way.
If you really want something old, and powerful, get your names to all rare, or antique, book dealers you can, around the world, and tell them you would like notification of any handwork of any metaphysical/magickal nature. Usually book dealers will offer a sort of bid service where they notify the interested parties, and the highest offer wins. Sometimes, you can get books fairly cheap if you are the only person whose ever called them about it. Or, if others turn down the book because it's not what they were looking for.
Aligning yourself with some anthropologists, and archaeologists, is also a good way of finding out about ancient, and antique, metaphysical works. Some, which have been published into books, in recent years.

I haven't read the book but I've seen the presentation. Dante Abiel is a close friend of Koetting's so the over the top attitude in the presentation was something I totally expected. I can't say if this book is worth it, but it might have some valuable things inside, as I find that at least Koetting's books have really valuable info if you're able to focus on what the real subject is under all the egocentric bullshit and the made up stories that are there to impress. At least this is my experience from pathworking some of his works and selectively trying things from the rest of them. The system is solid, it's the presentation that makes it look bogus.
Think you've seen it all? Think again. Outside those doors, we might see anything. We could find new worlds, terrifying monsters, impossible things. And if you come with me... nothing will ever be the same again!

I also noticed the book selling for $99 on Miskatonic Books -

I think I'd rather feed my left toe to a hungry hippopopopotamus than spend $99 on that book.
