Durga is a very special goddess. When I first encountered her, I was a little hesitant, but I knew deep down I needed to work with her. From 2014-2015, she has guided me. Ever so often, I am guided to work with one specific deity for a prolong period of time. It was Durga's turn then.

Shiva is one of the most mysterious gods of the Hindu pantheon. His energy can be found in all things, yet his tranquil and fierce energy can seem out of reach for some. His images often depict him in a meditative state or in his most common form, the Nataraja, or the one who dances within the circular fires that represent creation and dissolution.

What you are about to learn right now is rather obscure. It's a hidden side of an otherwise popular spiritual practice. What you will learn is the Dark Mantras of Subjugation called Vashikaran. I call them dark because they are meant to "subjugate" people and events to your will, or "command" them. That kind of thing was relegated to black magick and witchcraft here in the West. But is there actually such a thing as white and black magick in the Eastern traditions? Or perhaps we, in the West, interpret these things in stark black-and-white terms?

The great Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and fortune. She is renowned across all of India as the most beneficent goddess of the Hindu pantheon. She not only bestows wealth and fortune in the material world, but also the spiritual. That is the beauty of Lakshmi. When you call upon her, she prepares you for wealth and fortune from the inside out. Often it happens very quickly, and in some cases, it can take some time. In either case, she is very responsive. In this book, we will tap into the eight manifestations of this great Goddess.

Occultism and magick is rife with symbols. In fact, the very basis of magick and occult is symbology. Everything is symbolic of some higher truth, from the rituals we perform to the books we listen to. We are immersed in the power and magick of symbols. The tarot cards are one aspect of occultism that I feel is worth paying close attention to. In this book, we will not be focusing on tarot cards as a source of knowledge about the future; there are plenty of good books for that. Instead, we will be using them as a driving force for magickal practice.

Throughout my many years in the occult, I recall many wonderful things. I was enamored by so many different systems that I just had to try them all. For the most part, I did. Some with great success and some not so much. One aspect of the magickal practices that really interested me was the use of talismanic or seal magick. I used all kinds of talismans, and each had its own energy and feel.

There has never been a goddess in all the western traditions as maligned as the Goddess Lilith. She has been called the epitome of all that is evil in the world. She was considered wild, uninhibited, argumentative, and sexually deviant. She has been called the temptress, the prostitute from hell, and most popularly as the succubus that comes and not only steals the semen of men as they sleep, but also killing them in the process. Some of these qualities might very well be true and some not so much.

Many people have asked me over the years if I use the pendulum. The answer, in short, is yes. I use the pendulum quite often and have used it for over 15 years. I have used it to glean information from the most mundane topics from the color of the tapestry on my walls, to which entities I should use for a particular ritual. In fact, I used it regarding the publication of this book. I had the intention of writing this book last year, but through pendulum work, I gleaned that last year was not the right time. Now, it is.

A few books exist on Asherah so I am going to jump in and add my two cents. I found the others to be rather complex. I will do my best to deconstruct it all in this book, but for the sake of brevity I can't go too deep. Like all my books, I will cover the texts and history. I have many old notes that I will clean up and present here.

By attaining Siddhi, while using a mantra, you are literally embodying the power of that mantra. You will have the mantra's power. For example, if you are looking to attract material abundance, the seed mantra for that is "shreem". If you recite "shreem" 10,000 times, you will attain the essence of that Supernatural power. You will be able to recite "shreem" and attain your material goals easily. You will be a magnet, as it were. You will attain supernatural powers.

In Judaism, there are several entities often referred to as Satan. However, one stands out above the rest, and his name is Samael. Yes, we recognize names like Belial, Mastema, and Asmodeus as being the princes and kings of the demons. However, it is Samael who has the distinct honor of being the father of the left-hand path, or as it is called in the Kabbalah, the “Sitra Achra”, or the “other side”. He is the top of the top and the father of all the Klippot that leads humanity astray.

When we conjure up the idea of the devil and the demonic hordes in our mind, we are often thinking in the context of how Christianity has portrayed them. The devil and his supposed horns, the Exorcist’s battle with the demon possessed, the inverted cross, the Osculum infame (The Infamous kiss) or the Black Mass in which a young woman is sacrificed to Satan. All these are mostly influenced by Christian ideas in some way or another. The Prominence of Christianity in the study of demonology cannot be denied.   

In this book, we will be experimenting with a phenomenon called quantum jumping. You have probably heard of this before and, yes, some elements of quantum jumping will be in this book; but that is where the commonalities end. We will be performing magic but not in the way I have explained in my 19 other books. We will be performing magic to influence our lives today but performing the ritual in a parallel universe. You will find your magician doppelgänger whose magic is always effective, and you will meld with him or her.

Belial is, by far, one of the most popular demons in occult lore. He is second only to Satan, and in some circles, he is Satan himself. When looking through the occult literature, one finds rituals to and descriptions of Belial, but there is little to no tangible history. We all take the occult texts as gospel and assume that what we find is all there is regarding Belial.

In this book I'm going to deal with what magick is, I'm going to go into why magick works when you actually perform a ritual, of course it does involve spirits and it does involve supernatural powers but there is another reason. If you notice that the more intention you have towards the ritual, the more effective it is, so there is an individual component in every single ritual. We will discuss individuality, embracing of the dark side, being present in life.
