I'm interested in the Draconian current and wanting to know everyone's opinion. Out of Michael Kelly, Thomas Karlsson and Asenath Mason which is the favorite and why? Are there any authors that I'm leaving out that are worth it?

Well, word on the street is that Asenath Mason stole everything from Thomas Karlsson and published as her own texts, so to honorable people that would be red flag. However, here most of the people are using illegal copies of other peoples books so I dont know if it matters to lot of people?

Don't now if she stole everything but let's say Mason and her friends of BALG are generally quite capable in recycling ideas and printing them in overpriced edgy looking "grimoires" for goth schoolgirls.

Undoubtedly, Thomas Karlsson made the idea of a Draconian current accessible and established with Dragon Rouge his own distinguishable branch. In the end, all ideas of a modern Draconian current trace back from Kenneth Grant and the Typhonian O.T.O. He made the connection (in a sometimes very pseudo-historical manner) to dragon themed symbolism in Ancient Egypt and Babylonia, Tantrism and Kundalini of Hindu culture, and the modern magical-mystical teachings of Thelema. Grant's work is quite a chunk and hard to tackle, so I would recommend some other works first.

Bill Duvendack's A Draconian Egypt Grimoire (2020) is good to get some inspiration for practical work. Yes, he is one of Asenath Mason's special friends, but I think he did a good job with this one.

Don Webb's The Seven Faces of Darkness (1996) is IMHO a more sophisticated and original approach to the Sethian-Typhonian current.

Wholeheartedly I would recommend P.T. Mistlberger's essay on Dragon Magic, in his book The Dancing Sorcerer (2022). It's a good entry point for a more philosophical framework, liberating the idea of Draconian Magick from it's LHP clichés. It inspired me to delve deeper into this topic and to integrate some ideas in my personal work. Actually, I did get a little hint "from beyond" to do so while reading it.

I think the best authors regarding the draconian Magick are:
Michael Kelly (Apophis is the main one but there are others also)
Daemon Barzai (in nomine draconis)
