Draconian opening

[Shalux]

Hi,
Does any of you have some experience with the Draocnian opening ritual described in the Draconian Ritual Book by Asenath Mason?
I have some interest in practicing it and I wonder if others have experience to share. Thanks!

It is a fairly simple and malleable directional calling to work with.

I enjoyed the Dragon Invocation from the Draconian Ritual Book. My major issue with Asenath Mason's work though is that her sigils and art are, IMHO, horrible. I have always utilized other sigils when doing any work by Mason or the Temple of Ascending Flame. The only exception is the Sigil for the Ascending Flame itself.

Happy to hear it's quite malleable and accessible, that sounds like a perfect fit.
I haven't given a serious look at her sigils yet, so I'll sure keep your comment in mind when I do!
Thanks!!

My artwork is atrocious.

I don't think that the Art depicted in Asenath Mason's work is particularly bad, I do not think they project or deflect any calling or magic. And they do not seem to reach out to any particular entity. What I think I see is a set of established demonic-like components assembled without any deliberate communication.

I did not find the Draconian Ritual Book insightful.

Just one man's opinion.
Most Respectfully,

I know a lot of people who love it. I know others who prefer Mark Alan Smith's work. I find both to be flashbacks to 80's Death Metal album covers, which I was not impressed by. In any case, it was just my opinion. If people like it, good. In most cases, I almost always make my own sigils to personalize.

Honestly when it comes to the Draconian Current, I prefer Michael Kelly's work though have taken some concepts from Mason for basic outlines for structure.

My problem is the blood offering thing. I'm never sure where or how to get the blood, or how often I should use the ritual.

I'd be happy to get some advice.

For me it is simple: as of now it simply feels completely out of tune, so I simply don't use blood. And I guess I won't unless this changes profundly.
But note that not all rituals in this book call for blood offering (the Draconian opening does not, and as @Sabbatius pointed out it is malleable, as said in the description). I'd say just adapt to your own tuning, the best you can (it seems there's a delicate equilibrium to find).

Thanks @RoccoR and @Sabbatius for your comments. As far as I can tell, there is probably a couple of rituals I'll experiment with from the Draconian Rituals book (opening and some energy workings, so mostly the "basic" ones in some sense). I'll look into Michael Kelly's work.
