Book – PDF - Asenath Mason & al. - Hecate: Witchcraft, Death & Nocturnal Magic

Hecate is a goddess of witchcraft, lunar magic, and necromancy. She appears with torches in her hands, accompanied by howling dogs, serpents, and ghosts of the dead – terrifying retinue that roams the land under the cloak of the night. Her powers are many, and her cult involves both life and...

I recommend you the essay "Goetic Devotions" by Jake Stratton-Kent, published in Scarlet Imprint's Devoted. JSK mentions some aspects that are easily overlooked. Another book I really enjoyed was "Clavis Goêtica: Keys to Chthonic Sorcery" by Frater Acher, also part of our library. A fascinating book providing insights in the power of skulls and "talking heads".

Necromancy is not what it seems it is about.

If you're looking for a practical approach and want to hack through the rigours of ceremonialism and the confusion of shrouded mysticism, ouija has been the supreme necromantic art for last 150 years or so...

Yet Runes have merit for your intents and purposes as well, being remnants of an ancient "dead" dialect no longer spoken and a long history of use as a necromantic and oracular device.

Muse on this: Just by speaking runes, one resurrects a dead language. Each rune is a memory, Information ripe in "paranormal" dark energy. All together may prove a useful tool-kit in conversing with ghosts, spirits, entities etc.

Wow, I wasn't actually even aware that ouija was more than a game. Quite interesting

There are all kinds of cautions that are typically given to ouijia users. There have been a couple threads, I think, in the past year or so here. You might look and see if anything strikes you as sagacious.

Thank you. This helps a lot

COMMUNING WITH THE SPIRITS: The Magical Practice of Necromancy
I'll be honest: I've read only introduction and first two lessons, as the author advised for those who are not ready to get into that practice yet, so I cannot value it more. However I believe that it might be of use.

Personally, I am looking at these topics just in recent weeks and I have had the opportunity to do some research about them, so, I'm going to advice you four great resources:

• The Bones Fall in a Spiral by Mortellus
• The Gospel of The Ghouls by Baron & Baronessa Araignee
• A Spirit Walking the Twilight Path by Michelle Belanger
• Work Primer by Naag Loki Shivanath

Let me know which one you choose and especially how it goes...

• The Witches' Book of the Dead by Christian Day

I agree about his books. But I still have to ask how come he has managed to make his name synonymous with salesman and joker
