Greetings from the future! Was wondering how you're doing with The Hekateaon? Also wondering about the whole PDF vs purchasing the book (it would cost sooo much so realistically the PDF is what I could source, which I don't even know if it's "up to date", or even good source materials was wonder if I could gather your insights?
Hi! I just saw this, apologies for not responding sooner. I love the Hekataeon. After getting the initial rites out of the way, I've taken a more relaxed approach to it and I use it a lot for the hymns and the rituals as a way of connecting with Hekate. Getting the book is worth it, but so is starting with the PDF. I started with the PDF, I believe there is a copy in the Wizard Forums book share section. There aren't, at least to me, any particular drawbacks in starting with the PDF if that's what you can get.

Thank you kindly for letting me know! I appreciate it!
I found the PDF and started checking it out, but yeah there's this small, traumatized part of me still that's scared to commit to anything "religious" (thanks Christian church). But I do want to take my power back and start believing and worshiping my way.
Reading The Book of Immediate Magic and Claves Intelligentiarum. I tend to bounce back and forth between all sorts of stuff. Prior to those I was reading Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness by Itzhak Bentov. That one changed my entire world view, probably the most impactful book I've ever read.
The Iluminated Faith fate by Reuben Swinburne Clymer
It's a book on some lesser known teachings of the St.John and Lord Jesus Christ on attaining soul consciousness
And how it has some overlaps and links with gnostic texts..
As Im already read almost 53% of it...
This is another title by this author that I really enjoy reading it...
1)The Yusa Guide to a balance Mind Body Spirit

3)Space Time Magic(1st and 2nd one) by Taylor ellwood
taylor is a very underrated writer,he definately expanded my mind
Book 3 of Arippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy
Incantations and Enchantments, by Donald Tyson
Hekataeon, by Jack Grayle - this book just arrived yesterday, and it demands (in the best possible way of a living book) to be read. I can feel the life in this book, and it is blowing me away. Agrippa and Tyson are going on the back burner.
Manuscrits de la Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire de Strasbourg. Manuscrits hébreux. Cabalistica -
It's so interesting, this book from French Jews. Which... The school is half Arab, but this book ended up in German hands. Most likely, it was confiscated by the Gestapo...
I'm reading this through a translator that understands ancient Hebrew. Interestingly, this book is slightly melted, indicating they tried to burn it along with other books. Ideologists of the Third Reich, I think, but who saved it? So, according to rumors, the Nazis themselves were into magic, and someone noticed this occult text and decided to save it...
The text itself is remarkable in that it draws heavily on Arabic magic; it turns out that ancient Kabbalistic texts were closely related to this book. This is connected to this Arabic system of ancient magic. What's interesting is that certain formulas, secret words, and other formulations are revealed during translation. It's difficult to translate if it's in a dictionary or somewhere else. It's very interesting what one discovers here when independently translating these kinds of magical books.
