Mac. Gregor Mathers — Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists. Amazing! I, like many, purchased this for some insight into demonology in order to make my own stories more- -what's the word- -authentic. I expected some bios about the various 7. I didn't expect was to glimpse what may now be the most imitated work in fiction today. I think only Lovecraft and Tolkien have single- handedly had more effect on the broad spectrum of fiction overall. I'm still a novice when it comes to history and even this book is a derivative of several religious ideas and texts, but I still see its influence in much of the novels, comics, T. V. I was surprised at just how much of what was in this book made it into my books without me even reading this. The Ars Goetia is the first section of the Lesser Key of Solomon.I kind of picked up many of the principles inside of this book from my own dissection of science fiction and fantasy tropes, but its funny how boiling all that stuff down led me to many of the same conclusions that were in this book. Reading this only helped me understand the purpose of magic even more and why things are done the way they are to bring it forth. So besides helping me decide if some of my ideas in my latest book had an authentic occult reasoning to them, it has also helped me tighten the magic systems in my more light- hearted books, and now it has given me an idea for a new occult themed series featuring demons that's much closer to what's presented by Crowley than the other dark superhero/action/detective story I've been working on. I'd say it was well worth the time and money. This book has descriptions, titles, and bios for 7. It also details some history surrounding the making of the book, including some of the history between Aleister Crowley, S. L. Mathers, and their groups. There are several illustrations of the various demons, the magickal objects, and various documents. There's an explanation of the purpose of magick and its connections to demons. There's also instructions on how to setup and use the various invocations, but as the kids say.
