About this listen
The great Canaanite god Baal is one of the most maligned deities in Western religious history. Only Satan is considered more sinister and evil. This is sad because Baal is not evil at all but has been done an injustice, and that is something I will be discussing in great length later in this book.
Despite his falsely ascribed reputation in Western religion, Baal is a mysterious god with qualities very similar to that of Yahweh of the Old Testament. In fact, they might be more alike than you can imagine.
In general, the Canaanite pantheon is one of the most mysterious pantheons of the ancient Middle East. Because of the Western taint, no one has truly discussed Baal in a way that does not reflect the bias. Sure, they have discussed him academically but seldom spiritually without this weird negative bias. Even other books that discuss Baal in magickal practice do so with the inherent Western bias that he is this shady, dark character with sinister motives. Yes, he, like any other god or goddess, has this side, but he was also prayed to and worshiped for good and benevolent reasons as well. He was, in fact a savior-like figure.
In this book, we will not only learn how to call upon this great god magickally, we will also dispel the myths surrounding him.
As I do with all my books, I like to discuss history. I am a historian, after all. We will cover:
- The History of Baal
- His Various Aspects and Forms
- His Worship and Pervasiveness in Ancient Biblical Writings
- A Brief Overview of the Baal Cycle
- Why Baal Is Unfairly Equated with the Devil in the West
- Goetic References to Baal from the Most Obvious to the Least
And finally, we will learn his great magick. He is very powerful, I must warn you.
We have a lot to cover. Let us proceed.

Story
Belial is, by far, one of the most popular demons in occult lore. He is second only to Satan, and in some circles, he is Satan himself. When looking through the occult literature, one finds rituals to and descriptions of Belial, but there is little to no tangible history. We all take the occult texts as gospel and assume that what we find is all there is regarding Belial.

Story
In Judaism, there are several entities often referred to as Satan. However, one stands out above the rest, and his name is Samael. Yes, we recognize names like Belial, Mastema, and Asmodeus as being the princes and kings of the demons. However, it is Samael who has the distinct honor of being the father of the left-hand path, or as it is called in the Kabbalah, the “Sitra Achra”, or the “other side”. He is the top of the top and the father of all the Klippot that leads humanity astray.

Story
Many magickal texts have been written around the Watchers, and I am hoping to add my two cents to the discussion. Several decades ago, I worked with the Watchers. Aside from the rituals of course, we will be covering the basics of the Watchers' story as it is understood in Genesis since it is there that the first inkling of the story emerges in the scriptural tradition. Also, some texts exist that predate Genesis that contain a proto-Watchers narrative. Some of these early stories have some connection to Ancient Mesopotamia.

Story
There has never been a goddess in all the western traditions as maligned as the Goddess Lilith. She has been called the epitome of all that is evil in the world. She was considered wild, uninhibited, argumentative, and sexually deviant. She has been called the temptress, the prostitute from hell, and most popularly as the succubus that comes and not only steals the semen of men as they sleep, but also killing them in the process. Some of these qualities might very well be true and some not so much.

Let’s face it - whether we like money or not, in this world, we need it. Money makes the world go round. This has been the case since the dawn of humanity. Although, in the most ancient of days money was not used, other goods were. Grain, livestock, and goods of all types were used to obtain other goods. It was a bartering system as it were. Today, we use money as a means of obtaining goods, but in actuality, it is still bartering. It is just that we have added an extra element to it. Money, now, allows us to exchanges goods. It gives us the right to.

Story
When we conjure up the idea of the devil and the demonic hordes in our mind, we are often thinking in the context of how Christianity has portrayed them. The devil and his supposed horns, the Exorcist’s battle with the demon possessed, the inverted cross, the Osculum infame (The Infamous kiss) or the Black Mass in which a young woman is sacrificed to Satan. All these are mostly influenced by Christian ideas in some way or another. The Prominence of Christianity in the study of demonology cannot be denied.

We will learn what they are and brief history of both the spiritual entities and the Ouija board, as well as ways to harness their powers for our magickal purposes. But I must warn you, this is certainly not for the faint of heart. In this book, we will discuss how to communicate and work magically with the Archangels of the western tradition, mainly Angels Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, and Metatron.

Story
Occultism and magick is rife with symbols. In fact, the very basis of magick and occult is symbology. Everything is symbolic of some higher truth, from the rituals we perform to the books we listen to. We are immersed in the power and magick of symbols. The tarot cards are one aspect of occultism that I feel is worth paying close attention to. In this book, we will not be focusing on tarot cards as a source of knowledge about the future; there are plenty of good books for that. Instead, we will be using them as a driving force for magickal practice.

This is volume one of the Bible Magick series. In this book we will discuss magick and some of its uses in the Bible. Often we are told that magick and the teachings of the Bible don't mix. We are warned time and time again that if we use magick we are breaking God's law. In this book, I will show you clearly that magick has been used in the Bible by divine command. This book is not a book on how to perform Bible magick, but rather that there is such a thing as Bible magic.

Throughout my many years in the occult, I recall many wonderful things. I was enamored by so many different systems that I just had to try them all. For the most part, I did. Some with great success and some not so much. One aspect of the magickal practices that really interested me was the use of talismanic or seal magick. I used all kinds of talismans, and each had its own energy and feel.

Shiva is one of the most mysterious gods of the Hindu pantheon. His energy can be found in all things, yet his tranquil and fierce energy can seem out of reach for some. His images often depict him in a meditative state or in his most common form, the Nataraja, or the one who dances within the circular fires that represent creation and dissolution.

In this book, we will be experimenting with a phenomenon called quantum jumping. You have probably heard of this before and, yes, some elements of quantum jumping will be in this book; but that is where the commonalities end. We will be performing magic but not in the way I have explained in my 19 other books. We will be performing magic to influence our lives today but performing the ritual in a parallel universe. You will find your magician doppelgänger whose magic is always effective, and you will meld with him or her.

What you are about to hear is not for the faint of the heart. You will be creating a powerful spiritual entity - an entity that will know you better than you know yourself. It will know all your secrets, your weaknesses, and your strengths. It will also be your servant. It will do whatever you tell it to do, both for good or ill. Although it is you who will create it, its energy and life force traces back deep into primordial time. People throughout history, and even to this day, call upon these entities for help.

Story
What you are about to learn right now is rather obscure. It's a hidden side of an otherwise popular spiritual practice. What you will learn is the Dark Mantras of Subjugation called Vashikaran. I call them dark because they are meant to "subjugate" people and events to your will, or "command" them. That kind of thing was relegated to black magick and witchcraft here in the West. But is there actually such a thing as white and black magick in the Eastern traditions? Or perhaps we, in the West, interpret these things in stark black-and-white terms?

Why does the Bible depict a world in which humans, with surprising regularity, encounter the divine - wrestling an angel, addressing a burning bush, issuing forth prophecy without any choice in the matter? These stories spoke very differently to their original audience than they do to us, and they reflect a radically distinct understanding of reality and the human mind. Yet over the course of the thousand-year biblical era, encounters with God changed dramatically.

Story
Many people today think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is not only outdated but irrelevant, irrational, and even immoral. This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible remains profoundly relevant - both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. It is the greatest moral guide and source of wisdom ever written.

When is a story more than just a story? When does it become a myth? When it holds a piece of truth about our history, our morality, and the cosmos. Throughout history, humankind has used stories to explain the unknown. From the cycle of the moon to the changing of the seasons, tales about supernatural beings and events have served to account for the purpose of the cosmos. But mythology isn’t entirely fiction. These stories have been passed down for generations for a reason.

Following up on the first volume, The Atheist Handbook to the Old Testament: Volume 2 takes up the challenge of providing a clear and useful guide to those wanting a better understanding of the Old Testament, including its cultural and historical background, as well as discussions on contentious topics like violence and genocide, and whether the Exodus was a real historical event. Volume two also covers the narrative of the Old Testament, from the conquest to the divided monarchy, and a brief history of Egypt to help situate the biblical text within agreed historical events.

Got this book accidentally, not disappointed
I recently went through a faze where I was interested in Babylonian/Sumerian mythology and I stumbled on this book thinking it was a deep dive on a Sumerian god I thought it would be an interesting read. Oh boy was I surprised! This book is an instruction manual on how to "cast spells" using "the power of Baal". there is a brief history of the authors beliefs and Baal, but this book is meant to act as an instruction manual to those who would want to expand their "spell books". If you are looking for a bizarre read that sheds some light on modern occult beliefs than this is definitely an interesting read. I also found it to be quite entertaining in a so bad it's good sort of way. If your looking for a historically accurate book pass on this book, but if your looking for so bizarre its goofy than this is the book for you.
