Product Description
Product Description
Blood Magick is a synthesis of ancient tradition and contemporary innovations designed for both the discerning adept seeking to incorporate blood into existing disciplines and beginning practitioners taking their first steps into the occult world.
About the Author
Seth, naturally, is a pseudonym. The author is an occultist of many years and proud of his achievements, though from study and experience understands the necessity for both discretion and distance. By disassociating himself with the work he hopes to allow it to succeed or fail by its own merit.

A new classic.
21 Nov 2004
Format:Paperback
I found the book to be informative, detailed, responsible, and useful. The information was presented clearly, the techniques are applicable, and the system can be layered onto a person's own pre-existing tradition. The author systematically presents a magical practice that, until now, has been obscured by taboo and disinformation. However, I do have to point out the fact that the spells in this book (and in other Seth books), have a creative flair that many serious occultist may find disagreable, though I did not. The only reason I am giving this book a 4 of 5 is that even though the description of the book states that it is a text that can be used by beginners, there are some techniques, concepts, and entire chapters that are quite complex. This book is really meant for those with more knowledge and experience than the average neophyte, and should have been marketed as such.

mature book with big ideas
5 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
If you're ready to approach the theory of blood magick with an open mind, this book is a fairly advanced source for new ideas. Advanced because it assumes you've already become settled in your own ground-center-shield/banish/corner calling habits. The only part that seemed out of touch was the last few chapters, where the author looses is rather dependable neutrality to go on a short religous diatribe about Armageddon. Reguardless, his books are still my inspiration, and they pair well with the Cthulu mythos if you're looking for an occult wedgie.

Depends on what you're looking for
7 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
After having acquired and read shelves upon shelves of books on magic and witchcraft I came across this one and wish I would have read it a long time ago. In his treatment of the topic of blood magic the author provides some of the clearest and most concise definitions and discussions of magical concepts I have run across. This is not a book for the casual magic worker not because it is hard to read - rather the opposite, but because he treats the topic with all the seriousness it deserves without sensationalizing it as some of the Gothic material does. He also doesn't pull punches and makes it plain that blood magic is not just for kicks.
The book is split into basically 3 sections - theory, grimoire and history/culture. The sections on theory/personal development and how to use blood are fairly comprehensive although I would have appreciated examples of how a spell/s would be done to accomplish the various things he describes. I also would have appreciated a more in depth treatment of the significance and role of blood in the magic of various cultures.
As a basic book on blood magic I think it is very good and would recommend it to anyone interested in this topic.
