Kurzbeschreibung
This is guaranteed to be completely unlike any other occult text you've ever read, whether it be some wussified "New Age" book about crystals and guardian angels, or some classic tome of barely decipherable ceremonial evocations. No, this book is really "something different."You will find no references to potions, poppets, or pendulums; nor shall you find illustrations of magic squares, voodoo ververs, or Enochian script. Incantations, folk magic, numerology, and the Seals of Solomon have also been excluded from this work. What, then, remains? Quite simply, a magical philosophy which can be applied, with great success, by students at any level of advancement. Great emphasis has been placed upon self-knowledge and common sense-secrets have also been divulged as to various tried and true methods which will enable a besieged magician to kick the boogyman's ass.Although presented as a work of fiction, this extensively researched text contains within it a great deal of occult Truth-and it is highly entertaining as well! The author is clearly either a genius or a madman-perhaps both.

I'm not quite sure how to phrase my review of this unusual book. I liked it, as it was well written, well researched, and an enjoyable read. However, I must say that it conflicts with the teachings of other systems, and some of the techniques could be dangerous if misapplied. The mysterious author is amusing as he antagonizes 'Classical Ceremonial Magicians', unscrupulous gurus, and ignorant New Age dabblers, and I'm sure that he has made a number of enemies as a result of these criticisms. He has made a few valid observations, though, and it is good to expose certain characters for what they truly are.
I found the author's perspective of the spirit world very interesting, and I liked the way he compared and contrasted his perceptions of the dream state with the astral realm and OOBE/Remote Viewing. He also cautions the reader against idle experimentation, psychedellic drugs, and affiliating oneself with negative cult-like groups. On the other hand, he tends to ramble at times, makes several somewhat bizarre statements, and quotes from dubious sources like 'The Book of the SubGenius,' 'Principia Discordia,' and even the 'Necronomicon!' Although he rightfully acknowledges that certain of his sources (including the aforementioned) are fictional, and even presents his own non-fiction book as 'fiction' as well, it seems as though he really believes what he's saying. Perhaps (like the three aforementioned sources) it is a joke of some sort? Or maybe certain revolutionary truths can only be presented as fiction, because the author would be ridiculed and denounced if he claimed otherwise? Perhaps this is why he has chosen to keep his identity a secret?
The author is an 'anti-guru' who pokes fun at those who would presume to master others, a renegade who dares to reveal forbidden knowledge, a comedian who makes us laugh, and apparently a guide who truly walks the path of the warrior.
Recommended, but with reservations. If you are on an eclectic or shamanistic path, it may open your eyes to a great many profound truths. If you are on a wrongful or negative path, it may show you the error of your ways and steer you in the right direction. But if you are a New Ager who thinks the spiritual world is all 'goodness & light', or a rigid traditionalist lacking a healthy sense of humor, then this book is definitely not for you. I give it Four Stars.

TWISTED AND TRUE, EVEN IF IT IS "FICTION"
27. März 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
I loved this book! Don't know why it's in the "occult fiction" rather than the "occult non-fiction" section, as it is NOT a novel . . . perhaps it was so the author could be provided with license to "stretch the truth" a bit for artistic purposes without thereby accumulating a "karmic debt." A couple of his personal anecdotes are a bit questionable, but the bulk of the text is flawless (excepting about three minor typos). A bit arrogant at times, but in a genuinely amusing way . . . the author does not seem to take himself (or anything else, for that matter) too seriously, which is a refreshing change from the usual fare for the "New Age" genre. By the way, this author seems to have a rather low opinion of most "New Age" gurus and dilletantes, and repeatedly pokes fun at them throughout the book. This book seems to be split up into three main sections: The first few chapters seem to be directed towards those new to the subject (and are available to read for free at the "Righteous Warrior Temple" website), the next few chapters seem to be directed towards those readers who have already done some research, and although the last few chapters are directed more towards the advanced practitioner the info is presented in a very easy to understand format. The chapter entitled "The Spirits" goes into great detail about several different levels of spirit communication; the chapter entitled "Common Sense Psychic Self-Defense" goes into far more detail than any THREE books pertaining to the subject; and the chapter entitled "Astral Exploration and Combat" is well worth the cost of the book in itself! Although a few of the Classical Ceremonial practitioners out there will not be amused by this heretical text, but I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT! I unreservedly recommend Arcane Lore to all students of the occult, no matter what their particular philosophy may be. Even if you have no intention of actually applying the concepts therein, it will definitely make you laugh!

Oh, wow . . . this was strange!
18. Dezember 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
If Jack Nicholson, Sonny Barger, and the Dali Lama decided to stay up all night eating funny mushrooms and typing their ideas about the Black Arts into a laptop computer, you might wind up with something that rivals the rare tone of this weird book.
The author intersperses his colorful digressions with a large numbers of selected quotes from a surprising number of sources. I found it all quite amusing, and am now reading it for the second time. He certainly has a *unique* perspective!
While several extraordinary ideas are eludidated in detail -- and which are well worth reading -- I remain skeptical of certain statements made herein, and was put off a bit by the wildly fluctuating tone, which seemed to vary between manic and condescending. It was funny though, and that appeared to be the author's intent. Depending on your particular mindset, you'll either laugh out loud or else be up all night cowering under the covers with all the lights on. It was a good book -- just don't take it too seriously.
