Rating  - mature book with big ideas
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.
Rating  - Small Book but Great Ideas
While this book is shorter than I expected it to be I have to say it was well worth it. In a time filled with books on magick for teens and so called "occult" magick this book has a very different approach to magick that I found very refreshing compared to the slew of crappy teen magick books out there. (But I won't give away it's secrets! you'll just have to read it.)
I would give it to anyone who has a somewhat in depth idea of magick because it is certainly not for beginners.
Rating  - Lacking?
This is a very short book. It seems he hints around to something more interesting, but never actually gets around to telling you what it is... It's fairly well written, though it leaves a lot unsaid. I questioned whether or not he was perhaps afraid of saying to much and then the book being a liability, but who knows. It's ok, but not worth the money, since there isn't anything in there that you don't already know if you think about it.
Rating  - The title of this book in my humble opinion is deceiving.
The book's title is about Blood Magick, but the author doesn't really give us a practical aspect of how to use blood in magickal operations. I was very dissappointed. That is my humble opinion.
Rating - A new classic.
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.
