Rating  - Good to help the beginner
This book is great for those who want a little more detail in their workings of the Craft. It gives step by step instruction and more detailed explanations for the why as well well as the what. Enjoyable and informative.
Rating - it works
this book is fabulessly written . the book is written by a man who knows what he is writing about . i didnt give him 5 stars because he says that the words have to be the same as what he has written . they dont you can use whatever names o power you want. i mostly bought it for the tecnique it gives excellent metheds for devloping psychic abilites .some spirits take practice to be able to summon .just remember use what you belive not what you dont (for the invocations to gods) i have allready orderd more of his books nocturnal witchcraft gothic grimoir and contact the dead (im not intrested in vampires)ill write some reviws for them
Rating  - Excellent!
This book contains everything you need to know about magickal evocation. It provides effective rituals, and guides the reader step by step on meditations to develop astral senses. Summoning spirits can never be easier. However, the only thing i disliked about this book was when Konstantinos wrote about how you can "find hidden treasures" just by SUMMONING A SPIRIT!! Obviously, those sentences were only used to attract readers to buy his book.
Rating  - Curate's Egg
I must take issue with one of the claims made by the author about this book. He says that it is the only book you will ever need on the subject.
This is patently not true.
Don't get me wrong, there is some stuff worth reading in this book, but it is _suggestive_, not _definitive_. For example, his Clairvoyance and Clairaudience exercises are interesting. Also, the descriptions of the fifty spirits is useful - assuming that they are taken from his own magical diary.
But elsewhere, Konstantinos makes a bit of a hash with his presentation of the Golden Dawn-style of magic, no more obvious than in his treatment of Enochian magic, which is woeful. This is a complex subject in itself, so much so that authors like Aleister Crowley and more recently John Michael Greer have recognised that it can't be handled adequately in a book which is only general in its terms.
My advice: read it if you want - or better still borrow it from a lending library if you want! - but there _are_ other books on the subject which should be read to get a more balanced view. (See, e.g. Crowley, Greer, Lon Milo Duquette, Poke Runyon, etc).
