‘Nazarth: Pillars of Gladness’ by Alexander Cummins
[…] As Cummins suggests, the calls and figures as a whole might be deployed for various sorcerous reasons. Yet if there is one thing that remains constant with poetry, it is the ardency with which it is performed that makes it so evocative – even spoken softly, gently, soothingly, in tones of intimacy and friendship, there must be enthusiasm.
‘An Excellent Booke of the Arte Magicke’ by Legard & Cummins | 2nd Review
We have previously shared Craig ‘VI’ Slee’s review of the Excellent Booke; and we are delighted to now present a second in-depth review of the book, this time by Frater Acher. As you will see, both perspectives stand side by side in a mutually enriching way and hope to inspire more dialogue on and research into this fascinating magical source material.
‘An Excellent Booke of the Arte of Magicke’ by Legard and Cummins
What a wonderfully mammoth task and resource Phil Legard and Al Cummins have both undertaken, and also given us, with this book. It provides us with something which should excite anybody with an interest in magic or the occult – a readable record of occult technique and experience leading to, and dealing with, talismanic books, treasures and arcana.
