Gothic Grimoire by Konstantinos

3.0

I read a sample of this, but it was so short that I couldn't make up my mind about it.
I am a Wiccan, and also a goth, but I have never read into dark magic or anything like that. So I'm not sure this is the magical path for me.

dark informative medium-paced

2.5

By a brief look at the topics in the book you would think it is the typical Wiccan book but more focus of gothic. While the book does have the influences of Wiccan and colonial the first pages there is an admit that all of that is in the book because it is popular. It seems to be common thing to do self initiation rituals in this books. There is an unnecessary amount of talk about covens. The grimoire talks about Sabbats and it is so contradictory because of how much the first part wanted to separate from Wicca but the wheel of the year is a Wicca invention. I think there was a lot of focus on astral things in this grimoire when it could have been more about glamour and more goth influences but seen in a magical way. A nocturnal servant as how it talks about it is most likely possible but not for anyone to just make. It is not a good idea that there’s a chapter of quick powerful rituals, specially when those rituals are heavy topics that don’t need to be spells. Overall it is okay book but it has missing potential

this was silly and fun. I was fun to read about different rituals that people could invoke. I only read about half of it before I had to tap out. But still, a quorky way to pass an afternoon.
