HERE IT IS!
And
this time I really
mean:
HERE it IS!
<
Finally >
I
haven’t bothered to look back through each of my postings to see just how MANY
I’ve made concerning the release of my book.
(I don’t
want to look) It feels like ….well too many.
I don’t think anyone was more
eager than I to actually see it come into physical being. Quite a few of you
have eagerly been awaiting its release as well and apologize for the many, MANY
delays. Hopefully there are none who have been standing by to begin their
experiments into DSIC until its release.
Regardless I am very excited and pleased to present to you the standard edition of Gateways Through Stone and Circle
which can
be ordered here:

-Fine leather bound editions to be
released sometime next month.-
Besides
announcing its long awaited release, I also wish to acknowledge individuals who
really brought this work from its early stages to the finalized form seen on
Nephilim Press’ website.
Besides the
exciting journey to becoming a first time published author, the creation of the
book was an experience of connecting and acknowledging other acclaimed and/or
published magicians who deeply inspired me in the creation of the book. Most are well known adepts, authors and teachers in the magical community.
Mentioned in
the actual texts are members of the Gentlemen
for Jupiter which spearheaded my interest to explore this particular text
of “DRAWING SPIRITS INTO CRYSTALS”
Frater Rufus
Opus http://headforred.blogspot.com/
is to be acknowledged foremost for his inspirational Planetary Gateway series and open sharing of his experiences and
workings. He is a well-respected magus and introduced me to the other founders
of G4J
Magus Aaron
Leitch’s works, personal feedback, and fine example he and his wife demonstrate
as ‘Magus-scryer’. http://aaronleitch.wordpress.com/
Many other
scholar-magicians assisted with the book’s developments that are not directly
named in the text:
Huge thank
yous go out to Mr. David Rankine http://occultofpersonality.net/david-rankine/,
Stephen Skinner and Mr. StrattonKent for their encouragement over email and
feedback to improve and expound on the MS's early stages.
David
especially was very generous with his time and continued advice for getting my
work published.
Adept Michael
Cecchetelli http://thelionsdens.blogspot.com/ was paramount in Gateway’s
publication. His support of my work and communication to Nephilim Press made
this book possible. It was an unexpected blessing to receive such brotherly assistance
from such a successful author.
To Asterion
Mage http://solomonicmagic.blogspot.com/
, an enormous amount of gratitude goes out to him for his phenomenal job as illustrator.
I have always admired his inspiring artwork and dedication to exploring
Solomonic Magic with scholarly precision, so getting to work with him on this
project was a sincere pleasure. I was able to share my visions with him and
have him duplicate it with knowing skill which made the work come alive.
I am continually
grateful for my longtime friend and talented scryer Mr. “Strider” Willman for
his review of my book and obvious contributions to the continuing experiments.
I am proud
to recognize my singular student in this art, Mr. H. M. with his masterful
feedback, and dedication to conducting the traditional experiments with
precision and exquisite detail. He is the exemplary magus and student of the
occult. His experiences and development using the content of the book has given
me faith in its ability to empower others to experience similar wonders.
Many other
friends in the magical community assisted with its review and editing and I am grateful
for all of their work and attention!
Finally and
most importantly, for the actually publication goes a huge thanks to Frank for
not only taking a chance on my first MS but giving overwhelming support and encouragement
for it. His treatment, communication and professionalism were second to none. During the tiresome finalization of the book Nephilim Press continued to offer assistance in getting it completed.
I truly hope serious magicians enjoy and benefit
from its use. I also look forward to hearing about personal experiences from
many of you!
