I n this book, I plan to take a reader from perhaps being a neophyte magician, giving them the knowledge to form an understanding of magick, to a successful magician.

Knowledge which will help you become more knowledgeable about magick itself, and how and why we use spirits in magick, versus simply projecting energy into our reality.

In my previous books on Grecian Magick, I would focus on a single deity. In my High Magick Books, I usually listed multiple spirits in a single book. In this book, I will focus on one spirit, a fascinating spirit known as Astaroth.

The more recent grimoires, such as Ars Goetia and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, refer to Astaroth as a male spirit. After contact, I saw these books were incorrect, and that Astaroth was very much a feminine spirit. I contacted Astaroth during the writing of my book on Daemons and the Law of Attraction. Since then, I have worked with her many, many times.

In this book, well examine the magick one can work with Astaroth, focusing on the areas of wealth and power.

There will be simple rituals to assist in a fast income boost, and more complex sequences designed to establish and maintain a strong income stream, be it working for yourself or starting your own business.

Interested in attaining a position of power? Well look at Astaroths abilities to help guide us to be in the right place at the right time, and directing us to meet people we can use to assist us in gaining power, be that power political, corporate, or physical power.

Astaroth will assist the magician using this system to achieve power. Achieve wealth.

Astaroth will be presented in both her forms: Daemoness and Goddess. Each aspect has unique energy when she arrives. In both forms, her energy is soft, loving, and welcoming. As a daemon, there are notes of a sharper energy, ready to help you if others need to be pushed out of your way. As a goddess, her energy is softer and carries an energy more like that of Aphrodite.

You can compare her to another Daemoness/Goddess; Lilith.

This book will also have examples of worksheets to assist you in defining your desires, and how to word these desires into effective statements, petitions, and sigils. I will have a link at the end of the book to a package to download with the worksheets and the sigils.

I was asked to write this book by Astaroth.

You see, I am gifted. I can communicate with spirits, and occasionally see the future or aspects of the past. I say gifted because many people consider these types of psychic abilities "gifts. Thats because someone, somewhere, decided to use the term gifted when it comes to psychic abilities. Id like to find this person and set them down at my kitchen table and explain to them how disturbing such gifts can be, possibly using edged weapons and major league baseball bats. I know I have thrown astral bricks at my guides on occasions when these gifts raise their collective ugly heads. I need peace. I relish the quiet. The spirits will often provide me with none of that. They wish to be heard. This goes double if the spirit is an elder god or goddess, who wishes to be heard over all the mumbling of the followers of the main-stream deities.

But having these gifts has led me to where I am now. Why I am writing at this stage in my life?

I wanted an income stream independent of daily work. For me, writing isnt really work. You see, I grew weary of pushing my reading services and trying to market monthly classes on magick, or trying to break into movies during a time when even the most talented people are being ignored by the gate-keepers in Hollywood.

So, I started writing these books. I am also gifted with the ability to write, stringing words together in specific orders to communicate information. And its easy for me to write. Ive written since I was in elementary school. I worked as a sports columnist right after high school and sold several short stories while in college. Writing books about magick just seemed like the thing to do right.

It combines my so-called gift of mediumship with my flair for the written word. I can channel (for lack of a better term) the deities I am writing about. They may not take over and guide my fingers while typing, but they are sending me streams of information.

Imagine being able to suddenly receive ten TV channels all at the same time. A bit confusing. I have to sift through the information and make sense out of it. Sometimes its literal dictation. They speak and I write what they say, or I get images and emotions and I have to describe that in my words. Why some spirits can only send me images and others can talk to me has nothing to do with how powerful of a spirit they are. It depends on the energy flows around me at any one time. I happen to unconsciously block all the energy aimed at me. Its a learned technique after years of always hearing thoughts and voices. It was needed if I was to even attempt to live a normal life. I used to hear kids talking about me, only it was them thinking about me, never voicing their thoughts. So, I learned to block almost all energy sent towards me.

Another side effect of channeling is a surge of energy. No reason for caffeine, cocaine, or meth when channeling a spirit jolts my system such that I cant even sleep for days. For my sanity, I have to limit spirit contact.

Which brings up why spirits will get my attention in interesting ways and catch me off-guard. I have had spirits throw things at me, books or pens flying off my desk, being touched when I am half-asleep, waking me up at night with taps on my door, and sending messages via gifted friends of mine.

I got interrupted during the writing of my Daemons and Law of Attraction book a few months ago. I kept hearing my name being called by a womans voice. This was followed by a floral scent, like vanilla blossoms. I wondered briefly where that was coming from and dismissed it as most likely my granny was visiting.
