If there is one thing that draws a considerable amount of controversy within contemporary magic, it is the blatant act of evoking Demons. It has been called many things but for simplicity’s sake, Nigromancy seems historically specific enough. And yet, the practice of Nigromancy is long tenured throughout not just western ritual magic but many other spiritual traditions as well. One who has experience in both realms, is the Sorcerer and author Julio Cesar Ody.
Julio Cesar Ody is as well versed as he is well travelled in the realms of spirits and sorcery. A practical magician who is active in Obeah, Solomonic Magic and Quimbanda, as well as the author of one of my personal favourite contemporary books of sorcery- Magister Officiorum. Be sure to follow Julio on Instagram at Figueira Magica!
Magister Officiorum: The Ceremony of Solomonic Magic is worth its weight in gold. I have spoken of it countless times that it is one of the most impressive and influential works for my personal ritual magic journey. If Solomonic Magic, Nigromancy, and Grimoires are something you are interested in, this is a book which needs to be read, reread and read again. And then followed if you wish to undertake the rituals of evocation contained within the 17th Century Grimoire the Ars Goetia.
