The Accelerated Necromancer

Necromancy. As long as humanity has understood the Reaper's kiss it has fallen to the chosen few who can pierce the Veil to maintain the balance between the seen and unseen worlds. Historically taboo, the classical form of the art has mostly been used as a divinatory tool to aid in the acquisition of worldly treasures while displaying a callous lack of care for the remains of the deceased. Yet the the modern form described within these pages offers a fully rounded spiritual discipline that owes more to the 20th Century witchcraft and chaos magick movements than it does the disrespectful gentleman sorcerers of old. Ultimately it seeks to offer a shift in polarity towards a responsible walk among the shadows, and is able to aid the wider esoteric community add a little dash of much needed darkness to their otherwise nature focussed practice. In this book Gavin expands upon his personal magickal path, using a series of self contained essays to highlight the benefits of working with the dead in a reverential, yet pragmatic way. But it is far from just a ritual diary. The concept of magickal currents are examined and a postmodern, almost digital view of the afterlife is expanded upon. The various types of spirits that can be encountered in the material realm are highlighted, while tried and tested techniques to manage their presence are offered as well. Seasonal observances are also included, along with new moon rituals designed to add a further esoteric hum to the backbone of the system. Finally the idea of travelling within the necromantic aspects of the city are described, as are alternative views of the dumb suppers and s?nces that colour the public perception of those who seek to bring the ever present unreal world to a wider audience.
