Product Description

Casting sigils is a highly effective form of sorcery and Sherwin provides a sound overview of the process. He cuts through the cant, rhetoric and old-fashioned moral baggage associated with magical practice and shows us how to use sigils to influence the subconscious, bypassing the often contradictory and usually self-sabotaging internal dialogue of the conscious mind. Sherwin takes the process of working with sigils and develops it into a fully ritualised technique. He describes a daily regime that, at first glance, seems to owe more to Abra-Melin than to Chaos magick. Some may think he strips magic(k) of its mystery, romance and grandeur, if so you should look elsewhere if you are seeking enlightenment, union with the Divine, or fancy a chat with your Holy Guardian Angel. However, if like most of us, you simply want to create and fire a number of sigils to help you manifest your desires (sex, wealth, material things); THE BOOK OF RESULTS provides the information you need.

Practical but Preachy
As a book that is intended to be entirely practical this book fits the bill, it is a good guide, giving you clear and concise instructions for many things such as sigil workings and aromatherapy.

It does have some disadvantages though, mainly that chapter 10 is a near identical re-write of chapter 1, with only a few subtle changes. This seems highly pointless, and although you can presume chapter 1 may be made for novices and chapter 10 for advanced practitioners, this isnt pointed out and is just my guess.

Another downside is the way the book is filled with the authors morals, telling you what is right and wrong, which seems contradictory for a book based around a paradigm which allows the individual complete moral freedom to choose what they beleive right or wrong. A few explanations of his 'whys' wouldnt go amiss.

And neither would a proofread, its unacceptable for this many spelling errors to be published when a simple read through would have sorted this.

Although so far this is a mainly negative reveiw, from a readers standpoint, from a practitioners standpoint it does offer a few snippets of ideas and a few little bits of advice. Unfortunately not a lot of anything is explained, and techniques for sigilisation can be found just as easily laid out for free.

Id suggest Pete Carroll's books instead, and once you have understood those then this may just offer you a few new ideas.
