Daemonic Offerings (The Daemonolater's Guide)

This is perfect for beginners. To start knowing what to fo. And to do what best fit you every person is different

This is actually a very good (though short) book. As usual, Connolly is lucid, common-sense and straightforward in her approach to the topic as well as her writing style. The material should be easily accessible to a wide range of occult students through various levels of experience and ability. The subject is not limited to "demons" per se, and the material is broadly applicable to any sort of spirit-work or even devotion to deity.The only criticism I can offer is that I would love to see the book expanded. Admittedly, this is a fairly narrow topic and there is likely a finite amount one can say that is truly useful. I am the sort to enjoy personal anecdotes, whether related directly by the author from her own experience, or from other practitioners/students as related to the author. This is a criticism that I am prone to address to all authors who write concerning spirit work, so Connolly is certainly not alone in this. The work may also have been enhanced by an exploration of the "Feast of the Gods" ritual practice as described by Jake Stratton-Kent in his book "The True Grimoire" ( touched on only briefly, enough to whet the appetite to know more). The book may have also benefited by having a short section devoted to offerings to Lars (household or family spirits) or Familiar Spirits/Servitors. This is material that can be pieced together through referencing other works, but it is nice to have it comprehensively covered in one place. Perhaps, an expanded 2nd edition of the book may include these?Still, this is a great little book if you are looking for an introduction to offerings for those who have not had prior experience. My criticisms above are to be taken with a grain of salt, for I think it is Connolly's direct and to-the-point writing style that appeals most to her readers and makes the material so easily accessible. She doesn't ramble, get all flowery or prose-worthy, repeat herself endlessly, and veer off topic like some authors do in the quest to fulfill a word-count requirement. This is what makes her works so readable, and my biggest disappointment upon completing one of her books is that I don't have another immediately at hand to begin!

It's easy to understand. I don't need to be a practitioner to appreciate the author's work. I am glad to add this to my collection of good reads on the topic.

I enjoyed this book so far although I have not had the chance to really read it yet. All in all, the book is good so far.

I chose this book to read because I am doing personal research on this topic. Really great book for a beginner like myself who is interested in daemonoltry.

No problems here I love it! Short and simple book. I prefer more original texts regarding this subject, but aside from older information it’s good to see how people view demons in our generation today in comparison with what we have available to us from older writings. No loss in the end good knowledge to apply.

very well written quite educational

very good book I enjoyed reading it so much because it helps to know what your doing when working with Demons I have been working with Demon's for two years. best two of the best years of my life I have learned so much from The Demon Lords I work with they are Great teachers this book is a must for anyone who wants to work with Demons the right way loved it Thanks

Very clear layout and instructions. It looks at misconceptions and makes you question your motivation.

Un ottimo lavoro, semplice ed esaustivo; l'autrice, con la sua esperienza la sua competenza e preparazione smonta falsi miti ed espone la realtà circa questa pratica devozionale che ha riflessi importanti sull'Occultismo in generale. Da leggere!!!

This book is easy to follow and is well written. It is a must for any Demonolator. I really enjoyed it - especially with reference to blood offerings.
