I've really enjoyed this work over the years; it does a fantastic job of creating a practical Goetic ritual structure that can be implemented, understood, and even edited with ease. Many grimoires work with Using Angelic and Sephirothic forces to summon the Infernal, and there are other works that focus on the Qliphothic or Infernal themselves, but it's not often we find ourselves a work that involves using the Qliphoth to invoke Angelic forces, whether their pure form or a Qliphothic abstraction. It holds many experiments in alternate calendars, scripts, and tarot association as well to really "plug and play" for lack of a better term. It's approachable, and yet is very thorough; and in my experience with it, it rewards creativity.

As for the book itself, the construction isn't bad! The gold foiling does fade after time, but this to be expected, though on my copy it started a bit quicker than I had hoped. The covers do "splay" a good amount, and this did also happen rather quickly after receiving this tome; but its still a lovely addition to the bookshelf, and it's faded foiling is only proof its use has been worth it.

G. D. Laval's "Black Magick Evocation of the Shem Ha Mephorash" is quite the exquisite modern Grimoire, which packs a complete system of Goetic magick which can be used to summon the fractured disembodied intelligences that make up the greater Shem Ha Mephorash system. The Shem Ha Mephorash itself is the supposed sacred name of god embodied within a particular passage of the Bible. Derived from the text using advanced Gematria (a Hebrew practice of using numerology to find esoteric correspondences between different words and concepts, as well as used to sharpen the mind and create complicated ciphers and hidden text such as this name itself), this name is broken into 72(a frequent numerical iteration), three letter seals which can be used to either invoke an angelic entity or evoke a Qliphothic one. These entities are metaphorical representations of different energey currents which run parallel across both The Tree of Life and Tree of Death. Itself also described in much greater detail in the study of Kaballah, and have governance over particular traits or faculties of the ruling forces of the universe. Being Black Magick Evocation, this book focuses predominantly on Qliphothic evocation. However, the immense erudition contained within can have a rather potentially large direct impact on the praxis of many twists in the broader left hand path.

The new edition being released will somehow, undoubtedly manage to pack even that much more of a proverbial Goetic punch! G De Laval is well known, but more importantly a well respected Author & Practitioner for a plethora of obvious reasons. A 9/10 on another book I see as an almost foundation type book of any occult library or collection and with an almost identical level of importance to the mind of the working practitioner.
