I finally got this book in the mail today, and it was well worth the long wait. It's a very comprehensive work packed with a variety of content. It covers everything from history to using Enochian magic in a demonic context. The author knows her stuff very well, but is never dogmatic and presents the reader with a ton of options as to how to practice Demonolatry in their lives.
Demonolatry books are few and hard to find, but this one should be enough to satisfy all the basics. If you haven't read this book yet I highly recommend it.

I've had the opportunity to peruse the book, and I thought it was a good source. I really liked the fact that the author approached the subject with respect for daemons. Many books, including some by Konstantinos, have such an insulting tone to them. Since the word daemon means "replete with wisdom," I really feel they should be treated accordingly (especially if we hope to share in that wisdom).

I've had this on my Amazon wish list for a while. (My wishlist is 8 pages long). I think the draw for me, was the cover. I was curious to know how the Kabbalah was utilized as it relates to Daemons. I work with the Satanic Kabbalah and wanted to know how Connolly ties it in.
Can you give me a brief synopsis on it? I haven't ordered it yet.
I have a copy, and have found it well worth what I paid for it! Anything you may want to know about the practice of Demonolatry is in there! It is a basic primer for the aspiring Demonolator.
As to the Kabbalh, it is used in a very similar fashion to a few of the Satanic Kabbalahs I have seen over the years. I wish I had bought the earlier books that became this one way back then.
Has anyone else gotten this book yet? Any new reviews?
With my budget the way it is lately, I have a hard time rationalizing buying a book for forty something dollars. I'd like to have more opinions and more of a review in order to better formalize my plans.
I'm trying to find this in .pdf format until I have enough privacy to have all the LaVey books I want as well as this one out in the open. However, no luck in finding it in .pdf! ='(
I have most satanic writings by crowley and LaVey in pdf. I've been told there is a bit of difference in some pdf books and paper/hard backs, but I guess I'll never know unless I buy the actual book lol.
