My Occult Library

The following is a list of the books I have managed to collect on the occult & magick of all kinds. I have always been very open minded when it comes to my own spirituality so naturally my reading material matches my interests in this field. From white magic to black magic, angels to demons I have spent a very long time putting my collection together but still its very much incomplete because I’m still collecting & most likely will be for years to come.

Black Magic & Demonolgy

When it comes to the darker arts of black magic one should always proceed with caution because not only can the spells hurt those around you they can also do great harm to your own well being. Unlike white or gray magic much more energy is used & darker more deviant forces are conjured up to carry the spells out. Books like the necronomicon should never be taken lightly & one who is not correctly versed in the creation of protection circles & incantations should avoid it at all costs. As with all magic - enter with a clear heart.

As the future of the world teeters on the brink of the future John has been warned about his whole life, something totally new shakes his belief that mankind stands a chance against the machines: the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a man from the past whose last memory is of being on death row before awakening in this post-apocalyptic nightmare.
