Consorting with Spirits: Your Guide to Working with Invisible Allies

I really enjoyed reading this book. I tried a few of the rituals and plan to go back and do more.

I’ve read many magick books and it’s the first time I read something fromJason Miller, I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy the rest of his material. He really gives you practical advice from his experience on consorting with spirits.

Jason Miller apresenta neste livro um pouco da sua experiência com o trabalho com espíritos, dando visões sobre como estabelecer e cultivar relações,entender as forma como se organizam, etc.Jason tem prática com o catolicismo folclórico/popular, paganismo e demonologia, e alguns dos seus exemplos se dão partir dessas perspectivas, não se limitando a elas. Os ensinamentos não são taxativos nem dogmáticos e podem ser adaptados às nossas práticas pessoais.Ele não recomenda o livro para iniciantes no caminho mágico, mas para quem já tem algum contato com as realidades extrasensoriais é uma excelente aquisição.

Full Disclosure: I am a student of Jason Miller, and I'm a big fan of his teachings. However, as he is blunt and honest with his students, so will I be with this review.With that out of the way, I was impressed with this book. I went into it already familiar with several things he covers, but I was surpised with a few things he hadn't explicitly taught (but was implied, looking back). Even more than that, there were ways he put 2 and 2 together for me in this book that was a little eye-opening, to be honest. In short: If you're interested in spirit conjuration, get this book.I could just say "Get this book", but then I'd *really* look like a shill. So here are a few points to back up this review:- One thing I've always liked about Jason is his writing style. It's personable, relatable, respectful, but also straightforward and to the point. That's especially the case in this book.- He starts the book off addressing a very obvious question that I have seen very few authors address: What are spirits. I loved what he expressed there.- Jason explores some very under-explored topics in spirit conjuration. Levels of spirit manifestation and why you don't always need full physical manifestation. Skills for perceiving spirits aside from "stare at the incense smoke" or "gaze into the mirror". How to not only speak at the spirits, but also be heard by them. Localized vs non-localized spirits. Friendly conjuration vs compelling conjuration. Honestly, I could go on. There's a lot of under-handled gold in this book.- As with all of Jason's writings, he includes stories of his experiences practicing magic (or, in this case, working with spirits). I've always found them very illustrative and instructive.So that's my praise of the book, and I highly recommend it. The only criticism I'd give it is something all his books have suffered from: editorial mistakes. This book has far fewer of them than his previous books, but I noticed some. However, that is microscopic compared to the gold here. Buy it.

I have to say that I was expecting so much more.If this was a conversation with a friend or even a class, I would say that it was really great.But more than two thirds of the book are filled with personal stories and ramblings about this and that.It does clear some things, desmistifiesothers and gives some useful information but there's so much missing."I won't go this way because I wrote a book about it (if you want to know but it), I won't go any further with this because there are other books on the subject (if you want to know buy them)... C'mon!! Are you serious?Like he lightly touches the protection part (which is fundamental) because he has another book on this!What I think is that this is an extremely light reading and, if you squeeze it, not much comes out."Everything depends on everything" is the key work for this book... Not very reassuring and tremendously vague.Don't really understand so many 5 stars for this.
