Product Description
From Amazon
One of the most widely respected members of the magic community, Lon Milo DuQuette is known for his ability to address the rather intimidating aspects of magick with a casual candor; he makes the subject accessible to the initiate while still holding the interest of the experienced reader. Angels, Demons & Gods of the New Millennium is a collection of loosely connected essays surveying the state of magick in the face of the new millennium. It showcases DuQuette's knack for combining wit with profundity, producing chapters such as "Qabalah-Zen of the West" and "Demons Are Our Friends," while addressing contemporary topics such as initiations and the procession of the equinoxes.
Book Description
A delightfully entertaining liberal arts education in Western Hermeticism with one of America's most knowledgeable and engaging authorities! Each chapter is a self-contained monograph on one of 7 topics critical tounderstanding modern magick.

not really a bad read but...,
By the magician "fire is aroused by air" (brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angels, Demons & Gods of the New Millenium (Paperback)
i've found him to repeat himself from other publications and well although i don't remember any key points out of this book, i didn't really enjoy it. even though most of the book is nothing but compiled essays, it didn't reach me with interest as "my life with the spirits" did.

ESSENTIAL READING,
By PM (NapraReview) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angels, Demons & Gods of the New Millenium (Paperback)
Students of the Western Mystery tradition and fans of DuQuette will be eager for this newest offering from one of the foremost Thelemic ritualists of our day. Seven chapters, each one a separate monograph, address topics critical to understanding modern magic. Though the author takes the subject of ceremonial magick very seriously, he tries not to take himself too seriously at all. He writes from his own experience, and his work is filled with humor, common sense, and valuable insight into this arcane world. Among the many diagrams and charts that illustrate the text is a never-before-published full-color foldout of the 72 Qabbalistic Angels of the Shem ha-Maphorash and the 72 Demons of the Goetia. The comprehensive bibliography enables further investigation, and a comprehensive index facilitates the use of this essential reading for worshippers of the New Millennium.

a nice read, but not essential,
By Spacelord "Traditionalist" (Wright City, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angels, Demons & Gods of the New Millenium (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading this book. It was entertaining, but had little weight to it. It is not like 777 or The Golden Bough, so it won't be used for reference. It is a rather light read.I would recomend it if you are a magician and would like to do some recreational reading. It is not a bad book, it is humorus and well written; it flows well too. It is simply that I expected it to contain some new revelations on the nature of Thelema or magick, but in reality, it contains mostly things that are in the core book. Might be usefull to someone who is entirely new to magick or Thelema.
