Certainly interesting - but a lot of caveats
I think demons are fascinating, and make me feel very safe - assuredly no judging myself when around one, which creates safety in itself - after all, who could have done anything āworseā than a demon has. Hence, a comfort in their self authority.But the authorās constant use of caveats was quite distracting as to the efficacy and outcome of the āritual/ askingsā: results might happen, some immediately but donāt hold breath; and the magick/demon didnāt seem the ādone-FOR-youā source, with āno hands onā results precipitating, as much as you just being more aware of your self and inner perceptions/needs. Words like āthis will help you toā... put me back in the driverās seat unwantedly. I WANT TOTAL MAGIC - like a 3 year old waiting for Christmas.And personally, there were too many suggestions toward manipulating and/or maligning other people with oneās own personal agenda, which gave the whole concept/book a blah/dark side feeling.Perhaps our consciousness is expanding too much to enjoy this level of self aggrandizement masking insecurity, and hurting others for personal gain. It makes the whole book/concept of employing demons less than honorable.... or ME less than honorable to ascribe to any of it. Good luck to anyone who does, with honorable intentions.

Worth every penny.
I'm an experimenter, and Goetia is not something that I have a lot of experience with. I really like pathworking. The way this is written, and the method given, is accessible without being flippant or glib. I loved my first ritual. It was very interesting on an energetic and perceptive level. Afterwards I felt calm, focused and confident in the results. Another good book by this author. I have his book Jinn and I very much enjoy the ritual structure put forth in it, particularly the opening chanting. Do not be afraid, inform yourself and have the courage to try something that calls you.

One of the BEST
I did not have a great deal of experience with Goetia. I have read lots, but not practiced. I always found all the tons of preparation, tools, setup, etc. to seem over the top. In addition, if the great power of the universe has created everything, did it not also create these energies/beings/spirits? If so, is it really necessary to beat them down with threats, punishments, and tortures so that we as magicians get what we want? It all seemed a bit medieval and backward to me. Corwin sets this straight in a no BS way. It almost seems too easy, but when you work it, you'll see. Magic is about the doing, not the reading, talking and yammering about it. Get this book. Do the work. Do it the way he says. See what happens. Leave your review. End of story. Thanks, Corwin.

Goetic pathworking
I decided to use this book to try to change some aspects of myself instead of the world around me and it worked amazingly well. Of course, you should put some effort into preparing for rituals and that is something which is emphasized by the author. Skipping one meal before the ritual, avoiding all sexual activities for a couple of days and giving some real thought about what we want to change or achieve, should not be an issue for anyone who is in real need for the whole process to succeed. By doing proper preparation, we are building energy, sharpening our focus and also showing some respect, for the forces which we are asking help from. Personally, I love this new twist on working with Goetic demons cause it proved to be very beneficial for me.

Good book for someone wanting to start Pathworking with the Goetia spirits.
I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical when I first saw this book. I have bought other books by the author and I wasn't happy with some of them. In addition, I already have a number of copies of the Goetia by various authors, and each copy offers something a bit different or unique that the other copies don't have information wise.But I purchased this book and I had it on my desk for a number of weeks before actually getting around to using it. First, let me say that, if you use the information and perform the simple pathworkings as the author describes; you will get results. Depending on what you're looking for, most things began to show up within a 3 to 5 days or so, after doing some of the pathworking.However, I've been on the path of Chaos Magick for the last 6 years and I was able to make a few tweeks to the process that can get you better results. A great example would be my work with Astaroth. I've been in the need to find more meaningful work, so I did a ritual with Astaroth. A word to the wise, when you work with the Goetia spirits, make sure you are precise in your statements and requests, because they will take your requests as 'literal' meanings and that can be a real problem. However, after I did the ritual, again, with a few tweeks, I went ahead and did my part, as you should with any Goetia spirit. So I sent out a few resumes and filled out some applications online. The very next day, I received 3 phone calls for interviews - all within an hour of each other; AND, these calls all came from three different locations, of the same company, in the city I live in.Well I've been on the interviews and all 3 locations wanted to hire me on. I decided to take the location closest to me, so I wouldn't have to bus across town, in order to get to the other locations. Not only have I had great results with Astaroth, but also Haures; Marbas, Dantalion and Seere. I recommend this book for anyone that has been wanting to work with the Goetia spirits, but have been wondering how and where to start.

Spiritual Enlightenment
Another great masterpiece from Corwin Hargrove!. I performed a ritual to change a negative trait that has caused me problems for many years. Iāve worked with the Demons of the Goetia before dealing with other stuff ( curses, money, women). This is the first time Iāve worked with the 72 Demons of the Goetia for Spiritual development. I am very impressed by the results that manifested with Corwin Hargroveās methods. I have all of Corwin Hargroveās work and itās priceless. Thanks Corwin šš

Goetia brought up to date
C.H. is an excellent author on the subject of Magick. Like his other books this one is amazing and of much use to the serious modern magician. Ive always found Goetia interesting to read about but it always felt very old fashioned and out of date to me, mainly because of the idea of "commanding" spirits and imposing on them to do your will! Surely in this modern age any spirits you work with deserve more respect and good feeling directed to them than that? So here we have a system of working with spirits that removes all that old fashioned self glory and demanding attitude and shows us how to request instead of command our desired outcome. I feel this makes the working relationship between human and spirit a much stronger one and gives this book a very fresh, modern feel! The gentle pathworking method used is very simple but should not be underestimated as it is very powerful and results come quickly and easily when following the simple instructions. Corwin writes in a very down to earth style that puts the reader at ease and this book is full of his usual wisdom and wit in equal measure! Theres lots of emphasis on making the practitioner feel comfortable with the structure of this magick and repeated reassurance about not worrying too much about getting it all right. Ive used much more complicated systems and this powerful yet simple system of magick is the most exciting ive used for a while! As C.H. is always saying, just try for yourself and you'll see for yourself how well it works! It might not be for everyone, especially those that like a bit of extravagance but personally speaking I love this book and am very grateful to Corwin Hargrove for putting it out there! Recommended!

Excellent book.
First of all.....the texture of the book is like butter. At least it feels that way to me.... That being said, the actual content is invaluable. I began with Christopher Hyatt's book on the Goetia a long time ago but never felt ready .. having since returned to the subject and began again with Stephen Skinner, I purchased this book out of sheer curiosity and it's excellent. It's far less confusing and convoluted than other titles pertaining to the subject. I would say however that doing your research won't do you any harm as you should be motivated when it comes to your Magickal development. This book does condense but don't be fooled by that. It's brilliant and seriously quite effective. I love it and will be referring to it for a very long time. I extend my thanks to those involved in devising it. I'm truly grateful. Yes my advice is order it.
