Magickal Servitors: Create Your Own Spirits to Attract Pleasure, Power and Prosperity (The Gallery of Magick)

First, I have to admit that I bought the book based on the cover. I also bought another book on servitors, just to be sure, sort of backup, because we've all been told about buying with our eyes. After reading both books carefully, I use only Magickal Servitors by Damon Brand, and the other one is collecting dust. The writing, concepts, explanations, directions, and all over "usability" of Magical Servitors by Damon Brand is superior by far. I have had good, fast results from this book and it is not collecting dust. I have to mention that as a result of buying this book, I was made familiar with the other books by Damon Brand, and ended up buying all of them. Like Magickal Servitors, they have all proven to have superior content, and above all are easy and practical to use. I highly recommend this book!

This is my first Damon Brand review, but I can say with certainty that this book is perhaps one of the best prints on servitor magick around. His instructions (or rather, outlines) are clear and concise, followed by his personal touches on how to go about planning to bring your servitor to life. As someone whose always had trouble with creating my servitors, this book had all of the answers to my problems. Is it original in the sense that it brings a whole new method to the table? Not so much. However, there were a few ideas on where to place servitors that I found genuinely unique and new. This book is beginner friendly but can also be used by people with more experience. I believe what makes this book great is that the material is easy to read and to digest as is with most of his other books. My only complaint, if that, was that some of the pages in my copy of the book began running out of ink. The text is legible but my OCD began kicking in when comparing one half of the page with the other. Half of it was light gray while the other was black. I hope that no one else's copies had this problem! Regardless, the information is there and I highly recommend this book to others looking to use servitors.

I am well on my way with my 4th official servitor, working towards my 5th. I would like to say that this publication adds a decent degree of insight into the nature of servitors and how to use them. It also does a great job of clearing up misconceptions about their use. Any way, I have other books on servitors and this manual will add quality insight into anyone's knowledge base about servitor use. One of the first servitors I created made its presence known to me a few days after its initial creation. It was quite a powerful even cosmic experience!! I just recently gave a task to my second servitor, who has been active for sometime. A process I usually use in the spiritual arts,known as the Middle Pillar Ritual, was combined while tasking the servitor. I housed the servitor in my forehead area when it was given life, and I could actually feel my forehead area tingling during the ceremony!! That let's me know that the insight that this manual gives on servitor management is quite decent,and well worth its salt!!

So, how do I rate this book? I give it 5 stars, with the following notes: - This works, no doubt. I created a servitor to help me find money from unexpected places. The very next morning, I bought a gift card and the cashier put more on it then I requested, but only charged me what I requested. Coincidence? I think not. The next day, I went to buy dinner, and out of "kindness," the cashier gave me half off the price. I don't think was a coincidence either. - Nothing has happened since. I'm not sure if I'm expecting results and stifling the magic, or what. I'm new to magic, so... I would suggest you research magic a bit first, just so you know what you're getting into, though all I've heard says if you follow Brand's instructions, there is no danger. The book itself offers great advice and guidelines, simple instructions and is a short, easy read, though I read it slowly and took my time before I created my first servitor.

Wow, what an amazing read. I will indeed practice the magick to better change my present to be like my envisioned future.

I like the autor. The book not that much

My Work has forever changed because of the Works provided by the Gallery of Magick. Just read my other reviews for their works to see. Because of this, this volume is, I feel, one not to be ingested until a Worker has built up faith and trust in their own processes. I tell you, had I not found success with other portions of my Work, the idea of servitors as presented by the Author would have seemed too simple, and I would not have been able to produce results. For me, a person steeped in the Western scientific "physical world only" tradition, I would not have been able to believe I could actually, truly Create Something that really Existed and that worked. I had to try the Words of Power. I had to try the Shem Angel magick. I had to feel the changes from the 72 Sigils. I had to seduce. The day this book came out, I read it's description and bought it with butterflies in my soul. I knew, if I pulled off what this book talked about, I would never, ever be the same. I also knew, if I failed, then I would experience a terrible disillusionment and a loss of faith in myself and how I perceive Reality. I read it. I denied its simplicity. I read it again, and my mind was filled with possibilities, ideas and events and purposes maybe even the occult community hasn't even thought up before. But how could they be achieved? How could it be so simple? I tabled the book for 2 weeks. My mind, my heart, my soul kept bringing this book back to my consciousness. "Screw it. I might as well try," said I. The results were precisely what I wanted, but the process of their realization blew my mind. The Author gives a formula for creating any servitor: designate its purpose, appearance, powers, timing, location, calling, and fatal flaw. Create its sigil. Empower it. You're done. He speaks to each of these concepts, advising and delineating boundaries. Defines problems. Encourages imagination. I would have understood it a year ago, but I never would have believed I could do it. I needed more time with my own successes. That's why I said it wasn't easy: not that the content was difficult, but that I needed to be ready to really commit. Be careful with this work. Change will come. Caveat emptor.

A simple and effective book on the use of magickal servitors. Well written and effective. I would recommend this book.
