Grimoire of Tiamat

Now firstly, (not to discourage anyone) this book is definitely not for the beginner (and so I agree with the other comment before this one.) Now, this book is completely fine to have as a "research book" as in a sense to learn more about Tiamat, because to be honest, there is not a lot of good information on the internet about her and so if you're getting the book as a good starting point or some type of "learning guide", that's completely cool:) It comes with a few pages (pages 1 through page 50) that basically talk about her history, origin, her children and everything else around that center, methods of work (detailed info on dream work with her and tools and whatnot)((Everything a "grimoire" would have)) and you get the point... (Some other things I also didn't note too) But after page 51 its basically all invocations and Tiamat and her children and indeed this is all broken down into different parts to where every part as a great amount of information about the spirit such as the dangers of them, particular things of their nature, invocations, evocations, tools, dreamwork, meditations, and so on and so forth.Another thing I must stress is, this books and the things that are in it are NOT to be practiced by anyone but those who are ready and experienced. This books doesn't really talk about "magicks" in a sense of a crap pack of different magickal practices you must follow. The one "magickal" practice they (the writer of this book) does talk about is Evocations and obviously Ceremonial Magick. But anyways, the point is, this is a book for the experienced practitioner that is also heavily interested and in love with Tiamat. Because honestly if your experienced and don't really like "Chaos Origin" in a sense, this is not going to work with you. Its not only about being experienced but its also about having a love for the topic and so that ye (you) may learn more as ye walk the path of the Dragon if ye choose too. (Obviously. lol) But also the experienced practitioner must beware also. (The comment before me explains what I'm talking about a little better.)Anyways, getting to some of the fun parts! Here I'm going to talk about the energy of the book, in while many might not care, this literally had to be the strongest vib I've ever gotten from a book. Le item. Now, number one, I have never felt a book like it, it feels like sort of a "cardboard book", in a sense the shell of the book (the cover and binding and whatnot) is a little thick to the point as though it feels very Cardboard. Obviously its a hardcover book so what else would it feel like but I've had many hardcover books and this one in particular feels weird...... Anyways that's just me:) Also (getting to the point) I must say, the energy on the book is like something you never felt before.. Now if you are a crystal person it will be very easy to detail what it feels like but if you don't know I'll try to put it in "English" words... Its sort of like a very good energy you feel when you really sit and hug the book but if you just pick it up, the book feels SUPER long, as most as though it goes out to the ends of the universe and then comes but into your hand as you slowly draw your way down the book. So in other words, the book is very "top sided" when it comes to the energy. But there is an awesome energy you feel just holding the book, I wonder how it feels to use it and have it in motion. The comment before me explains the feel of using the invocations and putting the energy into work that is "locked" within this book:) Its a pretty cool feel:) You can pretty much feel this same thing with a Moldavite crystal in your hand for more than 10 or 20 seconds... But overall its a good energy:)

One of the greatest books of all time.Fast forward three years since buying it.Here's what I have to say, this is absolutely not for the dabbler. You can't bind, banish, or rid this energy.Tiamat is the essence of life and death, it is reality and the source.There is your will, and then their is Tiamat and the 11 currents.You are ether aligned with it, or will be harmed terribly if used in the wrong way.These things can manifest in what many would view as random accidents, but seriously take heed.If you enter into this treating it like Goetic magic, trying to force these currents to do your will, then I would stop and back away now. These are not Thought forms; an extension of your thoughts, and you will surely harm yourself in worse ways than you can fathom, this is not something you save for a rainy day to harm someone for the chuckle of it, or for mundane needs.I think there are many delusional people out there, that are confusing thought forms and their own energy work for Tiamat.And they are most certainly not the same thing.You will be absolutely certain if you are successful with evoking or invoking these energy's, because if you are not on the assent, these things will do terrible things to you; ether to correct you on the path or feed off of you in harmful ways.There are thousands of other works that deal with thought forms bound to die after the earth's destruction, and using your own energy.Tiamat however, can't be willed to do what you wish, you must be aligned with it, and as such your work is her work.From what I've learned ascension is the work, I'd imagine failure would be akin to an atheists death, and being recycled on an astral level.Also keep in mind this is Asenath's experiences, I'd urge people to follow the current directly taking from this a model.But under no circumstance enter this path if you are not fully committed and in love with Tiamat, Kingu and her 11 children.These words and symbols are an abstraction for a force.I would call it god.This stuff is serious, as some of the low star reviews stated, you will outright be harmed, blocked, or binded by the forces themselves if you go about using this work in the wrong way.You can't control this current, you have to be aligned with it.Throw out any dualistic notions, or veneration of dying stars like the sun.Chaos is all in fusion.This book will aid you in understanding the currents, and stripping your false ego, via destroying parts of yourself in very painful ways, that over time become the very meaning of love.The full destruction of you human mind, ego, and becoming source, a part of that current eternally dreaming in the astral feeding off life force that is recycled within the macrocosm.Tiamat is not a thought form, it is life and death itself.It is like zen.Do not buy this book if you're just messing around, you may destroy more than just your physical body.Hail Tiamat Eternal!

The Grimoire of Tiamat is a very thorough & researched book. It contains three parts to it, first part is of the origins & mythology of the primal dragon current, & all it's affiliated with. The second book deals with ritual practice & the nature of the entities of the Draconian race. It describes not only Tiamat, but of the natures of her consort, Kingu, & the eleven demons gods that serve Tiamat & Kingu. The third part is of appendices of various practices & application of the powers described within, from self-empowerment, spiritual awakenings, cursing & maledictions, & others as well. Overall, this book is great, the author Asenath Mason, has gone beyond the call of duty here for sure, it's the first book of her's, I've ever read, & it's great. If you're a serious occultist, &/or practitioner of the Left Hand Path, this work will amaze & fascinate you. A serious word of warning however, like the author & other occultists, such as myself, this work is NOT for all. It is very dark, very primal, & amoral, you are dealing with very, very powerful entities, that pre-exist the normal old occult practices of the middle ages, & before. Once this work is started, you CANNOT go back, the transformation you will experience, will completely change who you are as a person, & if not careful, it could be for the worse & not the better! I would absolutely recommend this opus to all who are into Mesopotamian/ Babylonian magick &/or the Simon Necronomicon, or the Sumerian creation epic known as the "Enuma Elish". Know that it is for Left Hand Path followers, but of course that is not by any means a prerequisites to read or practice the ritual system within it's pages
