@3:50 That series of books from Swart is prohibitively expensive even in paperback. I couldn't even find it at libraries. The GoM folks, Damon Brand in particular, may have taken some of the jewels from that crown but it's vital information many of us wouldn't have access to any other way.

[@digitalpenink]

$47, that's about the cost of a family of 3 getting one meal of fast food.

[@eazyelof4283]

I'm glad to see someone talk about GoM beyond just "bad". Obviously it's dumbed down and simplified but that doesnt seem inherently bad. Thanks for making actual critiques while explaining what they do well

[@essiebod8107]

As someone who was previously terrified of the occult, I am so grateful to GOM. I have and use all their angelic magick books. My desire to know my HGA is where it all started for me and Magickal Destiny delivered. This led me on to their other books and the most intense, immediate result I have been rewarded with so far has come from using Mystical Words of Power. I don't care about pomp and ceremony and I enjoy the fact that someone else has done the hard work researching and testing the magick. I'm finding my path and don't think I would have taken the first steps if it wasn't for Foolish Fish and GoM.

[@osk5069]

To boot I actually would never have heard about GoM if it weren't for this channel. Thank you fish! I came for the sword and lo, I am in love with the environment!

[@user-co4xl7wx3q]

Indeed, Mystical Words of Power has had incredible results in my life - absolutely amazing experiences; when Damon writes about “a feeling of Love that seems to come from _reality_ itself,” I had that experience, but it wasnt until reflecting on it days later, then recalling that I had performed the Ritual of Love a day or two before then…

[@osk5069]

@@user-co4xl7wx3q I'll have to reread it. I've used it briefly but I'm working with the 72 sigils of power by Zana Blaise which I fundamentally love

[@alekid]

How did the one about HGA work for you? I went through the process but it had no effect and I found the book too wordy and a bit childlike in trying to explain such simple rituals. Probably that disconnected me from the process a bit, I'm not sure. I might try again. I had even forgotten I had the book until I saw your post. Curious to know if it worked for you.

Thank you for this video. As I have immersed myself in the GOM books, I found them to be "easy" magic. As I have searched for reviews of the books, I found alot of very positive youtube videos , but no really negative ones. I appreciate your fair comments on these books. I consider myself an "advanced beginner" and have always found myself bouncing around trying to absorb too much. These GOM books helped me focus a bit.

The synchronicity timing is just, wow. I am not even surprised at this point.

[@FolkcraftConjure75]

Agreed

[@whangbar]

Herr Fish, I agree with you very much in this video. I wouldn't call myself a beginner and was practicing for some time before the GoM books emerged, but I like their books in general. One thing I've noticed (which may or may not be true for other practitioners) is that the "difficulty" of many of their books scales up the more you work with them. In other words, most of the GoM spellbooks are decent starting points that can be deepened (and, interestingly, that also cross-pollinate in terms of ritual technique and potential outcomes if you work with multiple GoM texts simultaneously over time and write down your experiences). Eventually, if you work with a particular GoM text long enough (and keep reading, researching, writing in your magical diary, and soberly evaluating your magical processes), you can grow into something which comes to look very much like one of the older, more elaborate forms of work. For example, working with Demons of Magick can ultimately lead you to the work of Joseph Peterson or Dr. Skinner, which may result in your evocations beginning to look a little "hybrid" and eventually you might start investigating some medieval / renaissance modifications, which then . . .

Yesterday I was looking at my copy of Magickal Protection, a few hours ago I watched the review on your channel (the video from two years ago), now you uploaded the GoM, whew

[@FoolishFishBooks]

[@teratzul]

I'm a big fan of the gallery. Their rituals can be mighty powerful if one already knows some magick. As someone who really enjoys academic Material, I profoundly dislike how they deal with sources. They are quick to mention, unapproachable materials like Shorsei haShemot or Brit Menucha, but will not even passingly mention Jacobus G Swart, it almost feels like they are deliberately doing that, almost as if they were thinking "No, we are not giving them those names, otherwise they might actually figure out how to do this stuff by themselves". I still enjoy their rituals and their materials are often my first go to for a lot of stuff.

[@janeslater8004]

I have all the gom books. I found them really helpful in begining but moved on to other things.i like reading qbour history of mythologies nordic egyptian nordic and anciwnt religions qnd paganism

[@tenorei]

I find it a quite trivial matter of the ego wherein someone can find themselves easily frustrated after going through a lot of effort and difficulty to establish a way of doing things only to find out that someone else found a much simpler and efficient way to gain similar results. I personally do not see any of the ways inferior as I do see that every individual has been given their own path of discovery and it is up to them how they proceed on and develop it. Unfortunately, this kind of behaviour can be seen everywhere wherever human experience is involved, not only magic but in every field.

[@FFVison]

I've seen since people suggesting a few gom books. I'm a little disappointed to hear about their lack of citations especially when some were cursed by the author with an anti piracy spell rendering any practices ineffective if the reader pirated the book. I believe I did read one or two of the books and they seemed like a good starting point to practicing like you had said. They are also good for people who aren't particularly bookish.

[@FraterSorax]

The author did not curse anyone its important to understand the law of eqaul exchange ignore that you do so at your own peril even exchanging energies with a spirit is considered eqaul energy exchange. You support the author you get the exchange of gnosis with spirit. Some spirits dont care while orhers its there office to punish individuals that steal 😉

Thank you, this video was very informative. I’ve only been seriously studying the grimoire system for a short time . The part about pulling out pieces of other books, pieces that work that is, sounds very similar to the theory of how the whole system came about. Of course you couldn’t site sources, most of it was illegal. Someone was coming after you if you were caught with it. Church/ State ,angry peasants (😬). Now I suppose they are hiding from the publishers of the sources. All though copyright is a thing these days, Intellectual property and such . I simply see both sides. Think I’m just gonna order another Joseph H Peterson book from Amazon and call it a Friday. Thank you again for all the information you provide!🌀

The negative reviews of these books on Amazon make me weary. I bought a few books under your recommendation. There’s several reviews that say the master protection ritual (33 day one) makes them have a bad day. The reviews say there’s Solomonic magic and they don’t like that, not sure why. But I DO know that I don’t particularly like the pronunciation configuration, where WHAT you’re saying isn’t known to the speaker. Words are powerful. Nitika was great for me, but there’s so many reviews about that spirit harassing them (an old man in a gray beard)?

[@bootsycurie]

Sometimes I think people confuse Angels as good and Demons as bad. In my experience Angels are more psychopathic and lack empathy while Demons are more human like and understand nuance better. Have had much better success with Demons and I honestly don't trust Angels nearly as much

[@gaetanodestefano7647]

Is Chaos Magick ok ?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Yes, it's not magick to cause chaos, but rather magick that assumes chaos is the default, and then molds that chaos into the desired form.

Foolish Fish my question is to you ~ are these Angels and Archangels demons ? Are they demonic spirits ? Thank you 🙇‍♀️

[@FoolishFishBooks]

No. At least not in the way you mean it. Daimones, sure, but demons, no. You'll also find they:re very different to work with. Angels tend to change you into the kind of person to whom your request happens, while demons tend to make the request happen regardless of consequences or whether it's good or bad for you.

Update on some GOM ritual I've done: I've completed the MPR and the changes that happened were intense. The girl whom I was seeing (a Covert Narcissist that I didn't tell them I was doing this ritual), started having nightmares and felt like she needed to leave me to stop those nightmares. She claimed a spirit keeps telling her to leave. In addition, I found my voice (maybe because of the second genius in the ritual). So that whole situation was resolved without much from interaction. All in all, the energy around me is much, much better. Then did the Magickal Cashbook. Didn't work in the 11 days. But on the 19th day, I got an email from my Credit card company telling me my credit limit has increased by THE EXACT NUMBER I'd requested. Great first intro to hands on experience!

Great video! I am currently on the last working of Wealth Magick. It’s been quite a ride. I’ve been involved with different traditions throughout my adult life, ten years in Fourth Way group, years between different Buddhist temples. I’ve always been pushed toward Magick. The GOM books have taken me from an armchair “magician” to actually developing a daily practice (with results). The Magical Cashbook was my first experience with their books and the results were so exact that it was nearly unbelievable. As you have said (in a roundabout way) these books have compelled me to dust off my accumulation of “Magick” books and actually delve into them with some confidence.

[@ggcat2266]

I am not a beginner. I've been practicing different forms and paths throughout my lifetime. I came to the GoM when I was quite advanced and found their instruction to be the path I most resonate with, that has done the most for me yet. So, I would say from my experience, the GoM isn't just for beginners or made for beginners. It is something however, that beginners can do, but just because someone can do something doesn't mean they should. I personally don't think it is beginner magick, just because beginners can do it. I REALLY love the GoM. I feel they have changed my life in indescribable ways. Admittedly, there are deeper aspects of magick and spirituality that should be adressed before doing magick and I personally think that should be addressed but it's obvious the GoM has a different pholosphy and does things in accordance with their own ways, so I respect that.

[@wayist1159]

I second that motion. What is missed in the analysis of the "simplified" aspects of GOM, is that, in order to do that and still have it work-- they must have a truly potent and effective understanding of the concepts and principles behind the magick. Someone just cutting and pasting at random could not reproduce the same product, and I am convinced that they have the experiences that they claim to have. Second, many of the "primary" sources that they are not acknowledging are terribly hard to understand for someone trying to come at it from a beginning perspective. One does not have to go far in the occult to realize that there are lies and real dangers on the path. GOM has reduced those hazards significantly!

Part of my issue with the GOM was the lack of sources provided as well, though I have bought and used their material quite a lot. Magickal protection was one of my first buys. Like you, it pushed me to look further and figure things out for myself. You described a lot of the feelings I myself have had in this video, and I had actually slowed down a lot of practice from their books when I stopped realizing what I was working with. I still very much appreciate their work and how accessible it is. It has opened so many doors for me, just as you explained. Thanks for this.

[@gregtaylor9806]

I started with more complicated materials and looked down at the GoM style but, I tried it on a whim and the results were life changing on several occasions.

[@atelier27]

Started with McCarthy, Lon Milo DuQuette, skinner etc and then GOM The older I get the less patience I have with making things complicated and difficult. Most magick is really easy and oft not called magick at all. And it’s really ok to like things that others think isn’t real enough. I’m over the you have to read the gulag archipelago before you can understand me kinda stuff.

[@coldhaven1233]

I second this. I have many of the tomes and grimoires of old, but the time to sit down and decipher their meaning...I just don't have the time with everything else I'm doing in life. GOM should cite their sources, but their work does help me get something done fairly quickly with great results.

[@NobodiesOfficial]

I've worked with many GoM books from your recommendation actually (thank you for that 👐) and I absolutely agree that it's a great source for getting people started. Simple practical magick can be much more insightful than even years of study.

[@sebastianrobledo1102]

Well, I actually had I good first experience with TGOM. I got into magick and I became exactly a “couch magician” I got so many books and read so much and eventually did this and that but the information became overwhelming. So I got Words of Power by TGOM and I made a very simple ritual for “getting guidance” because the information was so bast and different I needed a guide. While I was doing it I thought it to be quite difficult to actually get a physical mentor but I did the ritual anyway. What happened is that a week after I found QUAREIA by Josephine Mcarthy and oh my god! That’s exactly what I needed, a 0 to 100 guidance to go in your on Rythm and by your own. So, that’s my experience, now I’m starting to read Demons of Magick and let’s see how that one goes.

[@haydenwilliams2777]

I have gotten nothing but fantastic results from the gallery of magick, and although it isn’t a book that you have necessarily recommended, I have been eager to work out of Success Magick just to see what kind of results can bring to my material life and career.

[@annast9172]

The beauty of GOM is their simplicity. As someone who's terribly busy I simply don`t have time to research more and if they included more theory, I would have unfortunately cut through it or have abandonned the book, so their books are of great help for those busy beginners how just can`t afford serious study. I suppose that I can get into more detail about magick when I retire one day.

With the Gallery of Magick Books There is not Limits but your imagination that Limit you and your Arrogance, If you can Evoke For example Angels or Demons Dogmatic names for those entities of course, You dont need any other book that teach you how to work with Angel's and demons because when you learn how to make direct contact with them trough evocation the spirits can teach you directly how to work with them deeply and teach you magick directly, The truth Sorce is Learning how to evoke them and learn directly from them and stop buying so many books that always come with bias ideas, Evocation is not for Cowards. And people that can contact Spirits directly don't need any books.

These Rituals have changed my life for the better and I will continue working through the rest of the book, until I feel I have done enough with it. I am absolutely gobsmacked to be honest. Don't get me wrong, the changes are subtle, but hugely significant to where my life is just now, i.e. coming out of a long dark night of the soul.

[@williamswanson1030]

I tend to proceed with caution when it comes to my magickal practice. Magickal Protection, Magickal Destiny, and The 72 Angels of Magick have each provided me with the necessary first steps for slow and deliberate action. As I have grown more comfortable and clear in my understanding of what I am doing, as well as what is being done to and through me, my accomplishments have increased. And I can see that my focus will eventually shift into more complex work in the future. GOM has provided me with exactly what I needed to begin bringing my vision into reality. The work is too important to me to have proceeded otherwise. Thank you, Denis, for another wonderful video.

I won't lie, I've purchased quite a few GOM books. The results were so . . . scant (especially with my 72 angels of magic experience), that I pretty much exclusively worked with sigils for a long time. I get the results I want every time. I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong (and I'll tell you lust for results probably did play a higher role than with my sigils, which is pretty much non-existent), but I'm still interested in giving Demons of Magick a shot (more my speed i think compared to the shem-hamphorash). I can say that Magical Protection was my first grimoire, the sword banishing and master protection rites were my first rituals, and they got me on the path. For that I'm grateful

Great review as always Dennis! I love the GoM! Their hands on approach, straightforwardness and result driven system has done wonders to my practice. I have been practicing for more than 35 years now, and thanks to the GoM I found several tweaks to make my practice more powerful, simpler and deeper. The GOM + Lon Milo Duquette’s are two sources I am really thankful for. Finding them have helped me streamline and make easier to understand and value Crowley, Dee, Agrippa, Peterson, Skinner, McCarthy, F.Acher and others…and the GoM system has enabled me to go “rogue” and find that chaos Magick that sometimes is needed to adjust my practice (as an example, I adjusted my LBRP because of them and it made wonders to the feeling and power of it)… Someone said that all Grimoires at some point are personal tweaks to an old or traditional system…and I couldn’t agree more…the great thing about the GoM approach is that it works! And that is a great window and catalyst to help all practitioners get excited, evolve and grow their practice. Thanks again Dennis!

I enjoyed this video very much so I just subscribed. I've been reading and using these works from the GOM since 2015 and have been having great results. I own every book they released. And I can confirm that the GOM use pen names. Damon Brand shared this himself when he used to frequent his group page and online forums. I miss this days when we could message him directly and he'd respond and give more tips. He is an author of fictional works as well so he likes to keep his magickal works separate and private. He never did share his real name or the titles of his fictional works.

I prefer to practice what many people would call witchcraft, but with my lifestyle as a truck driver, I don’t have much room for herbs, bottles, candles, etc in the truck, so GOM and similar books like Lucifer and the Hidden Demons is the magick I do the most.

[@lionkingerika]

GOM IS AMAZING

[@soundlife412]

This is the perfect take on the books and the rituals work incredibly well. Like you they were my gateway into the occult.

[@moviemagusII]

Yay! Thanks for doing this (and listening to my comment from the previous video 😊)

[@miklos_369]

Im intrigued by magick as I havent been able to get results from regular manifesting via the subconscious mind. I'm thinking of trying some stuff from Words of Power but im kind of freaked out by calling on entities. What even are angels in magickal thinking? And cant other entities show up and trick you or mess with you?

[@gaia_arttt]

Indeed, this is an honest opinion because you always have to do something to be able to criticize it. Magickal protection is actually a really handy and easy book, with easy rituals you can do without a setup and you really see long term results. I don't like when people say "oh you do this, does that work?" and have a face of disbelief. Magick is actually NOT for everyone and I am so grateful I belong in this community. I am so happy that you always review books honestly and really make me spend all my money there 😂. Thank you !!

[@calebpaschall7895]

I'm absolutely a beginner practitioner, so for me the GOM is appealing because they make it so accessible. I'd like to offer a different perspective, if I may. I also am a MMA and JKD practitioner, and as such tend to draw on many different arts, any one of which can be studied on its own for years. I suppose the kind of "wide but shallow" approach of the GOM appeals to me exactly because that's how I approach my other practices. The plagiarism issue is still an issue, but I appreciate GOM's beginner-friendly method.

[@raypeanuts3185]

Love the GOM. After many many years as a wannabe gandalf, it was the gallery of magick, in conjunction with you, denis, and aidan wachter who finally got me out of the chair and onto the broom. Eternal gratitude.

[@ralphisback]

so far i’ve worked with two books from the gallery of magick and both have absolutely changed the game for me, but this video makes me want to both look into more of those books and also get my hands dirty with some of the original grimoires

[@andyprice98]

The message in the video is great!!! but the pop up clips are distracting.

[@thesummerland6165]

a few other good authors, in addition to and along lines of GOM type writing, that I enjoyed/got results are Corwin Hargrove 'Magick of Influence', which goves a range of deities, and spirits, and Ben Woodcroft's books I've enjoyed Gordon Winterfield's writing and Brand

[@NoreaLamia]

My first chaos magic book was actually a GOM book. Adam Blackthorne's Master Works of Chaos Magic book, specifically. I feel like even though my chaos magic looks wildly different now, Blackthorne's "if it works it doesn't matter how" attitude was very informative to how I always approached chaos magic, and magic in generally actually (my witchcraft workings also operates on the question "well, does that work?", to the point that in my practice chaos magic and witchcraft are rarely differentiated). GOM books aren't bad, they're just basic enough to get the most important points across, and for beginners that can be powerful.

[@normangarcia8941]

I am started in 2018 in magick using GOM and I have ups and downs with them and alongside GOM i tried POM (power of magick) both are impressive in their own right but I said I use them both, GOM makes me realize that I have untapped talent- Magick

[@BeesWaxMinder]

FWIW, the cover of "secret angel magic" is so like a sculpture not far from my house!!🤭

[@millercron]

I speak as I find. The Gallery of magick I have a lot of time for. The two go to books for me are: Sigils of Power and Transformation and The Master Works of Chaos Magick. I have had successes with these and would highly recommend them. Magickal Servitors is certainly a good guide for servitor building. I have just read Secret Angel Magick and have not used any workings from that. I am going to do a comparison with The 84 Genies of Power by Tristan Whitespire. Which I have had successes with.

[@isaachunt666]

These books are a godsend for ADHD idiots like myself

[@silvermans]

You're not an idiot,don't call yourself that. Peace and blessings ❤

[@davidcarter1013]

You were smart enough to know there are things beyond the 5 senses,lotza people ain't bright enough to realize that.

[@rach623]

That magickal cash book definitely. 👌🏼 I’ve had results. The Denning and Philips planetary Magick I’ve only just gotten hold of. Very informative and easy to read and work with.

[@invisigoth777]

One of the earlier books did mention where they got the idea..it was the one that focus on Raziel, and they mentioned they discovered it through the New Avatar Power

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Yes! Didn't kill them to state their source that time, did it? 😄

[@invisigoth777]

@@FoolishFishBooks no it didn't..i like their books, but i do wish they would at least put a bibliography, for further reading that's why, even though it gets a lot of hate, i loved the book Modern Magick, by Donald Kraig..every chapter had further reading

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

@@invisigoth777so many Magick books these days don’t have a bibliography it’s so frustrating

[@molinaf1cation]

The only book I hadn’t gotten results as needed was 72 Angels of Magick, but it might be a discipline issue. 10 days for a ritual seemed like much and I get burnt out after Day 8 😅 but Gordon Winterfeld’s work is probably my favorite.

[@SoldMyKidneyForItzyTickets]

Lol weird,the 72 angels were the reason for believed in magick,apart from getting the result i asked for the sigil was waving itself in an absolutely closed space. Dont know much about magick,but i really suggest you give it another shot if youre ever interested its an amazing book

[@Dmoon1234]

I have just about all of Josephine Mccarthys book including the apprentice cycle, but I’ve had a horrible time starting and sticking to her extensive course work. I’ll try the two books mentioned. It might help me get more on track and feel less discouraged.

[@jernailevans3206]

I personally don't vibe with their work. That being said, I purchased Adam New book..I personally prefer Jareth tempest.

[@addj7093]

Foolish Fish I think you should do Audiobook Narration for Magick books your voice is perfect for it 👍🏻

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Thank you! If you dig deep enough onto my channel you might even find one or two...

[@newangeltarot]

Who are these other channels that disagree et al. I'd be interested to watch those too.

[@omid3511]

Appreciate you putting this together. I had a very mixed experience with a Shem ritual from the 72 Angels book. It led to me feeling insecure in my own abilities to participate in a working without garnering mixed results.

[@amanitaverna9764]

Sir you yourself and your work introduced me to Magick. I absolutely feel blessed that one night I fell upon one of your youtube videos by chance. I have had strong results with gallery of magick. All the best to you.

[@1734-Jason]

Have you checked out Grand Key of Solomon the King: Ancient Handbook of Angel Magic and Djinn Summoning Book by Pseudo Asaph Berechiah It's a interesting book

[@richardmurillo2413]

I have worked with several books and had very good results, I truly enjoy their works and would recommend GOM books.❤

[@thewizardofawes8194]

Another GREAT vídeo, dear FF! Congratulations! Here are my thoughts on GOM: What?!? These GOM people?!? Those guys who simplify almost all hard magic in cheap, softcover books?!? Bastards, that's what they are! But most unforgivable of all is that what they teach… simply works! 😉 Now seriously: the GOM books I've read till now state that they studied grimoire and other traditional materials, and that all the simplifications they do come from these sources. But they don't name them, do they? Therefore, I agree with you that it would be really cool indeed if they made a clarification in some future work naming their sources.
