Not that it IS--it isn't. It's a creation of a Ceremonial Magician from New York City.

Really, what the fuck DOES pass for Scholarly Research these days? The origins of this book are not hard to find or figure out--it was only written 20 years (or so) ago. > >and why? > > Because so many idiotic people are destined to try and follow its > rantings, with the faith that they can attain this same elusive status > and aura of mystique as the work therein illustrates, by incorporating > its hodge-podge of techniques into their *own* path. > And so many other people spout such blathering bullshit about it that even more suckers er, seekers, seek it out to try it out. > Have a good read of it, if you like. > It won't hurt you, I promise > And you may even apply some of its work into your own style of rituals > I've seen several groups that have, VERY successfully. > But just don't take it too seriously.
