Both Sides of Heaven
A collection ofessays exploring the origins,
history, nature and magical practices of Angels, Fallen
Angels and Demons.
Edited by Sorita d'Este
Look up towards the heavens and open your
mind to the infinite, for it is there that you will
see the colourful multifaceted world of winged messengers
- Gods, Angels, Fallen Angels and Demons.
BOTH SIDES OF HEAVEN is a collection of 18 essays
by some of the foremost modern esoteric writers, occult
scholars and magicians. In their personal contributions
they share their experiences, research and unique insights
into the spiritual realms of the mysterious beings who
have played such an important and inspirational role
in human spiritual history.
From the nature of the daimons of the Graeco-Roman world,
the Zoroastrian Ahuras and Daevas, the seductive Lilith
and mighty Lucifer, through to the Fallen Angels of
the Bible and the Book of Enoch, and their children
the Nephilim, we find that these powerful beings are
harbingers of change.
In this anthology their magical natures are explored
through the works of Renaissance magicians such as Dr
John Dee and Edward Kelley, Dr Thomas Rudd and
more recently Madeline Montalban, as well as in that
of the experiences of the contributors themselves. The
ceremonies and conjurations of grimoires such as the
Key of Solomon, Goetia and Grimorium Verum are considered,
as well as adaptations thereof and simpler, personal
encounters.
When you look at Both Sides of Heaven seeking wisdom
and knowledge from the wings of ethereal messengers,
you will see legions of angels and demons, archangels,
fallen angels, old gods and even a few faeries and green
butterflies. And maybe, they will be looking back at
you too.
