This is a really odd book that I found at a rare bookseller called 'Read Books'. It was the red lacquer painted door that attracted me into the store after I got the pun, har-dee-har-har. I wandered into the occult section and eyed this book thinking it'd be silly. Someone had written on its first page - "Dear Barbara, I threw a pebble in the air which, for my misfortune, turned out to be the Lapis Judaicus. Damn! To summon me while in Iowa, carefully read aloud 'Key' found on pg 99 of the present edition." Bookworm that I am, I realized this book was a first edition and the Lapis Judaicus passage was handwritten by the author himself who was a lecturer at Boston College. So ... I couldn't resist starting to read it nor resist turning to page 99. It's a spell entitled "To Summon Demons". I had to take this book home. It's filled with illustrations and photos of ancient monuments and sacred places. It also is full of very strange spells, most of them demonic ... or they're simply poems, such as "Raising the Devil: A Legend of Cornelius Agrippa" on page 111. With numerous Renaissance references, Shakespeare references, William Blake, Hieronymus Bosch, Albrecht Durer, Dante's Inferno, etc it actually is a veritable treasure trove of information for an author writing fantasy, and thus lives up to its name. So yes, I snapped it up. It is quite strange, but never fails to entertain.
