Nocturnal Witchcraft: Magick After Dark

I found this book very useful. Although it is not a complete course in magick, it does offer a unique perspective and approach I have not found in any other Wicca or Witchcraft books. I agree that it may seem a little trendy to the casual observer, but honestly what mass produced books on Wicca aren't trendy these days? I thought the book was a refreshing change from the New Age/Wicca books currently flooding the market.But this book isn't for everyone. If a person has a deep love of the entity known as night then the book will resonate with them. Otherwise it is easy to dismiss it as a trendy goth work (although the author doesn't spend much time discussing that particular sub-culture). Personally as a non-Goth I appreciated the author's insights into the night. His approach is more about a naturally based identification with the night than a socially based one.As far as modern reworkings of the old magicks go, I think Konstantinos has done a good job with this book. Of course it isn't a stand alone work, but it is a good primer for those who love the night and want to work with it in a deeper way.

I had my suspicions when I first bought this book, but I was wrong. This book actually ISN'T a sack of vampiric c[junk] like I thought it would be. It discusses Paganism from a night childs point of view. Its an interesting book to read even of you arent a Nocturnal person. However, those of you with the predisposition, I recommend it.

I have been studing witchcraft for over seven years but always felt like there was something missing from magick, another half of the answer to a question I couldn't quite put my finger on. On a whim I picked up this book and started reading the introduction. Saying I was blown away is an understatement. I found myself reading words I had felt for so long. Though, understandably, the author mentioned things in the first part that I had already known from prior studying, it was comforting in a way to know that he wasn't some newbie quack babling about something he was way off on, or worse some crack job cultist. The exersises are outlined very simply and in a way that even a first timer could understand and what's more he tells you what you can expect and aproximately how long it will take or a truelly positve affect to manifest.The best part is that he mentions his own personal experinces in such a way that you know he is preaching what he practiced. This is very reassuring for individuals who fear negative repercussions of an occultic nature.The other thing I found impressive was that I felt compelled to e-mail the author to tell him how great his book was, not expecting a response. Two days after I sent him my thoughts I was floored to see his response. This is not only a man who knows what he is talking about but enjoys hearing what others fell about his writting.I urge everyone who practicise to give this book a try. It is well worth the fourteen dollars to do so! You will not be disappointed.

This book is what anyone who wants to know more about shadow magick should get. Even though there are books out there that deal with this topic, Nocturnal Witchcraft takes it steps further. Konstantinos excellently tells what exactly the shadows are to witches and how it can be used in everyday magick. Plus, he adds extra information(a listing of the deities, herbs used during certain rituals) to help the novice or experienced witch what they need in order to come closer to the shadows. He does not try to candy coat anything, just explains with detail and his own personal experiences with this magick.I have already told many people about this book and I hope through this review and many others, that witches do purchase this book. Such a wonderful insight into the shadows...

This book grabbed me the first time I saw it. Konstantinos is a genius is explaining this issue to a new level. I have read his books before and am by no means new to magic or the dark night, but he has outdone himself once again. I look forward to reading his next publication. I already knew most of what he was saying in the book, but it helped make it easier to clarify some of the things I was already doing. This is a love it or hate it book, so if you are not nocturnal...... you might wanna pass. 5 stars!
