Read it for yourself if you have the interest. This book goes beyond words, and is likely to mean something different for me than you.

Interesting read. If true, there is SO much we don't know.

Very provocative perspective from an Adept author familiar with the LHP workings with such a powerful Entity. Was humbling and intriguing from lens as a dabbler hungering to reach neophyte status in esoteric realm of practice.

Easily Koetting's best work, thought provoking and damnably diabolical.

Hard to rate this book. It's been a few months since I read it. I had the 2012 first edition Nephilim Press hardcover limited to 777 copies (initially 666 but then disappointedly expanded a month later to 777). Some of the content seems ok, Koetting uses his own sigils and symbols for goetic evocation so it is different to Solomonic magic here. The book focusses on Azazel and his associated spirits that I don't think are described anywhere else. The style of writing is partly autobiographical and partly him quoting Azazel's explanations regarding the astral realm and kingdom of flame, the latter of which are really rather overdramatic, verbose and not particularly helpful. He has some elaborate sequence for deconstructing and reconstructing the self. There are a few pages on evocation in general that are quite good and I think this is supposedly some sort of sequel to his previous book Evoking Eternity. Most of the autobiographical content is Koetting trying to be the occult Tony Robbins, trying to use real life examples of how his life changed when he did all these rituals and communicated with Azazel. The problem is that it all sounds made up, and I don't trust anything he says about himself or other people mentioned in the book.
The preface by another writer was the best part of the book and was absolutely hilarious. I don't think it was meant to be amusing. Was a joy to read. The first chapter by Koetting about how his first big ritual in the basement of an occult book shop he rented out, crammed full of guests, panned out, was somewhat amusing, but again I didn't really believe much of it. It was overdramatised. The rest of the autobiography content of the book was rather boring and a little irritating. He keeps repeating himself regarding the kingdom of flame and astral having no concept of time or time not existing so by his logic if you evoke Azazel once you have always been connected and always will be connected and thus it's some permanent thing. I find this argument rather weak.
You could condense the actual ritual portion of the book down to 10 pages. However I still think that is probably legit. I haven't tried it myself. Something along the lines of standing in the triangle with the entity rather than standing in a square. Then you draw symbols on each wall. The trouble is the size of the symbols in the book are small and in one case hard to make out. I'd rather dedicate one page per symbol and have it enlarged, then 100 pages of total waffle and tiny symbols.
The hardcover was ok in cloth. The deluxe edition was plain black leather bound and wasn't cheap to buy but felt a bit low rent. However the big selling point was that it was full of secret sigils, which everyone was saying beforehand were written into the pages with a UV pen. And they were. So everyone who bought the deluxe bought a UV torch to find these sigils before the UV ink faded too much. They were all drawn into the books by hand by Frank the publisher. Unfortunately, he did not put anything under the pages when he drew on them, so the ink bled through multiple pages each time. So it took a little figuring out which pages the sigils were meant to have been drawn on. They were rather crudely drawn, he had a lot to do to each book and there were 33 deluxes to get through. I drew the symbols on paper, and a friend of mine took photos under the UV light, and her photos were really hard to make them out from, my drawings were better but there was a lot of ambiguity regarding the page they were from as the pages were pressed together before the ink had dried each time. Half of the symbols looked similar to alchemical symbols, the rest who knows. It is hard to know if they relate to anything on the page they are from, and if so, what do they mean. I think if you can make any sense of any of them you are doing well, otherwise it's just a fun gimmick and puzzle and I wouldn't expect anything should you happen to get a special reserve edition and the ink is still visible. Don't DM me for my notes. The answer will be no.
So overall, the book is half total trash, part intriguing. Hard to know whether to give 2 or 3 stars without having worked the book.

Best one yet
As someone who has felt a draw to azazel for years now, this book did more to help me on a self-and-personal spiritual level than anything else. Koetting is a fantastic writer, and he is a phenomenal storyteller.
