Praise for Occult Experiments in the Home (Aeon, 2010) by Duncan Barford ‘This book describes magic as I know it: teasing, tricky and never quite as expected, and yet it leaves our lives so much richer in colour and meaning. Read it, do it, and take a new look at your world.’ Ramsey Dukes, author of SSOTBME and The Little Book of Demons “A story of two guys investigating enlightenment, which, by reading it, becomes a catalyst for the reader’s own inquiry into existence, and into what’s really looking out from their own eyeballs.” – James H. “I found it inspiring, full of useful and applicable ideas, and, ultimately, curative for a kind of paranoia and hopelessness I had been feeling. On top of that, it’s a page-turner.” – Dean. “This book recontextualised for me the Western esoteric tradition. It led me down a rabbit hole that opened up into an expansive cavern right at the heart of the underworld. If these two fools can do it, so can you!” – Feroxaper. “Among my favourite few pieces of writing by contemporary magicians. Well worth reading for anyone even vaguely interested in the topic.” – Harry.
