The Occult Art of War

By Seth (Spirit)

In this world of mystery and the unknown, the lives and energies of multiple occult groups and individuals inevitably intertwine. The various goals, beliefs, and agendas of these groups and individuals at times come into such tremendous conflict that a war begins. It is in this world of shadows and secrecy that the occult history of the world has unfolded for untold generations.

The Occult Art of War is a derivative work based upon the teachings of Sun Tzu in his ancient strategy manual, The Art of War. This text applies Sun Tzu's teachings to the conflicts that arise in the paths of those living in conjunction with the supernatural.

This book not only lays out specific methods of strategy, but also provides a code of ethics and mental attitude for responsible application of the strategies.

At its core this book is a manual for spiritual conflict and occult warfare.

A new twist on an old text...

What a cool book! It's nice to see that someone finally took the time to give their input on something like this! The best thing about this book is the fact that it goes along well with Seth's other books...Get them all...!

Magical warfare not for beginners.

What I found most interesting about this book, and perhaps the most difficult, was the assumption on the part of the author that the reader is capable of extremely advanced magical workings. The majority of the boook, and not suprisingly so given the Sun Tzu roots, focuses on what can best be described as battle magick. There is much mention of the use of offensive magick (hexes, curses, energy attacks) and defensive magick (sheilding, binding, protective enchantments). While I am pleased to have found such a directly informative, and completely unapologetic, book about the philosophy and application of such magick, I will say that the book is not a good tool for beginners. The novice will find it confusing and seemingly only a small departure from the source text, while in truth it is quite a step beyond just the world of physical weapons.
