I sent out a couple of pre-release copies to reviewers to have a look at the Shem Grimiore so that they could give readers some unbiased insight about what it is about. The first came from Morgan Drake Eckstein and can be seen here
Morgan gave it five out of five stars saying that this book is meant to be used.
“One of its center pieces is a ritual to actually get in contact with a Shem angel (one of the 72 angels created from the so-called 72 lettered name of God…which actually has 216 letters in it, but who is counting?). There is also an interesting Middle Pillar ritual, complete with head movements inspired by Abraham Abulafia (a mystic of the Kabbalah bent).”
This is BY FAR Nick Ferrell’s best book. I was lucky enough to read an advanced copy and the content is amazing… I have read every book on Shem work that I can find and this one goes to the top of the list. The information on the Hebrew letters is all you need to know about them and how they affect tarot readings. The background on the Shem itself is very comprehensive. However the part of this book that will keep you pulling it off the self over and over is Nicks Shem ritual itself. Based on the Golden Dawn Z-formula I am completely in love with this ritual! In fact I believe this Shem ritual is actually worth twice the price of this book. Its not for beginners though. It’s long, intense and I am sure it’s effective. The only drawback to this book is it’s limited to 200 copies… luckily I ordered three.
Sales are going well and I do not think it will be around for long. You can buy it here
