The Sun of Knowledge (Shams al-Ma'arif): An Arabic Grimoire in Selected Translation

I decided to try my hand at following some of instructions in this book and let me tell you, it was quite the experience.I practiced one of the incantation's every day, but things only got interesting when I tried to levitate my cat. He wasn't having any of it and gave me the most unimpressed look, as if to say "get a real job, wizard."But the real magic happened when I tried to conjure up some food for dinner. To my surprise, I ended up with a pizza topped with all sorts of strange ingredients, like pickles and jellybeans. My cat took one bite and ran for the hills.Next, I tried to make a rose bloom, but instead of a beautiful flower, I ended up with a giant beanstalk that wouldn't stop growing. I had to cut it down with a chainsaw. Felt an overwhelming feeling that i'd come across this scenario somewhere before.Not deterred for the failures so far, I attempted to summon a cup of tea, but instead, I got a tidal wave that flooded my living room. My cat was not amused and I distinctly saw the feline roll its eyes at me.I then tried a simple spell to make a lightbulb glow, as the book is after all titled "the Sun..." so why not get some 'sun' into my room, but instead, it exploded into a shower of sparks. I was lucky not to get electrocuted.Finally, I attempted to summon a pencil, but instead, I got a swarm of bats that flew out of nowhere. I still have the bite marks to prove it.Overall, practicing the occult from this book was a nerve-wracking experience. I can hardly sleep at night, constantly wondering what else might go wrong. Doing all the above from this book was a wild ride, but I think I'll stick to reading comics for entertainment from now on.

Great history of Islamic mystery traditionPerfect for black Magic over Saudi princes

This a good book, which deserves some understanding and former knowledge. Having read this book as an Occultist it is by far a dangerous book, but only in the wrong hands of the foolish.

Not an easy book to understand. Starts off quite innocent discussing numbers and moon phases, but forwarding to later chapters about Jesus and Solomon, it begins to take a bit of a dark turn. For example, in the Solomon chapter, it discusses the names of Djinns that were during Solomons time, but the names are derived from "al Shayateen" which is the devil. So it says you should say in the name of God etc then goes to to discussing how to summon these Al Shayateens. Later chapters have talismans too, some of which are quite dark. Glad i sent this book back
