BOTH SIDES OF HEAVEN
Edited by Sorita d'Este

Look up towards the heavens and open your mind to the infinite, for it is there
that you will see the colourful multifaceted world of winged messengers - Gods,
Angels, Fallen Angels and Demons.

BOTH SIDES OF HEAVEN is a collection of 18 essays by some of the foremost modern
esoteric writers, occult scholars and magicians. In their personal contributions
they share their experiences, research and unique insights into the spiritual
realms of the mysterious beings who have played such an important and
inspirational role in human spiritual history.

From the nature of the daimons of the Graeco-Roman world, the Zoroastrian Ahuras
and Daevas, the seductive Lilith and mighty Lucifer, through to the Fallen
Angels of the Bible and the Book of Enoch, and their children the Nephilim, we
find that these powerful beings are harbingers of change.

In this anthology their magical natures are explored through the works of
Renaissance magicians such as Dr John Dee and Edward Kelley, Dr Thomas Rudd and
more recently Madeline Montalban, as well as in that of the experiences of the
contributors themselves. The ceremonies and conjurations of grimoires such as
the Key of Solomon, Goetia and Grimorium Verum are considered, as well as
adaptations thereof and simpler, personal encounters.

When you look at Both Sides of Heaven seeking wisdom and knowledge from the
wings of ethereal messengers, you will see legions of angels and demons,
archangels, fallen angels, old gods and even a few faeries and green
butterflies. And maybe, they will be looking back at you too.
