This is an excellent book in all maner and respects. If you admire Tony Andruzzi, Doc Shiels and the like this is a must have... BUT, it is not really the Complete Invocation, but HALF of it. I don't know why the above "description" persists as it is not accurate. As far as I know it is impossible to get the other half. A wonderful book nonetheless full of wonderful routines and stories written by the masters of the Bizarre! The rating is based on the fact that only half of the book is available. If the the whole set was really available, then the rating would be 5 stars. As it stands I'm only giving it a 3 1/2. DA

Product info for Compleat Invocation, The

 (1)

This long out-of-print classic, first published thirteen years ago in two volumes in a limited edition of 300, now reappears in a single 900-page hardcover. It contains all 16 issues of Invocation and issues 1-36 of The New Invocation. From Eugene Burger's introduction: Invocation is not your typical magic magazine. On the contrary, it is a magazine consciously devoted to weird and bizarre magick.. . . an older magic, a deeper and perhaps even darker tradition that has quietly spread underground for centuries.
