Preface to the Second Edition
In the three years since the publication of the first edition of Black Magic Evocation of the Shem ha Mephorash, I have written and published four more works. The first addition to my continuously evolving oeuvre was Sacerdotium Umbrae Mortis, a deep, semiotic exegesis of the eleven tribes of Canaan and their enumeration and systematization into a full rite of self-initiation into a priesthood dedicated to penetrating the mysteries of vampirism and predatory sorcery. That book contains some very useful and illuminating corrections to various errors in the Hebrew and in the transliteration of terms in the traditional Qliphoth or adverse Kabbalistic tree of life. At the time I wrote Black Magic Evocation, I had not discovered those errors nor made the corrections.
In the next book I published, Explicit Name of Lucifer, I laid out a complete system of poetic resonances for words that can be written in the English alphabet. I dubbed this system Luciferal Gematria. As it turns out, this tool has proven useful beyond my wildest expectations; it is safe to say that without it, my future works would have been impaired if not impossible. Again, I did not have Luciferal Gematria at my disposal when I wrote the first edition of Black Magic Evocation.
My next book was Sefer Yeroch Ruachot (literally “Moon Spirits Book”), which lays out a previously unknown Shem ha Mephorash subsystem—a cipher representing facets not of the creator deity Yahweh but of said divinitys nemesis, Satan, in said archfiends lunar aspect. Some of the spirits enumerated in Sefer Yeroch Ruachot belong to the same angelic detachments as those discussed in Black Magic Evocation (in fact, one spirit is a member of both Shem ha Mephorash systems). Once again, when I wrote the first edition of Black Magic Evocation, I had not done the deeper research that became Sefer Yeroch Ruachot.
As a result, when I agreed to the second edition of this book, in addition to performing the usual tasks of error correction, clarification of some difficult topics, and rewriting awkward prose, I decided to retrofit and extend the entire book using the knowledge and tools I created and perfected in those later works, changing and adding information as needed. I first changed the Qliphothic names to the corrected versions formulated in Sacerdotium Umbrae Mortis. I then used Luciferal Gematria from Explicit Name of Lucifer to mine deeper poetic resonances for each spirit, determine which chimeric forms they might be expected to take when manifesting in the conjuration chamber, provide additional sacraments for each entity, and divine mantras of Luciferally resonant power words which aid in bringing them into conscious interaction by means of Luciferal resonance. After I had finished these tasks, I updated information on various spirits when my knowledge of them had benefited from the additional and deeper research that became Sefer Yeroch Ruachot.
Finally, I carefully and meticulously created several indexes which list each of the 390 spirits and 60 angelic detachments that are discussed in this treatise. I also, to give the reader a sense of context, provided, for the first time, a complete list of the 52 subsystems, 1273 angels, and 250 angelic detachments which comprise the entire Greater Shem ha Mephorash, and which will be the subject of The Complete Encyclopedia of Shem ha Mephorash Spirits.
(There is in addition to this Hebrew supersystem a Shem ha Mephorash hidden in the Greek New Testament. This system, being constructed from different semiotic primitives, is apart from the Hebrew Greater Shem ha Mephorash supersystem and is treated in a separate volume entirely.)
The result is that the second edition is 509 pages compared with the first editions 249 pages. The new content alone is enough to fill a 200-page second volume. I hope this new version provides greater clarity, richness, detail, illumination and usefulness to all witches embarking onpathworking using the spirits herein, or who are reading the book for knowledge and edification, or just out of curiosity or for enjoyment.
Hail Satan,
Gilles de Laval

Verified ownerI've really enjoyed this work over the years; it does a fantastic job of creating a practical Goetic ritual structure that can be implemented, understood, and even edited with ease. Many grimoires work with Using Angelic and Sephirothic forces to summon the Infernal, and there are other works that focus on the Qliphothic or Infernal themselves, but it's not often we find ourselves a work that involves using the Qliphoth to invoke Angelic forces, whether their pure form or a Qliphothic abstraction. It holds many experiments in alternate calendars, scripts, and tarot association as well to really "plug and play" for lack of a better term. It's approachable, and yet is very thorough; and in my experience with it, it rewards creativity.
As for the book itself, the construction isn't bad! The gold foiling does fade after time, but this to be expected, though on my copy it started a bit quicker than I had hoped. The covers do "splay" a good amount, and this did also happen rather quickly after receiving this tome; but its still a lovely addition to the bookshelf, and it's faded foiling is only proof its use has been worth it.
Verified ownerG. D. Laval's "Black Magick Evocation of the Shem Ha Mephorash" is quite the exquisite modern Grimoire, which packs a complete system of Goetic magick which can be used to summon the fractured disembodied intelligences that make up the greater Shem Ha Mephorash system. The Shem Ha Mephorash itself is the supposed sacred name of god embodied within a particular passage of the Bible. Derived from the text using advanced Gematria (a Hebrew practice of using numerology to find esoteric correspondences between different words and concepts, as well as used to sharpen the mind and create complicated ciphers and hidden text such as this name itself), this name is broken into 72(a frequent numerical iteration), three letter seals which can be used to either invoke an angelic entity or evoke a Qliphothic one. These entities are metaphorical representations of different energey currents which run parallel across both The Tree of Life and Tree of Death. Itself also described in much greater detail in the study of Kaballah, and have governance over particular traits or faculties of the ruling forces of the universe. Being Black Magick Evocation, this book focuses predominantly on Qliphothic evocation. However, the immense erudition contained within can have a rather potentially large direct impact on the praxis of many twists in the broader left hand path.
The new edition being released will somehow, undoubtedly manage to pack even that much more of a proverbial Goetic punch! G De Laval is well known, but more importantly a well respected Author & Practitioner for a plethora of obvious reasons. A 9/10 on another book I see as an almost foundation type book of any occult library or collection and with an almost identical level of importance to the mind of the working practitioner.
