The 83 Demons of Saturn by David Mllr, author of the previously published book Satvrnvs Lvcifer Codex (2021).
Aeon Sophia Press is proud to announce the second book by the author, artist and musician David Mllr. With this brand new offering the author presents to us 83 archetypes of Saturn’s moons, organizing and classifying them to be able to work with them. In this book the author covers the first 27 moons related to Greek mythology.
While the author stays within the realm of Saturn, with his new book he takes a step further in a new direction in terms of subject matter and writing style. This book presents a thoroughly researched work and each archetype and/or demon is very well described with its corresponding tarot card illustrations and invocations mantras.
According to the author: These entities were baptized under the name of The Demons of Saturn. They are demons because they act as agents of chaos, creating storms and tempests. They work directly in the darkest aspects of the Self. Using Saturn’s moons as a way to explore and work our subconscious is an effective and unique method of approaching personal growth. The shadow refers to those aspects of oneself that are denied or repressed, and working with this can help release limiting patterns of thought and behavior.
Assigning an Archetype to each Saturn moon and exploring how the archetype manifests in your life can give you a different perspective on yourself and help you better understand your strengths and weaknesses.
Through the ritual practice of invoking the archetype or demon, following the established sheme, mantras and incenses, we can create the necessary atmosphere to allow us to make changes and modifications in our subconcious. This system uses classical Saturnian ceremonial magick techniques with a Left-Hand Path approach where demons and dark energies are invoked, working with deep aspects of the psyche.
Book specifications:
Synopsis of The 83 Demons of Saturn.
Beneath the purple veils of starry nights, Saturn rises in the firmament like an enigmatic beacon, with its dazzling rings and its 83 moons, each of which harbors deep secrets in its shadows. “The 83 Demons of Saturn” is a master key that introduces us to a Saturnian gnosis, thus opening access to the unfathomable mysteries of this mysterious planet and its satellites.
The excitement I had upon receiving the first installment of the "83 Demons of Saturn" quickly evaporated and turned to disappointment as I skimmed the pages.
The prose is a combination of turgid and sophomoric. The very first sentence of the introduction has a typo, and it's far from the only example. There are mistakes and typesetting issues throughout the text.
All I can say is that I am relieved that I didn't splurge on the deluxe edition--if I had I would have been furious rather than irritated. Aeon Sophia Press clearly needs to hire better content and copy editors for their publications.
Will I purchase the next two volumes? Probably, despite the overly dramatic and often puerile writing. It's a solid idea and novel exploration of the various qualities of Saturn, but the execution both in terms of writing and presentation leave a lot to be desired. Illustrations are undeniably gorgeous, however.
