Hi Adam,,
I have purchased six paper copies and three ebooks, Most Enlightening Books thks,!
Adam have you personally or any GOM member tried to bind or contact a JINN to do ones bidding or have GOM ever considered writing a book on the JINN?
I would imagine any person(s) who would like to dive more deeply into dark Magick or deeper into the more demonic work certainly would appreciate your input, and any experience you and other members of GOM have about the JINN..
Thks.
TP
Thanks so much, and thanks for your interest in that subject. There are some subjects that, for complex reasons, we may or may not cover in book form, and that’s one of them. Which means I’m not meant to say anything other than, well, you can probably guess that we have some experience between us. But whether or not there will be a book – we will have to wait, and it would be some years away, I’m afraid. I hope the books you have turn out well for you. 🙂
Hi G.O.M
I am now working with several of the books from your collection: Magical Servitors, 72 Sigils of Power, Sigils of Power and Transformation. I Intend to create a Servitor this week but is this alright if I am doing the magic from 72 Sigils of Power and Sigils of Power and …?
Is it safe to make more than one Servitor working for different parts of your life all in operation at the same time ? Also if you have more than one servitor working at the same time if one plays up and becomes problematic how will you know which one it is?
I also need to ask a question for a friend of mine whom like myself has been the victim of old ancestor curses as well as modern jealousy curses. She is a lady in her fifties whom when she was a small child her clothing was buried in a graveyard by a nasty relative. She had a lot of horrible curses put on her, ruining her career and work life but over the last five years at least a spirit has possessed her body.
This thing has taken most of her strength making it impossible for her to have any real quality of life. She feels it moving around inside of her all the time and it interrupts her sleep so she has sleepless nights, and when she does sleep she has freighting nightmares.
She has been repeatedly ripped off by so called spiritualist claiming to break witchcraft and other curses. The say they can remove it but instead waste her time and fleece everything she has, we are talking thousands.
My question is with all the knowledge that you all possess and all your spiritual abilities and insights is there anything you can advise to free this lady of this terrible curse? She had been told by some that it is a dangerous job to free her of this spirit both for them and for her but is it possible to help her without harm to anyone. Also she is now struggling financially so what can she do that can make a difference without costing the earth? Are you familiar with African and Caribbean obeah…? These are some of the worst dark magic practises in the world, truly horrific!
Thanks
Hi Viveen. Yes, I know what you mean and think what we have can work, but need to answer this at length. Taking a couple of days out of town, so will reply when I get back. Cheers, AB. Regarding servitors, they don’t play up when used with this method IMHO – if it’s used to the letter. And yes, some people make multi-use servitors, but they are often a bit weak – unless it’s like, ‘bring a bit of extra luck to each endeavour’. That can work. But one that you use for money, for protection, for better sleep – that can get all watered down.
More soon! AB.
Yes, people will fleece you in situations like this. Horrible. I am familiar with the styles/of magick you talk about. I do not believe that it is dangerous to fight a curse or banish a spirit – I believe this is superstition or a power-play by those with a vested interest. And yes, I have seen the magick in Magickal Protection work very well. But it would be ideal if she were to do the magick for herself. Not vital, but the best way to go about it. The first step is to get past the belief that it’s unbeatable. It simply isn’t, and although the style of magick in Damon’s book is very far from African magick, I have seen it work against such curses over and over again. There’s quite a lot in that book that could be used. However, I have also met people who are suffering in similar situations and the answer was more psychological than magickal – I genuinely do not mean to be insulting, and never want to say, ‘Hey, your friend is crazy, it’s not a curse’, because it would be rude, and we are here, after all, because we believe in magick, and magick far more dramatic than many would believe – and because I’ve seen people who thought they were crazy, but all they needed was a curse removed. So I am on your side here! But in situations like this, when I’m personally involved I do encourage people to get other kinds of help, to make sure there’s nothing psychological that’s underlying or maintaining the problem. Even simple CBT (which doesn’t wok for everything) can help people to get around curses that feel real even though their power faded years before. Such work is not free, and the self-help books aren’t great, but it may be worth thinking about. But if you’re 100% certain it’s a curse, then fight it as a curse. If you know who did it, you can use Magickal Attack to weaken them, and put up ongoing protection. Also, not everybody agrees with me on this, but any spirit that appears to inhabit a person is never truly inhabiting it, but is held there by other forces, such as curse. Break that curse, and there doesn’t need to be a grand exorcism. The spirit just loses the ability to exist in that way.
Hi Adam
Thank you for your response! To answer a few queries you mentioned, I, too have wondered about her mental state and have confronted her on the issue. However, she is sure that what is happening is spiritual. she informed that when she does any kind of banishing prayers (given to her by spiritualist church(s) ) the spirit becomes restless and reacts but does not leave. So I have to take her word for it. She is also quiet weak and depressed I do not know if she could do anything for herself, unless it is something as simple as the books mentioned. I really want to help her but I do not want to do a ritual on her behalf as I fear this is risky. Therefore, I will purchase a couple of the ‘Magical Protection’ book you mentioned and send one on to to her with any advice you give me.
I would also like to know for both this lady and my behalf, do you know how to remove your essence from items such as photographs and clothing. Mostly, because this lady’s curse may be coming from a woman who got a hold of her underwear when they were girls. Unfortunately, she did not listen to her parents when they warned her about allowing friends into the bedroom and as a result a jealousy spell was done against her. The woman who did this is a problem till today but I do not know if she is the one responsible for the spirit possession!
I too am in a situation where a jealousy spell was placed against me and I have fought for years to rid myself of it. Unfortunately, every time I get rid of it and think I am back to normal the problem comes back. I just want to break the spell permanently and move on. What can I do? The Magical Protection book that you mentioned can it deal with this nuisance or is there another one? At the moment I am working with’ 72 Sigils…’ by Zanna Blaise and your ‘Sigils of Power and …’ is there anything in those to I can do to combat this problem.
I am also wondering is it normal to get sleepy and overwhelmed when working with the two books mentioned? I am energy sensitive and I can feel the power of the books before I even open them the problem is I have literally had to stop and take a nap in between. Am I being overwhelmed because I tend to have the books out together or should I just ground beforehand? My daughter reminded me I should be wearing my black and brown crystals to keep me grounded. I also drank water before starting the work the other day and that kept me awake, do you have any suggestions because drinking water makes me want to go to the bathroom after a short while.
By the way I have decided to put my fears aside and start using the Words of Power by Damon Brand. My theory is because I am already dealing with negative entities sent against me, I might as well take back the power and put some of my own choice at work on my behalf.
Finally, can a negative thought popping into your head during a ritual cause a negative outcome? When I get negative thoughts I tend to fight them with mind chatter stating what my intent is, will everything be alright?
Thank your for your advise, sorry about the length of my questions.
Hi Adam and G.O.M
Thank you for your response, by the way I have already replied to your response but it is not showing so just incase, I will try and give another one. OR did you remove it, if you have I am sorry if I caused some kind of offence. Please let me know if you have.
Anyway I must continue just incase! My friend informed me that her problem is not mental in any way when I have asked her in the past.She says that when she does power banishing prayers (given to her by a spiritualist church) the spirit reacts, by shuffling around and becoming restless but it does not leave. I am not sure what kind of possession this is but I know that she was cursed by a jealous friend when they were girls. Despite being warned by her parents not to let anyone into her bedroom she allowed this girl access and as a result this girl took some of her underwear. She later discovered the things were missing. Until this day as women the spells continue. This woman gives her threatening looks whenever she sees my friend as though she is surprise that she is still alive. I do not know if she is behind this particular problem or if it curses from the old country, Jamaica. I do know that she is weak and depressed and probably can not perform a ritual for herself, partly because she too ill and because she does not believe anything can be done anymore. Please do not ask me to perform one for her I simply cannot take the risk. I will however, purchase whatever book you suggest i.e Magical Protection and give any advice you may give. Maybe if there was a simple removal ritual sigil or something that does not require a huge effort she could perform it.
I would like to know if there is anything to remove my essence from photographs and clothing etc etc…I too am fighting a old jealously spell place on me some years ago. I have done many spells to break it and it does go away for a while, but then it comes back and I am absolutely fed up with it. I want it gone once and for all. I have your book Sigils of Power and… and Zanna Blaise 72 Sigils of power. I have been using them for various things but, can any particular sigil do this or are these Sigils created for easy use and basic needs? I also need to know if it is normal to feel incredibly sleepy with intense pressure on my neck when working with these books. I found my self taking a nap in between rituals.I am energy sensitive and feel the power of these books even before I open them to start use. Is this because I tend to work with them one after the other so I keep them together. I had a glass of water between books the other day and that helped but this causes me to want the bathroom often. My daughter advised me to wear my black and brown crystals to ground me as this feeling can be cause by not grounding. What do you think and advise?
I also have the urge to start working with my first book from G.O.M ‘Words of Power’ by Damon Brand. I was afraid of this book before and hid it away but these past few days I have taken it out and began reading it. Is this the magic of the other two books working? or is it all me?
Like before I do apologise for my long blogs but there is a lot to say and ask.
I am grateful, and do look forward to your response.
Hi. Nothing was removed – the moment box should say “Comments and replies may take some time to appear.”, and so you posted twice.
Given what you say, it might be quite difficult, because what I’d personally do is go on the attack at the same time as protecting. But if she doesn’t have the energy then whatever protection she can do will help. The normal advice is to do the 33-day protection ritual, and then add in The Sword Banishing and rituals to remove curses etc. But if that’s all too much just go for The Sword Banishing. It is very easy, and can be done in minutes. It is one of the most powerful rituals, despite its ease, and it’s important to know this before going into it. There is no need to ‘aim’ it at the spirit, or any problem, but if she performs it twice a day, there should be changes.
For your situation, I’d recommend the same advice. It shields you from magick old and new. If you can do more protection, so much the better. With the books you have, there are many in the Protection Magick section of Sigils of Power than can help – trust your intuition. Zanna’s book is good for supporting you through all this, but again, be guided by what you sense will help you. It’l be better than my guesswork. The magick in both books is simple, but not basic – indeed the magick in Sigils of Power can seem slight, but it amongst the most powerful stuff we’ve put out there.
Tiredness does get to some people. You can read about it here; https://galleryofmagick.com/2015/07/21/a-touch-of-the-supernatural/
The other books could have opened you up, yeah, but do wait until you feel safe. Words of Power is as safe as magick gets. Read the FAQ for more details. It just can’t be harmful in my opinion, but I think if you feel edgy about magick, it’s better to wait.

Hi Adam
Thank you so much for you honest responses.
Furthermore, to the discussion concerning the Magickal Protection book by the G o M. I have just started studying the rituals and I have a few questions before beginning. If negative thought-forms and negative mind voices pop into your head whilst requesting help from the angels, will the angels act out the negative thoughts and voices? I am quiet good at visualisation but I sometimes struggle with negative images and voice popping into the process, could it be a spirit of hindrance ?
Will the angels know what my true desires are and ignore the negatives?
I know the G o M put safety measures in place but will these measures prevent angels (who are very powerful beings) acting out bad (negative thoughts/voices) influences?
Also why do you have to call the four angels everyday once the activation is done?
What will happen if you do not call them?
I also read that the angel YOHACH, is linked to Psalms 91 in the line 11 ‘ For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.’ This is ironic as I read this Psalm often to prevent spiritual attacks and I have always notices this particular line! Do you think reading this Psalm already generated the power YOHACH and the others?
Any answers you give I am passing on to the lady I informed you about in my previous comments. I need her to feel safe to do the rituals as I am sharing this advice with her.
Look forward to your response.
So long as you know what you intended, the angels will know. Stray thoughts are never strong or consistent enough to overrule your main thought and feeling. Go into it with the confidence that it will be ok, rather than the fear that there may be a negative outcome and your mind might be less prone to stray. But it’s all ok – you know what you mean and want, and the angels work with that. They are intelligent and will not latch onto a stray thought or image.
The Sword Banishing is a banishing you do daily. Some banishing and workings are long term – this one relies on repeated use, daily or twice daily. Some use it less often, but best results are from once or twice a day.
If you don’t call them, nothing will happen – but that’s all. It just means the protection is no longer in place. You can restart it at any time without the activation by doing the ritual. Many people manage to complete this ritual in ten or fifteen seconds, so it’s not a huge commitment, even if done daily.
Psalms do have innate power which may be linked to these angels, but it’s beyond the scope of what we can talk about here to go into the theory. It is certainly true, however, that angels work in many ways – unseens, as a side-effect of another process (such as reading a Psalm), and when called directly.
Cheers. AB.
Adam, thanks so much for you and your team. I think your magickal servitors have worked to increase your book sales because we have purchased all but 3 or so of your books so far.. lol. Well I wanted to ask a few questions that I hope you can assist with.
Hopefully these are not redundant…
A) Is Corwin Hargrove one of the members of the gallery of magick?
B) I am looking to work with the goetia, do you have any formats, invocations etc that
can be used to work with those spirits in any of your books. Most of what I have read seems to be very ritualistic and kind of outdated in regards to connecting with those spirits and I feel intuitively that there must be an easier way, ANY insight would be welcomed.
C) Also the exercise that you have given in ” Wealth Magick” that allows you to absorb a sigil within you… Can it be used to absorb any sigil? Like sigils form Chaos Magick, any of the angelic sigils or something that you personally create, etc?
Hi David. Ha, thanks for buying the books – I promise there’s no magick there compelling you to buy. Our real concern is that the books go to those who are drawn to magick! But I think you were joking. 😉
A) No. All Gallery authors are listed on the About page along with their books. I think the author you mentioned has acknowledged our influence, and you can see it in the style and design and the overall simplification. However, the extensive level of ‘planetary timing’ in that book sets it apart from The Gallery. Most of our magick can be done any time – although sometimes we say, ‘Best on Saturday night,’ or something like that, but it’s not timed to the hour.
B) Magickal Attack contains a bit of this, but the demonic sigils in that book including a smudging of the divine words which means they are tuned to attack only – they’re not general purpose. And there’s only a few of them. For a more general approach to demonic work, keep your eyes open around June or July. (Or subscribe to this site or the Facebook page, to get updates.)
C) Yes, The Image Fire tech can be used as a way to charge or absorb other sigils. Works very well with personally created sigils, and things like that. There’s a bit of debate about using it on other sigils, because it is a way of really taking the sigil within you, so it is best when you’re working with something fairly long term, rather than a quick afternoon ritual that you do once for a fast result.
