"PANDEMONIUM is truly a first of its kind, and a necessity for the further development of traditional magic in a modern context. While not intended to be the last word, it opens up territory that demands further examination. It starts with the first English translation of a major spirit catalogue and ends with an appendix redefining 'traditional' grimoirists. Sandwiched between these is a comparative survey of several important spirit catalogues, which is much more than 'a dictionary of demons'. Totally geared to emergent practice, leading us away from the prevalent focus on 'tools and rules', authors and manuscripts, towards a developing relationship with the dramatis personae essential to the whole tradition."

《PANDEMONIUM》实属首创，是传统魔法在现代语境下进一步发展的必要之作。虽然并非最终定论，但它开辟了值得进一步探究的领域。本书以一本重要灵体目录的首次英译本开篇，并以重新定义“传统”魔法师的附录收尾。其间夹杂着对几本重要灵体目录的比较综述，远不止是一本“恶魔词典”。本书完全面向新兴实践，引领我们摆脱对“工具与规则”、作者与手稿的普遍关注，转向与整个传统中至关重要的“戏剧人物”建立联系。
