I have been reading some past posts around Dante Abiel and how he ended up renouncing everything due to it destroying him. I am curious about reading his book, just to see what it was about. I am not interested in practicing Necromancy myself and don’t usually like to even think about death. However, some people have said just owning the book, let alone reading through it, is dangerous in itself. How much might be trying to just scare people away from it as opposed to genuine danger?

I have this book and have worked the rituals from it, and I been having my own conversation with the Akasha Subterfuge entity (which is a large and intelligent parasitic entity) from it. My journal in it has stalled out but it’s here.
No, just owning it isn’t dangerous. That sounds like a repetition of the witch hunt dogma that owning grimoires or just reading them curses you. Unfortunately working magick takes a bit more effort and skill than that, as everybody serious about practical magick finds out on their first spell.
In my opinion, speaking as an energy worker of the qigong variety, and long time “necromancer” if you want to call it that (I don’t, I think working with the dead is far much more than the limited tradition of “necromancy”), my main and only issue with the book is a basic misunderstanding of energy and the law of attraction.
What he seems to do is not “draw in death essence” - and imo there’s no such thing as death essence ime - but the energy of DECAY.
So if you breathe in the energy of decay, guess what, your body will decay. Like attracts like. You are imbalancing yourself, for really no reason except ignorance about what you’re actually doing energetically.
And that’s what happened to Dante - he was working from a position of complete newness to energy working with a parasite that be trusted and he followed it’s instructions to breathe in decay. He was absolutely right to sever that relationship in any way he could. Once he let it get embedded into his system, he wasn’t equipped to fix it any other way than to fall back on childhood powers.
So this book is really very interesting, and I really enjoy it myself, but it’s largely impractical for anyone without the foundational understanding of how to read between the lines and fix it’s issues to make it work.
In my opinion, the most interesting aspect of it IS the parasite the Akasha Subterfuge. I left off talking to it as it made a mistake in pretending to be a husband of mine from a past life. I didn’t tell it about that - it can read your mind to deep level very well - but like all lesser entities it lies to get it’s way.
I do believe him when he told me it was an Egyptian mage from about 6000 years ago that was turned vampire and it’s what led me to the Damien Echols video (in the link) about that, to help it explain itself - himself - to me, meaning it’s human and on the way to immortality in the Taoist sense.
Unfortunately his immortality is incomplete and that’s partly why he’s vampiric to humans - he’s retained his consciousness in astral form but his energy system isn’t strong enough to maintain his form without human qi. He’s working that. But he has many way to get energy and what he really wants from you is companionship and he’s kinda narcissistic about it - which is the other side of his vampiricism. I’m just not interested in being emotionally manipulated and I’m very over feeding narcissistic supply to the narcs in my life, so I took a break while I figured out if I believed any of it (some and some), and that was years ago and I forgot to pick it back up.
So t get back to the question…
I don’t think anyone is trying to “scare people away” - why would they?
I do think it’s not for the inexperienced. And I consider Dante was inexperienced - the blind leading the blind. You need to be able to read, understand and control your own energy system, first and foremost for not just this but all other modern grimoiric systems that have you messing with your energy. Then you can notice and fix issues as they arise, then adapt how you do it to make it work.
Bottom line just don’t breathe in rot. Decay is VERY alive. And it’s ravenous. Trillions of bacteria, worms and fungi explode in activity to devour a corpse, and the last thing you want is that energy rooting through your qi body for resonant energy of stagnation to consume.
I forget the rest but that’s a start.

I pathworked through this book for months, even living in remote desert ghost towns for weeks at a time while training.
Yeah, from the first page of reading this book the spirits and entities of this current were watching me, its probably the same with every reader of Abiel’s text.
I stand by these results and the above post. This current is for those who seek a spiritual path IN death. If you don’t want to viscerally experience death in the mental, spiritual, and physical planes this is not the right path.
Finally, I venerate Akasha-Subterfuge, and have immense respect for Him. Akasha-Subterfuge never vampirized me, and contributed much to my ascent. This is a profound spiritual path if you are willing to bear It’s burdens. It is wonderful.

As I said, I do not have an interest in pursuing this path, but want to read Dante’s story. Do you feel merely reading the book is dangerous?
No, not even a little bit.
