After his highly-acclaimed first book, Draugadróttinn: Lord of the Undead, author N.D Blackwood returns back from the elder-temple caves to explore Initiatic Vampirism through his new grimoire, Scholomance: Order of the Dragon. The true essence of Vampirism is the initiatory imperative to shapeshift forms to transcend the physical body, and to immortalize the soul with ritual techniques never revealed before Scholomance. The Path of the Dragon is an experiential and explorative path where the adept focuses on traversing astral temples and the great void. This opens a nexus between the Adept and Drakul, the Vampiric forces of the Nightside. The book is a must for all those interested in the mysteries of Vampirism from an initiatory basis, astral workings, evocations, rituals, and its use for a daily basic process. I strongly recommend this pioneering grimoire by N.D. Blackwood.
