Product Description Incorporating a magical vocabulary and nightside symbolism, IJYNX is a unique collection of occult prose-poems by an author who has been studying, experimenting, and writing about the western esoteric tradition for over twenty years. While some of the mystical verses attempt to convey ritually-machined hyperdimensions of consciousness (including encounters with the transmundane entities that inhabit these parallel continua), others contain, rather inexplicably, detailed knowledge of a higher Arcanum involving the alchemical entelechy of the dead. And still others challenge even the author's initiated interpretation of things perceived in the ontological spectrum of a 'Magizoth', other than to suggest, upon a closer examination of the cryptic word play, that they are anti-apotropaic in nature, and offer, at the very least, rare fleeting glimpses of the Grand Dreaming of a Treasured Eye.

Maddeningly Enchanting...August 10, 2008 Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I just receiced a copy of Blair MacKenzie Blake's book IJYNX & am thoroughly impressed with it. It is a collection of hypnotic Burroughsesque poetry with a Thelemic tinge that opens with quotes from Crowley's Liber CCXX & Liber LI(the source for the title of the book)...the focus of the poems seem, for the most part, to concentrate on the use of sex magick to induce(or harness) endrogenous production of certain psychotropic alkaloids - of coarse, he could be using the obscure subject of 'sex magick' to explain the even more obscure techniques of engrogenous tryptamine production - either way, I highly recommend it.

Mr. Blakes IJYNX is as ingenious and as complex as the title of the book. A satanic sonnet filled mystery that is as engaging asit is thoughtful. Some lines are as beautiful as thoughts inthe rain. Others are as dark as a knife's promise.
Being a horror author myself with four novels under me,Im always perplxed by articulation of others words. Mr.Blake has truly opened my mind. I found out through the "TOOL" website ( best band in the world) that this book was available. Low and behold, not is this only available, but answers many riddles to the soul and skull.
I recomend this book to all my fans and friends....
