It is also held within the corpus of sabbatic current crafters that the Azotia is never to be copied. A.D. Chumbley is said to have set a demon therein.
I had for a short time a signed first edition of the book. I can tell you that it does have a strange feel and it was with mixed emotion that I gave the book back to my friend.
It is not a book for any pilgrim unless he/she has a pretty good understanding of ethos/mythos and lore of the Arte Magickal.

Well. I was referring to Liber Falxifer, though I would also appreciate perusing The Azoetia; maybe even moreso. Certainly something that I intend to acquire for my (currently rather diminutive) library at some point in the future. Though I heed your words of wisdom.

So I rather ask then read it and find out if the risk is real.

Wise choice, however, I do not think you have to worry. As the book goes on to explain, the curse is for those of "Adam." Or in other words, those who are blind followers of Yahweh. I am assuming by your interest in such a book, you are not of this following

And just who gets to make that decision?

Unfortunately, I probably won't be charged with that duty.

Ah, well if you are looking to play and not just read, then that is a different story. My educated guess is that you would not see fruition of the curse if you READ the book. As the curse is directed as those who read it.

However, I would think that there could certainly be negative effects if someone who is inexperienced and ignorant chose to 'dabble' with the magickal techniques listed in the book. Most of the works are very complicated as it is, and require a lot of time, skill, and dirty work. It is not something one should attempt unless they have complete confidence.

I've been thinking of getting rid of it but for many reasons I won't do so as of now. I know if I sell it or auction it off online I could make a profit yet like it has been said, this book is not just for any one. Is there a way to contact the spirit so I can ask it directly who it should go to?

I'm sure that there must be, although I don't know for sure how and it seems inappropriate for me to speculate. However, if you sell it on ebay, you could require a contact email from the buyer before selling it. If you get an email that says something like "Hi, I'm a 13 year old Wiccan and I want your book," then...you know. But contacting the spirit would be a concrete way to know for sure.

As of right now, I will not be using the rituals in the book either. It seems wise to have two or more experienced people working on them together. Currently I am only solo.

I work with the book and I can tell you that instead of making up ridicules crap about demons in the book, black metal, suicide etc. you should just read and reread the book and if you do not feel a calling from this specific aspect of Cain you should just let the book go to someone else.

If you feel called to Work within the tradition, without any profane motivations like wanting to pose about it in forums or tell everybody about what you are doing, then just work it and the blessings you earn will lead you further in upon the path, that is if you really are meant for it.

The curse is on the "defilers of the work/the cult".

Well said! One *will* know whether or not they are meant for this Path/Work. Has the Spirit of *this* Liber 'called' you?

As for myself, I would not trade *my* Necromantic Practice for any other.

I started reading the book myself not so long ago and I must say that even though they present this topic in a very interesting way, I still don't see the aspect of death as an entity. For me, death is an element of life (Ironically enough).
Death is everywhere and in everything. I don't see how you can take something as vast as death and relate it to one divine figure.

But again, it's only from my perspective.

However, I can't promise you of its genuinity. You will have to be the judge for yourself in this case. I, for one, would suggest keeping away from such benelovent methods and rites. Well, thats just a personal opinion. :-)
