M.T.H.O.S. Paperback – February 25, 2008

This book is legitimate and opens up your eyes to different aspects of magick. It teaches how to perform basic abilities and these basic abilities will help you get better at what you do. It gives a large amount of info on the subject (Shape-shifting) and how it is scientifically possible. There are a few places that arehard to understand if you don't have a basic to intermediate education in the occult/esoteric.

This book is nothing more than a collection of either enticing fantasy or delusional ramblings. The former case is cruel, and the latter, potentially dangerous if actually taken seriously. Completely disregarding the fact that shapeshifting has been proven scientifically impossible, what shapeshifter in their right mind would divulge that kind of information? In the best case scenario, they would most likely be ostracized, and worst case, committed, if they were a danger to themselves or others. But, if it is possible, then I highly doubt other 'shapeshifters' would like their secrets shared. Or, the government might find you a very interesting and useful test subject. Either way, even to DIVULGE that information, if it was real, would be disastrous. This is furthermore compounded by the fact that, once again, shapeshifting is physically impossible. If you don't believe me, take a year of college level (or, even high school level) biology. Not only would it be profoundly obvious that it is in no way feasible, but you might learn something useful, rather than this garbage that is being peddled.Wraithe plays upon a very deep desire in people, which can range from wanting to be special to wanting to escape to actually believing you are spiritually an animal. This latter is called Therianthropy, a spiritual condition where an individual believes that they are entirely or in part, mentally or spiritually, an animal. Therianthropy is in no way a physical condition, and therians can not shapeshift. A wonderful place to find information on therianthropy is the Werelist. It is a very mature learning space with thoughtful and informed people. They can be very helpful, and are extremely willing and approachable. But please people, don't throw away your money, or give this con artist the satisfaction of scamming you.This deserves zero stars for the moral corruption and greed it spreads. Sadly, one star was the lowest rating.

Better than i thought it would be.Anyone looking for the truth about shifting in the corpreal plane should buy this.Blessed be to all!

First, the better version is now out and is called "Morphosephram Hardcore edition". It's much more complete and has better illustration.Notice that the negative comments are coming from members of the "therian" community and were posted close together. William's writings are not accepted by the therian community. However, news flash, he didn't write this book for the majority of the therian community, which in fact didn't exist before the internet. Take anything negative they say with a grain of salt as they have a very narrow view of anything outside their little group's accepted values and definitions of themselves. The roots of the practice of shape shifting go back to magical ritual, altered states of consciousness brought on by ritual and shamanistic practices that predate the dark ages. It's still practiced shamanistically in parts of the world. Eye witnesses report incredible things. The modern therian community would like you to believe that their definitions are the only ones that matter. They are only recently on the scene and tend to be a bit revisionist in their interpretation of therianthropy. The very word "therianthropy" denotes the change of humans into animals, not some sort of internalized, angsty "mental" wishful thinking. The therian community is kind of a "lycanthropy light". Tasteless, but less filling. That being said, on to the review.If the book's subject matter interests you, get a copy. It certainly won't hurt you to read it and make your own decisions. Being open minded and critical will help you suss out the truth for your own self without having to listen to someone else's interpretation of reality. The book is clear about the intentions of the writer from the beginning. It's not bunny fluff. It's a hard path to complete, it's definitely the left hand path, and it doesn't hold anything back.This is a book about the direct application of magical formula researched first hand by the author. Like Mr. Crowley and others, the author doesn't care what people think. He's simply providing information derived from his own experiences, in a format that can be understood and applied by someone that is willing to work hard and apply themselves. Having some background in the Goetia will certainly help. Not a beginner's book by any means. It's about shapeshifting, were-creatures and vampirism and the application of all three in your life. Read the cautions at the beginning before you decide on applying the methods.

Hate to rain on your parade, but the claims this author and that this book makes are completely false. I am a therianthrope (aka. a REAL werewolf). It is scientifically impossible to shapeshift. Anyone claiming otherwise is either a fraud or mentally unstable. This is not to say, however, that we don't exist. We do, but we cannot shapeshift. The term you need to be researching is Therianthropy. Therianthropy is a spiritual and/or mental situation in which a person identifies as a particular animal inside of a human body. If you are not born with Therianthropy, then there is no spell or charm to get it. You can't just decide to be one either. For further research and to talk with actual Therianthropes, I highly reccomend speaking with people on sites like The Werelist.Back to the book, it is not worth the paper it is printed on. If I could, I would have given it NO stars. Don't be duped into buying this in an effort to attain the impossible. Save your money and spend it on something useful.
