From the publisher's: "With Secrets of the Magickal Grimoires, scholar and magician Aaron Leitch has written a masterwork for novice and mage alike. This comprehensive reference manual is the only existing primer of the Renaissance grimoiric tradition. It has been designed to provide both an understandable and useful synthesis of the magickal material as well as a historically accurate context for the development of the grimoires. This groundbreaking guide examines Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy, The Key of Solomon, the Lemegaton, Dee's Enochian diaries, The Book of Abramelin, and several other classical texts. It compares the texts to one another, and then to other pagan and tribal cultural practices-reaching a conclusion that may surprise you. Using this newfound insight to the grimoires, the author presents innovative techniques that you can use for truly astounding results in your own magickal practice. Light shelf wear, but still a tight, bright and unmarked VG+ copy. Item #63567
