Grimorium Verum is one of the most notorious handbooks of black magic -- one of the few that deals openly with spirits of darkness. People have long sought the aid of non-physical beings; the biblical king Solomon in particular had a reputation since ancient times for commanding demons. There are many texts purporting to reveal Solomon's methods, but most are extremely complicated and difficult. Grimorium Verum is one of the easier texts, but also one of the most sinister. It includes a catalog of specific demons and how to draw on their powers. This new critical edition includes a fresh translation based on all the major sources, complete French and Italian texts, and 5 other appendices.

Originally written in 1517, the Grimorium Verum is an instruction manual for conjuring demons and casting spells. In addition to the original text of the book, this fully Illustrated edition features drawings of all 44 demons found within it. The introduction to the book takes a look at the process of creating the tools and using the book and its spells in modern times, and additional information on the spirits and their sigils is referenced from other grimoires such as the Grand Grimoire and Grimoire of Pope Honorius as well. This book will be of value to all serious students of witchcraft and the grimoire tradition.

Although it is often erroneously conflated with Renaissance era texts, the Grimorium Verum remains one of the most notorious books of magick ever written by man. Dating to the 18th century, its content has been both condemned and applauded for the power it holds. From astrological lore to folk magick, this work off dubious origin is one of the most diabolical works within the occult, and a must-read for all dark mages. 60 pages. Fully illustrated.

A witch's handbook from the trial records of the Venetian Inquisition. This grimoire, or handbook of magic, was confiscated by the Venetian Inquisition in 1636 from practicing witches. After decades of searching for this elusive text, I now have the pleasure of presenting and translating it here for the first time. It contains their secret techniques for dealing with the more dangerous spirits or daemons, intentionally scattered and hidden within a collection of "secrets" comprising many detailed examples. Together these provide enough clues to enable practitioners to create their own spells for working with all the spirits cataloged. It distinguishes itself as a supplement to the better known Clavicula or Key of Solomon; whereas that text focuses on aerial spirits, this one focuses on chthonic spirits. This text is one of the primary original sources for the popular Grimorium Verum.

The grimoire also contains a process of necromancy and a collection of spells. This is a comprehensive resource for scholars, occultists, practicing magicians, witches and wizards.

Our introduction contains notes on the various items used in the Grimoire, such as the herb Verbena, the Bloodstone, the Blasting Rod, and the Magic Circle. We have identified the actual items referenced in the Grimoire, which will be a significant leap in scholarship and magical practice, and we believe, give this grimoire a reestablished significance in occult circles. While numerous translations exist, as this book is in the public domain, we have not found any translations that have rigorously researched the terms and translated all parts of the content, from the interspersed Latin, Greek and the base French text. The authors are practicing magicians and researchers. From the Foreword by Baal Kadmon, "The beauty of this translation is not only its accuracy, but also that it is in a clear interlinear format. This provides the reader with the opportunity to see the original text, side-by-side with the English translation, something that does not exist in any other edition of this text. This alone is an invaluable benefit to the reader. However, this is not a mere translation of the text. It is also groundbreaking in its scholarship. For centuries, certain items mentioned in the text were a mystery. Aaman and Arundell were able to decipher them, which is a historic achievement unto itself.Due to the nature of The Grand Grimoire, accuracy should be of the utmost importance to any Magician and Sorcerer who wishes to delve into the secrets and powers of this text. You, the reader, can rest assured that this is by far the most accurate rendition of this text to-date.I am confident that this book will be referenced for many years to come. I know I will certainly refer to it time and time again as I further my own research on the subject of Solomonic Magic."
