Grimoire magick

A branch of magick taken largely from Grimoires, or old books of spells from the simple to the very complicated. Classic grimoires include:

• The Book of the Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage[?]
• The Grand Grimoire
• The Sworn Book of Pope Honorius
• Grimoirium Verum
• The Key of Solomon
• The Lesser Key of Solomon

Some of these books have fallen to the wayside as more-or-less uninformative collections of cantrips. Others, particularly the lesser key and Abramelin[?], have become fundamental components of magickal practice and philosophy, particularly Thelema and Satanism.
