Grimoires

The Witches' Sabbath, 1797-98, by Francisco de Goya . . . — Buy this art print at AllPosters.com.

From grammarye or grammar, as magic was in times past closely connected to the accurate usage of language, it is a general name given to a variety of texts setting out the names of demons, along with instructions for raising them to do the bidding of the magician or 'operator'.

Simply put, grimoires are detailed books of conjurations, charms, magic rituals and spells, usually providing instructions on how to make magical objects such as protective amulets and talismans, and often invoking spirit entities and/or demons.

The Grimorium Verum lists seventeen of the names and characters of such spirits, each with its own particular field of interest: for example, Glauneck, who has power over riches and hidden treasures; Bechard, who has power over winds and tempests, and so on.

An Old English Cottage Woman is Accused of Witchcraft by Fellow Villagers, by H.g. Glindoni . . . — Buy this art print at AllPosters.com

The Lesser Key of Solomon gives the names and symbols for seventy-two spirits. For example, Agares is a duke who rides a crocodile and carries a goshawk on his wrist; his main function is to stop runaways, teach languages, destroy spiritual and temporal dignities, and to cause earthquakes. Behemoth is a demon concerned with the pleasures of the belly. Sytry is a great prince with a leopard's head; his function is to procure sex or love for the magician. Bune is a powerful duke with the heads of dog, griffin and man; his function is to change the place of burials and to answer all questions put to him by the magician. Astaroth is a powerful duke, appearing in the guise of an angel or a dragon, with a viper in his right hand. The magician must not permit him to approach because of the stench of his breath, and must protect himself with a special magical ring. Astaroth will answer truthfully about all manner of past, present and future questions. Similar grimoires are the Grand Grimoire, the Heptameron, the Enchiridium, the Grimorium Verum, the Grimoire of Honorius, the Galdrabok and the Key of Solomon.
