One of the foremost occult classics on ceremonial magic. The book sets out to provide a methodical survey of the practice of ritual magic, based on the original texts found in rare medieval book and manuscript grimoires, many of which were all but unprocurable, and had to be translated from a number of different languages. It is in two main parts, the first, ‘The Literature of Ceremonial Magic,’ looks at the history of ritual magic, and provides studies and excerpts from the most important medieval magical texts, including the famous texts of black magic The Grimoire of Honorius, The Black Pullet, etc. etc. The Second ‘Forms a complete Grimoire of Black Magic,’ and includes chapters on ‘The Preparation of the Operator, the Initial Rites and Ceremonies’, ‘The Mysteries of Goetic Theurgy According to the Lesser Key of Solomon the King,’ and ‘The Mysteries of Infernal Evocation According to the Grand Grimoire,’ etc.
