The Book of Grimoires: The Secret Grammar of Magic

Parisian professor of the medieval literature and civilization at the Sorbonne, Claude Lecouteux shares with us the wisdom of magical and occult texts. Drawing from on his extensive collection of grimoires and manuscripts, he offers a deep dive the cryptic nature of these works and historical explanations as to why these magical practices were occult, in the secretive sense of the word. Through these explanations, the reader will glean the history of how these practices blended with other existing pagan practices of the time, and would further mix with Christian influence, enlightening the reader on the Western mystical tradition.
