The True Grimoire

by Anonymous, Denise Alvarado

Serious students of conjure will be delighted with this fresh presentation of the lesser known Solomonic grimoire, the True Grimoire, or Grimorium Verum. The True Grimoire is one of the most notorious handbooks on Black magic that contains the hidden occult secrets of the biblical king Solomon. Inside this grimoire are descriptions of specific demons, instructions for conjuring them, drawing on their powers, and dismissing them. The specific seals associated with each demon are provided and can be used in ceremonial magick applications or can be used as power seals by practitioners of hoodoo and rootwork. As one of Planet Voodoo's Classic Hoodoo Reference Series, this edition of The True Grimoire contains illustrations derived from manuscripts from the 18th century and earlier, and are provided to complement the text and provide visual interest. About Planet Voodoo's Classic Hoodoo Reference A major influence on hoodoo is the European grimoires. While the rites contained in the grimoires themselves were adapted by ceremonial magicians, hoodoos borrowed the seals, talismans, and sigils from the grimoires, using them as well as the use of power words and magick squares in their rootwork.The serious student of hoodoo will be interested in the classic grimoires and texts that have substantially influenced hoodoo. Planet Voodoo's Classic Hoodoo Reference Series is proud to present a number of these grimoires and related texts that have been lightly edited for clarity and grammatical errors, but retain all of the original content so as to preserve their historical and folkloric value.
