I liked this grimoire better than the petit albert, but I had already lowered my expectations. The difference between both, is that the petit albert contains recipes and the black pullet is the story of a French soldier who gets hurt near a pyramid during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt. An "ancient one" who lives in the pyramid saves his life and passes on all his knowledge: longevity, getting wealthy, control over spirits ... and it contains the necessary spells and drawings of amulets for doing so yourself.

This is the second grimoire I have read and probably the last one. What I was really looking for was a book that could provide some more background and historical context about grimoires.

It was cheap....otherwise, I bought it just to have it. After reading it, it was a remarkable story, but that's pretty much all.

An impenetrable proverb, or if you will, a fairy tale. As with many esoteric texts the truth is layered in analogy, making an argument for frequent reading or as the narrator exhorts, sustained persistence in purifying one’s intentions to be able to discern the meaning of the text and therefore be worthy of receiving its gifts.
Here is an essay on Elementals, Talismanic magic with (rather blurry) illustrations, allusions to sun worship and finally, instructions on the creation of the Black Pullet, a fortune finding hen.
A light fun read.

Interesting and entertaining at the same time.

You get the feeling of hidden secrets in the words. Allegorical or straight fact is for you to figure out. I found the whole thing highly intreguing. Well worth the read.

An odd little book with white magic and a slightly interesting concept of around magic book. Based on symbols with “magic” beliefs that go far back into King Solemans time. It’s a fun read with a choppy flow.

The Black Letter Press (2nd print) is the one I just read and it’s the best version I’ve come across. One of my favorite occult initiation stories.

A strange curious little book about a French soldier in Egypt who discovers that an ancient person is living in one of the pyramids!
A revered figure, he teaches the soldier all the secrets of magic, such as traveling great distances, commanding spirits and turning invisible. He does this with the use of Talismans. For those who are interested in magical grimoires, this is worth checking out.
Many cool images.

One of the 'disputed' grimoire's, I found this to be a fascinating work. The rituals and symbolism referenced within the text, along with the initiatory tale, prove to be both fascinating and workable.

For those able to make use of systems extending beyond the mainstream, such as those of Simon's Necronomicon, then there is some real value here.
