What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Lecouteux is a genius. I have been gratefully following his research–which provides information I have never found in other locations–for years. As someone who has seen no small amount of grimoires, I can attest to the practical as well as scholarly nature of this book. Whether you are hunting for healing charms or just trying to find out more about the history of grimoires, this work will not disappoint you. Lecouteux’s brilliant observations are the icing on the cake for this amalgamation of various works, outlining workable incantations and valuable lost techniques. I was particularly pleased to find a list of Solomon’s demons with their diseases and remedies within the pages. This book is a serious contribution to occult work and a joy to read.” * Maja D’Aoust, White Witch of L.A., astrologer, counselor, and coauthor of The Secret Source *
“A grimoire is a textbook of magic that typically include instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets, how to perform magic spells, charms, and divination, and how to summon the dead or supernatural spirits. This book is a far-reaching study of magical books and shares the techniques and instructions mentioned above. The book is well documented and extensive, though not exhaustive. It isn’t really for the novice but one with a deep interest in magical arts.” * David H., Book Bargains, February 2014 *
