I am wondering what exactly this grimoire is, who wrote it, and where I can get a copy.
Does anyone have a copy and, if so, where can i get one?
Also, does anyone have any experience with this grimoire? If so, what can we expect from it?
The grimoire is a list of spirits from H.P. Lovecraft's mythos with instructions on working with them. The book is listed with an introduction by John Dee and, according to the book's mythos, was a book in his library originally written by the infamous Abd Al-Hazred; though the real author's name escapes me at the moment, it was written in modern times (fairly recently.) You can download a copy from Sacred-Magick's extensive library or you can hunt one down via google or another search engine. I have yet to see a copy in print other than one which appeared to be handwritten and was being sold on ebay (copied from the pdf edition I speculate.)
The best way that I can describe the book is Lovecraftian magick meets Grimoire of Armadel. Over all, the person who put it together did a good job.
Some text from the book's introduction:
"The book attracts many demons to it, even now they will be watching you, invisible. I
urge that you pray that they are gone and banish each time you turn a page, otherwise you
may find yourself overcome by them, which would doubtlessly mean madness and death."
If that is not enough to get your mindset where it needs to be to work with these types of grimoires, I do not know what is! (IMG:
