Modern Grimoire Magick: Folk Magick and The Solomonic Path
by Aaron J. Leitch
Picking up where his Secrets of the Magickal Grimoires leaves off, Aaron Leitch traces medieval European mysticism as it traveled to the New World. Leitch introduces the subjects of the "receipt-book," Amercian folk traditions and Afro-Cuban influences on modern occultism and provides links for further study. Finally, he explores the influence of these folk traditions upon the modern revival of classical Solomonic mysticism. The essay concludes with some practical tips for the modern sorcerer.



The Grimoirium Verum: A Lesser Solmonic Grimoire
by Samuel Scarborough
In this article Samuel Scarborough examines one of the lesser known grimoires of the Solomonic tradition, the Grimoirium Verum. We will see that this grimoire of ill-repute is just as effective and operable as the well known Greater Key of Solomon the King.
