Secrets of the Magickal Grimoires

A practical and historical guide to the Solomonic grimoires that reads them through the shamanic and religious context in which they were produced. Leitch explains the magician's purification, the timing of operations, the making of tools, robes and pentacles, the circle and the conjuration of spirits, drawing on the Key of Solomon, Abramelin, the Goetia and other texts. Widely used by modern practitioners as an orientation to working directly from the classical sources.
