Solomonic Magic & the Grimoires

The Galdrabók

An Icelandic Grimoire

by Stephen E. Flowers · Stephen E. Flowers (trans. & ed.)

A translation of the Galdrabók, a sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Icelandic book of magical staves and spells, together with related Icelandic material. It mixes runic and Norse elements with Christian prayers and Solomonic and demonic names, showing how continental grimoire magic merged with local tradition. Flowers provides the original texts, illustrations of the staves and an introduction to Icelandic sorcery and its legal prosecution.
