The occult refers to a large number of esoteric practices that were quite secretive and underground. Hence why its called the occult. Occult literature tends to be very cryptic and have deep esoteric meanings. Here I'll tell you about these strange and facinating works that started in the middle ages but still continue to be written till this day

The Grimorian Verum

📜 Grimorium Verum – Summary

The Grimorian verum delved into pact ritual and is the source where the sigil of Lucifer comes from. It also explains how to enter into a pact with him as well. 

🔹 1. Overview

• Title: Grimorium Verum (“The True Grimoire”)

• Language: Originally French (first printed around 18th century, though it claims to date from 1517).

• Attributed author: Alibeck the Egyptian of Memphis — likely a pseudonym.

• Genre: Grimoire — a manual of ceremonial magic and spirit conjuration.

It’s part of the “Goetic” tradition, related to works like the Lesser Key of Solomon (Ars Goetia), but more direct and practical in tone.

🔹 2. Purpose

The Grimorium Verum claims to teach:

• How to summon and command spirits or demons to obtain worldly results (knowledge, power, wealth, love, etc.).

• How to construct magical tools and seals to aid in this communication.

• How to bind or constrain spirits rather than worship them.

Its worldview assumes a hierarchical spirit world, governed ultimately by God, but accessible through magical ritual.

🔹 3. Structure

The grimoire is usually divided into three parts:

1. Book I:

   • Philosophical introduction on the nature of spirits.

   • Explanation of planetary and elemental correspondences.

   • Descriptions of divine names and conjurations.

2. Book II:

   • Detailed hierarchy of infernal spirits, especially three primary rulers:

     • Lucifer (emperor of the East)

     • Beelzebuth (prince of the West)

     • Astaroth (duke of the South)

   • Lists of subordinate spirits, their offices, and seals (sigils).

3. Book III:

   • Practical instructions for working with these entities.

   • Ritual tools (wand, parchment, knife, blood ink, etc.).

   • Conjurations, pacts, and protective prayers.

   • Timing rules (astrological hours, moon phases, etc.).

🔹 4. Key Ideas & Themes

• Dual framework: The magician must acknowledge the divine order (God’s authority) but use it to command infernal beings.

• Spirit hierarchy: Demons are bureaucratically organized, each ruling over certain powers or knowledge.

• Necromantic tone: It’s more openly “infernal” than many other grimoires, hence its reputation for dark magic.

• Practical magic: Includes spells for invisibility, love, wealth, favor, and discovery of hidden things.

🔹 5. Historical Context & Influence

• Circulated in France and Italy during the 18th–19th centuries among occultists and folk magicians.

• Later studied by Éliphas Lévi, Arthur Edward Waite, and Joseph H. Peterson.

• Influenced modern demonology and ceremonial magic (including parts of chaos and Left-Hand Path traditions).

• Despite its infernal imagery, it’s primarily a manual of ritual structure and symbolism, not a text advocating harm or worship of evil.

🕯️ 6. Modern Interpretation

Today, occult scholars and practitioners often view it as:

• A historical artifact showing how early modern magicians codified spirit practices.

• A symbolic text about psychological empowerment and shadow integration.

• A sourcebook for understanding demonological hierarchies in the Western esoteric tradition.

 

Lemegeton 

The Lemegeton is the most famous collection of grimoires. 

🔹 1. Overview​

• Language: English (compiled from earlier Latin manuscripts).

• Date: Probably mid-17th century, though it draws on material from much older medieval and Renaissance texts.

• Attributed author: Traditionally King Solomon, but actually a compilation by anonymous magicians drawing on Solomonic legend.

• Genre: Grimoire — a manual of ritual and ceremonial magic.

It is one of the most influential occult texts in Western esotericism, forming the backbone of later ceremonial and “Goetic” traditions.

🔹 2. Structure

The Lemegeton consists of five books, each dealing with different classes of spirits and methods of summoning or commanding them:

BookTitleFocus

 

I. Ars Goetia

 

72 infernal spirits supposedly bound by King Solomon.Descriptions, seals (sigils), ranks, and powers of each spirit. This grimoire practices the art of commanding and binding demons within artifacts. Each demon has a detailed description of its appearance and things they can do for you. 

 

II. Ars Theurgia-Goetia

 

Spirits of the four cardinal directions (aerial or elemental).Commands and seals for their invocation. This grimoirehas very chaotic sigils and little instruction. 

 

III. Ars Paulina

 

Spirits of the hours of day and night, and of the zodiac.Angelic correspondences for astrological work.

 

IV. Ars Almadel

 

Construction of a wax tablet (almadel) to contact angelic spirits of the four heavens.Angelic summoning through light and incense.

V. Ars Notoria Prayers and mystical exercises for divine wisdom and memory. Less demonic, more mystical and devotional.

🔹 3. Purpose

The Lemegeton serves as a systematic manual for spirit evocation — guiding the magician to:

• Call forth, bind, and question spiritual intelligences (both angelic and infernal).

• Obtain knowledge, protection, love, wealth, or assistance.

• Achieve wisdom and divine illumination.

🔹 4. Cosmology & Method

• Spirits are viewed as part of a divine hierarchy; their power ultimately comes from God.

• Solomonic authority: The magician acts under divine sanction, invoking God’s names to command spirits safely.

• Ritual tools: Circle, triangle, seal, wand, and consecrated items.

• Protective prayers: Christian and Hebrew divine names are invoked for protection and authority.

• Timing: Planetary hours, astrological correspondences, and ritual purity are emphasized.

🔹 5. Notable Section — The Ars Goetia

This first section became the most famous part, often published on its own as The Goetia.
It lists 72 spirits, each with:

• Name, rank (king, duke, marquis, etc.)

• Sigil (symbolic seal)

• Powers (knowledge, hidden treasures, love, invisibility, etc.)

• Appearance and method of conjuration

Later occultists like Aleister Crowley and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers reinterpreted this text for modern ceremonial magic, emphasizing psychological or symbolic readings.

🔹 6. Influence

The Lemegeton shaped nearly every later branch of Western ceremonial magic, influencing:

• The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn

• Aleister Crowley’s “Goetia of Solomon the King” (1904 edition)

• Modern chaos magic, Thelema, and demonological studies

• Contemporary occultists who interpret the spirits as archetypes or psychological forces, not literal beings

🕯️ 7. Summary Essence

The Lemegeton is a structured compendium of ritual magic attributed to Solomon, detailing how to contact or command spirits—whether angelic, elemental, or infernal—under divine authority. It blends mystical devotion with practical occult science, representing the heart of the Western grimoire tradition.

 

The greater key of Solomon

A grimoire that combines the sacred jewish texts of the Torah with stunning sigil designs. By far the most detailed and impressive sigils of any grimoire out there. This grimoire is themed around 7 planets represented by the 7 archangels. This grimoire delves heavily into specific days and hours to ward off demonic forces. It goes quite well hand and hand with the Lesser Key Of Solomon. 

🔹 1. Overview

• Full title: Clavicula Salomonis (“The Key of Solomon the King”)

• Attributed to: King Solomon, the biblical figure famed for his wisdom and command over spirits.

• Compiled: Likely between the 14th–17th centuries, though it claims far older origins.

• Language: Originally in Latin and Italian; later translated into French and English.

• Genre: Grimoire — a manual of ceremonial or Solomonic magic.

The Greater Key is considered the foundational text of Western ritual magic, especially the branch known as Solomonic magic.

🔹 2. Purpose

The work is presented as Solomon’s revelation of:

“The true key to all hidden mysteries of Heaven and Earth.”

Its stated goals are to teach:

• The invocation and control of spiritual entities (angels, planetary intelligences, and spirits).

• The construction and consecration of magical tools and talismans.

• The spiritual purification of the operator, ensuring that power is used under divine guidance.

It is notably theurgic rather than demonic — meaning it focuses on divine and angelic forces, not infernal ones.

🔹 3. Structure

The Greater Key of Solomon is usually divided into two books, sometimes with appendices.

BookFocus

Book IPreparation, purification, and invocation of spirits; consecration of ritual tools; construction of the magic circle.

Book IICreation and use of pentacles (magical symbols) corresponding to planetary influences; prayers and invocations.

🔹 4. Book I – Preparation & Ritual

Book I emphasizes ritual purity and divine authority. It instructs the magician to:

• Fast, pray, and confess sins.

• Wear white linen garments.

• Create and consecrate sacred tools (sword, wand, knife, pentacle, etc.).

• Perform ceremonies at astrologically favorable times.

• Invoke divine names of God and angels to command spirits.

The tone is religious and reverent — the magician acts as a priest, not a sorcerer seeking power for its own sake.

🔹 5. Book II – Pentacles & Planetary Magic

This section contains:

• Dozens of “Pentacles” — magical seals or talismans, each linked to one of the seven classical planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon).

• Each pentacle bears divine names, angelic sigils, and biblical verses, believed to channel celestial power.

• Instructions explain how to draw, consecrate, and use these pentacles for specific purposes (protection, success, love, knowledge, etc.).

For example:

• Pentacles of Jupiter bring wealth, favor, and authority.

• Pentacles of Mars offer strength and victory.

• Pentacles of the Sun confer enlightenment and vitality.

🔹 6. Philosophical and Spiritual Framework

• The universe is a hierarchical order of divine powers, reflected in planetary correspondences and sacred names.

• The magician’s power depends on alignment with divine will and purity of intent.

• Magic is an act of cooperation with angels and divine intelligences, not rebellion.

It combines Kabbalistic, Christian, and pre-Christian mystical ideas, forming the intellectual core of the Western esoteric tradition.

🔹 7. Influence

The Greater Key of Solomon influenced nearly all later Western occult literature:

• The Lesser Key (Lemegeton) — a practical offshoot emphasizing spirit evocation.

• The Grimorium Verum and Heptameron — derivative works.

• 19th–20th century orders like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Thelema.

• Modern ceremonial magicians and Kabbalistic practitioners continue to adapt its framework.

🕯️ 8. Summary Essence

The Greater Key of Solomon is a sacred manual of divine magic that teaches the purification, prayer, and ritual methods by which a worthy magician may align with heavenly forces and command spiritual beings under the authority of God.

It represents the “high” form of ritual magic, distinguished by its focus on order, piety, and divine wisdom, rather than infernal conjuration.

Where to obtain accult artifacts?

If you wanna attain an occult artifact then I suggest getting a demonic rose pendant. Used in satanic rituals by an actual occultist. Summoning demons takes a lot of studying and diciplined practice but you can skip the line by obtaining one of these sacred artifacts yourself.
