Here we will take a journey into these mysterious pages and gain a peek into the weird world of magic.īooks of magic are often referred to in modern times as “grimoires,” a term which originally referred simply to all books written in Latin, which derives from the Old French word “grammaire,” meaning “grammar,” and which came to be associated with magical texts and tomes.

These are ancient texts which are said to hold within them the promise of the secrets of the magical arts, the spiritual world, dimensions beyond, and perhaps even the universe itself. Ancient books are already fascinating enough as it is, to hold something from history itself containing lost knowledge in one’s own hands strangely alluring, yet when that book is filled with the mysterious world of magic and its secrets, well that makes it something truly special.

The idea that these strange forces surround us and that we can harness these powers beyond our understanding to influence and shape the world can be universally found across far-flung cultures all over the planet, and since humans first began to write we have long compiled this magical knowledge into various manuscripts and books. Since time unremembered, all the way back to when the first flickers of thought and consciousness emerged within our kind and we reached out and sought to explain the myriad wonders of our world there has been the persistent belief in magic.
