Frankly I don't really deal with ''demons'' or whatever they're supposed to be (mostly because I don't believe in them), I'm much more interested in works by Aleister Crowley and Thaumaturgy, and Wicca is pretty nice too . <br />I don't get what curses are supposed to be either . <br />Malevolent magic of sorts ? Don't know and don't care .<br />Thanks anyways .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861325713005738199.post-44651703092777699582015-10-08T18:52:23.640+02:002015-10-08T18:52:23.640+02:00I had to Google this one because I had never heard...I had to Google this one because I had never heard of it before (mainly because demonology is not on my interests list). I guess it would by definition. But mind you, not all grimoires deal with demons. In fact, from what I know, many more deal with magic in the broadest sense. <br /><br />While we're on this topic, I would like to give you a piece of friendly advice. I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries here. But I would really recommend that you stay away from this kind of magic and demons in general. Dabbling in magic is not an good idea. You either take it seriously, do you research and start with baby steps or you don't do it at all. Also, working with negative energies is very serious business and I'm not sure what good could come out of it. Negativity attracts more negativity. So there's some food for thought for you dear anonymous reader.Witch's Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900619396995291446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861325713005738199.post-79122549097700614772015-10-08T18:40:37.552+02:002015-10-08T18:40:37.552+02:00Well, most early magic was influenced by Christian...Well, most early magic was influenced by Christian teachings, I think .<br />Also yes, Grimoire of Pope Honorius does stand out a little, since it, like many other grimoires, teaches about rituals how to summon demons, while also being supposedly written by a Pope . According to you, would ''Pseudomonarchia Daemonum'' count as a grimoire ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861325713005738199.post-50665361411442033382015-10-08T18:26:30.236+02:002015-10-08T18:26:30.236+02:00Well I'm not sure that Heptameron falls under ...Well I'm not sure that Heptameron falls under this category and the Grimoire of Pope Honorius seems to slightly stand out as it was supposedly written by a Pope. But it all depends on how you define "grimoire". Keep in mind though that the "occult" doesn't necessarily have to mean what it means nowadays (referring to magic, "non-Christian" practices and so on). The occult simply means hidden (and mystical in this sense). But yes, grimoires usually have something to do with the supernatural, and "magic" in one way or another.Witch's Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900619396995291446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861325713005738199.post-64388260666961491742015-10-08T18:16:18.413+02:002015-10-08T18:16:18.413+02:00So The Grimoire of Pope Honorius, Aradia, or the G...So The Grimoire of Pope Honorius, Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, <br />Heptameron, The Picatrix, Grand Grimoire etc. are all basically spell books, supposedly written by that and that mage at that and that time, serving as some sort of a guide for magic and things like that ?<br />Hm, interesting .

Grimoire is quite an old term for a book/notebook of sorts that served to collect different knowledge. What is implied here is that this knowledge is of an "occult" nature. You can find many grimoires around the world, some even uploaded on the internet, of that and that magus or something similar. These people apparently kept all their knowledge and findings in this notebook. You could perhaps call it a sort of magical journal (though writing in it every day isn't/wasn't obligatory). It is somewhat similar to the modern-day Book of Shadows in Wicca.Witch's Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900619396995291446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861325713005738199.post-27389663126459691942015-10-08T16:45:13.072+02:002015-10-08T16:45:13.072+02:00Thank you very much for a quick response !

I often hear about them but I don't exactly know what they are .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861325713005738199.post-5270738291167067272015-10-08T16:27:29.164+02:002015-10-08T16:27:29.164+02:00Hello there!
Well, I have written several posts on...Hello there!<br />Well, I have written several posts on the topic of magic. You can find them in the "Magic" section of the blog:<br />http://vjesticji-ormar.blogspot.hr/p/english-translations.html<br /><br />So I would recommend you have a look at them first if that suits you. Hopefully you will find answers to your questions there, but if not, feel free to ask away. <br /><br />The last question you asked is the only really tricky one. There is always a certain amount of tension between science and spirituality. I personally haven't bothered too much with the scientific aspect of the issue (I'm interested more in the psychological and philosophical aspects), although I have written a post that could interest you on this topic as well:<br /><br />http://vjesticji-ormar.blogspot.hr/2013/07/can-science-confirm-occult-beliefs.html<br /><br />I would therefore recommend that you have a look at these posts and then see if you find answers to your questions. If something is still unclear, feel free to comment on the posts and/or use the contact form to contact me and hopefully we will manage to answer your remaining questions together. :)<br /><br />Take care!<br /><br />P.S. your English seems fine to me!Witch's Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900619396995291446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861325713005738199.post-65865058357589026022015-10-08T12:07:41.821+02:002015-10-08T12:07:41.821+02:00Hi !

I am deeply sorry if I misunderstood something on your blog, since I'm not best at English :( . <br />I would like to ask you a question, since you seem like a reliable source of information when it comes to Wicca/Paganism/Magic . <br />The question is, what is actually magic ? Like, is it a force of nature, something connected to mind/brain, or something outside our universe ? Can it be scientifically proven/explained ? Thanks !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
