by Tarl Warwick (Editor)
On This Page
Description
The Red Dragon has been variously treated as a grimoire, a piece of folk literature, and a joke manuscript; it comprises one part of what is loosely termed "The Grand Grimoire"- a collection of magickal works from the Renaissance such as the Black Pullet and Lesser Keys of Solomon.The Red Dragon however bears the title "Grand Grimoire" on its own. Multiple editions of it exist, some with material tacked on. It takes the form of a long ritualistic ceremony designed to secure communication show more with a demon known as "Lucifuge Rofocale" followed by various invocations and incantations and spells.The contents are heretical in the extreme, from rituals involving boiling a black cat to the use of toxic substances in ritual form. Small wonder, that this text has gained so much notoreity. show lessTags

This is the first and best translation of the most highly sought after ancient grimoire of all times, The Red Dragon. It was translated from the original French text into modern English for the first time by the International Guild of Occult Sciences, IGOS.
This translation is so well done, that it is copied to this day, 20 years after it was first published. New IGOS editions are available now. For the serious occultist it is critical to use only the IGOS edition to safely perform the powerful rituals this book offers.

This book is a typical medieval grimoire filled with dark magic, that is a blend of Paganism and ancient show more Christian rituals.This book is not to be used by beginners, it ís for advanced practitioners only. In general it is a very interesting read for any occultist seeking insight into ancient magic. show less
