Have any of you ever read a Grimoire?
I have read alittle about some of the most well known books and what they cointain. But it seems like they are hard to get through.
Anything worth sharing?

Bumping for intrest
very much bump sir

>hard to get through
What do you mean? Do you mean they're boring/hard to read?
Also I personally don't prefer to read grimoires (at least those that are considered "true" grimoires) because they're meant to be a teaching tool and that typically doesn't apply to my craft. I do look through other witches' book of shadows/spell books though.

if you want some good fomprehensive stuff cornelius agrippa is good. if you want the fundamentals before then of the western magick tradition you should read iamblichus. if you wish to understand the whole concept of the world of ideas and sympathetic magick read plato and socrates and know that occultism predated all of this and understanding came later over time snd is still progressing :3.
have fun ^_^

Where can I find an English translation?
(Ps I did Google search, it's either in Latin or it costs money)

i had an english translation in pdf once but misplaced it >>

Damn. Thank you for your honesty though! The struggle with magick texts is finding ones of actual merit...
In the /omg/ mega, there's a folder of grimoires I believe.

I've gone through that about 4 times, but wasn't looking for that text before. Worth a shot.
