The Grand Grimoire: The Red Dragon Kindle Edition

The Grand Grimoire, coined “The Red Dragon,” and also termed as “The Gospel of Satan,” is an infamous grimoire written with the instructions to summon a demon named ‘Lucifige Rofocale,’ a supposed high-ranking leader in charge of Lucifer’s hell. (The editor made an astute point that Lucifige Rofocale is implied to mean ‘Satan,’ and was really created with the purposes of summoning him.) For those of you unfamiliar with the manuscript itself, the majority of the book’s contents are supposedly locked away deep in the Vatican’s archives. It is assumed that due to the Vatican’s supposed involvement, that we do not have the complete material; therefore, the copy we have is mainly an excerpt. The Grand Grimoire, like most grimoires of its time, takes inspiration from the machinations of King Solomon (for he is mentioned a lot in this text). The main purpose of this grimoire is to communicate with the spirits that Solomon had done, and to obtain whatever knowledge the summoner sees fit.The Grand Grimoire is also filled with other various spells besides the invocation of Lucifige Rofocale. As one Amazon Reviewer pointed out, this text is mostly a collection of various folk magics, such as: invisibility, love, to test a woman’s fertility, to travel ten-miles per hour, etc. In addition, this text also contains various omen interpretations, and a random recipe to create glue.I would implore the reader to not take this grimoire so seriously, as it filled with ridiculous (yet wildly entertaining) material. Boiling a black cat, choking a black hen, sitting a certain way, writing one’s name in blood, are just some of the bizarre offering this book offers. However, it is a good book to draw comparisons to other grimoires of its time, and an amusing short read. (That being said, I do plan on trying to concoct the recipe for glue, out of curiosity.)For those interested in languages, the book contains much Latin; I found the words and prayers to be profoundly beautiful.Finally, I will say, this text is a product of its time; therefore, my advice is to treat it exactly as that.

Wish it would have had more graphic pictures, demonic images etc. other than that it's a decent book on black magic.

My mom used to say that "any holy book we get to day is only as good as the scribe that wrote it. And that the interpretation is only as good as the interpreter. That folks should remember that were reading what other peoples think that they read in a book. The writer may have meant something different."I think that in some states in the US it is against the law to teach some kinds of actions; because someone might really do that kind of thing. Slaves and Ox, cows were usually donated for a sacrifice to be breeders for everyone. the family made the sacrifice by giving something to the whole area in hopes that everyone would gain form the perfect cow. So the book might be way off. It is an ok read but it is not mind candy and I would think that only folks over 40 should read the book.

I'm not sure if in the images it can be seen well, but inside the book it was dirty, now this is just a pet peeve, but if it's a brand new book, (and it at least seems n feels like it is) then it shouldn't arrive with dirt inside of the pages. Other than that, the typical corner dent from shipping.

Called the most wicked book ever. I enjoyed this short read very much. I actually felt honored to have it. A must for your occult library. But...be warned! Owning and reading this book may open the gates and let loose the hounds of hell and ruin your life. Proceed with caution☠️

Makes a nice addition to my collection.

I'm a student of the occult, a collector of obscure knowledge. The description misrepresented this book as a publication of lost esoteric knowledge. A grimoire of ancient wisdom long buried in the bowels of Vatican's Bibliotheca. Unfortunately, I fell for the hyperbole. This is a mash-up of basic pact working combined with folk magic spells, but DOES NOT contain secret knowledge which cannot easily be found elsewhere.

I love learning about all kinds of deities and mythologies. I like having intellectual discussions about religious ideas with like-minded people. This book is interesting!
