Grimoire

(`Grim war') From the French; translated into English as "Grammar."

Merriam-Webster's Dictionary:

Grammar: n.... 3 a : a grammar textbook ... 4 : the principals or rules of an art, science, or technique ...

Etymology: Middle English gramere, from Middle French gramaire, modification of Latin grammatica, from Greek grammatikE, from feminine of grammatikos of letters, from grammat-,gramma ... Date: 14th century.

In popular modern usage, the word grimoire refers specifically to a set of medieval European magickal texts (notebooks, journals, and teaching aids) that record that culture's form of practical magick. Their main focus is the summoning of spiritual entities (celestial and infernal) for various shamanic purposes.

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I wish to thank the many people who have taken an inconceivable interest in my efforts. Many of them have been my teachers, some have offered me wonderful opportunities, and most of them have done both: Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero, Steve Kinney, Stuart Myers, John Pilato, AJ Rose, Tony Hutchins, Philip Farber, and Brendan Tripp. And such dedicated authors as Donald Michael Kraig, Janet and Stewart Farrar, Robert Anton Wilson, Robert Heinlein, and the many others who have changed my life without knowing it.

Special thanks in regards to this book, as well as many other projects, must go to: Carrie Mikell and Ocha'ni Lele for their invaluable input on the subjects of African-descended spirituality, Carrie Mikell again for the contribution of her artwork, Steve Kinney for helping me slay the Illustration Dragon, as well as Mitch Hensen, Bick Thomas, and most of the great folks listed above.

And, finally, to the fond memory and legacy of Matthew Sparks.

"The Entertainer."
