Hands on with Cunning Grimoire Magic

Straight from the burned-fingers school of magic, this workshop prioritises practice over purism.

Beginning with an introduction to the Grimoires and planetary magic, and a discussion of the practical elements of grimoire ritual, the main focus of the workshop will be on the skills necessary to get things working, some shortcuts, and a streamlined grimoire-style evocation process for initiating relationships with the famous Olympic Spirits, rulers of the elementals and directions.

You’ll leave with some practical experience, some freshly made and consecrated tools, and a simple method by which to approach your ongoing planetary magic. We shall cover:

• A grimoire-derived ritual process
• Basic tools (the book, incense/fire, water, the circle, the knife & wand, the table of practice, the lamen, icons, offerings)
• The Almadel tradition
• Associated grimoires
• The Olympic Spirits
• Timing
• A quick and dirty Olympic ritual
• Planetary image magic
