The books is divided into two sections. The First Part discusses in detail the Literature of Ceremonial Magic, dealing with the antiquity of magical rituals, the rituals of transcendental magic, the composites of rituals and the rituals of Black Magic. The Second Part presents the Complete Grimoire, which is presented from the original documents in exact unabridged form. The copyists' errors left from ancient times have been deleted. The Grimoire will be of immense interest to the student of the occult, especially the chapter on the goetic theurgy, which gives the conjurations and the invocations to the king and the Spirit. The rites of exorcism are detailed, and useful in purging. The illustrations will be of real interest to the student. They are clearly presented and explained.
