Grand Grimoire
''The Grand Grimoire'' is a black magic grimoire. Different editions date the book to 1521, 1522 or 1421, but it was probably written during the early 19th century. Owen Davies suggests 1702 is when the first edition may have been created and a ''Bibliothèque bleue'' version (a popular edition, similar to a chapbook) of the text may have been published in 1750. The "introductory chapter" was authored by someone named Antonio Venitiana del Rabina who supposedly gathered his information from original writings of King Solomon. Much of material of this grimoire derives from the ''Key of Solomon'' and the ''Lesser Key of Solomon'', pseudepigraphical grimoires attributed to King Solomon. Also known as ''Le Dragon Rouge'' or ''The Red Dragon'', this book contains instructions purported to summon Lucifer or Lucifuge Rofocale, for the purpose of forming a Deal with the Devil. The 19th century French occultist Éliphas Lévi (author of ''Dogme et rituel de la haute magie'') claimed the co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Botis
Botis, sometimes Otis, is a demon described in the ''Lesser Key of Solomon'' (as the seventeenth spirit) and the ''Pseudomonarchia Daemonum'' (as the ninth spirit) as a President and an Earl who initially appears as a viper before changing into a sword-toting, fanged, and horned human who discusses matters past, present, and future; brings favor from allies and enemies, and rules 60 legions of demons. In the ''Munich Manual of Demonic Magic'', Botis appears as Otius, and is mostly identical except that he is a ''preses'' and Count, appears in the more humanoid form to begin with, and rules only 36 legions of demons. In the ''Grand Grimoire'', Botis appears as a subordinate of Agaliarept. According to Rudd, Botis is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch ''Shem HaMephorash'' ( he, שֵׁם הַמְּפֹרָשׁ ''Šēm hamMəfōrāš'', also ''Shem ha-Mephorash''), meaning "the explicit name," is originally a Tannaitic term describing the Tetragrammaton.

Urban Fantasy
Urban fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy which places imaginary and unreal elements in an approximation of a contemporary urban setting. The combination provides the writer with quixotic plot-drivers, unusual character traits, and a platform for classic fantasy tropes, without demanding the creation of an entirely-imagined world. Although precursors of urban fantasy date back to the 19th century, the term dates back to the 1970s. The current popularity began in the 1980s, with writers encouraged by the success of Stephen King and Anne Rice. Characteristics Urban fantasy combines selected imaginary/unrealistic elements of plot, character, theme, or setting with a largely-familiar world—combining the familiar and the strange. Such elements may exist secretly in the world or may occur openly. Fantastic components may be magic, paranormal beings, recognizable mythic or folk-tale plots, or thematic tropes (a quest, battle of good/evil, &c.). Authors may use current ''urban myths'', ...

Grimoirium Verum
The ''Grimorium Verum'' (Latin for ''True Grimoire'') is an 18th-century grimoire attributed to one "Alibeck the Egyptian" of Memphis, who purportedly wrote in 1517. Like many grimoires, it claims a tradition originating with King Solomon. The grimoire is not a translation of an earlier work as purported, its original appearing in French or Italian in the mid-18th century, as noted already by A. E. Waite who discussed the work in his ''The Book of Ceremonial Magic'' (1911), stating: One version of the ''Grimoire'' was included as ''The Clavicles of King Solomon: Book 3'' in one of the French manuscripts S. L. MacGregor Mathers incorporated in his version of the ''Key of Solomon'', but it was omitted from the ''Key'' with the following explanation:Joseph H Peterson, ''Grimorium Verum'', , Appendix 1, "Excerpts from Grimorium Verum from British Library manuscript Lansdowne 1202", pp. 79.
