What exactly is a grimoire? A forbidden book of spirits? A ritual manual? A magical technology of authority? Or a text that has survived precisely because it never stopped changing?

What exactly is a grimoire? A forbidden book of spirits? A ritual manual? A magical technology of authority? Or a text that has survived precisely because it never stopped changing?

In this episode, I explore the history of the grimoire tradition from medieval clerical magic to printed chapbooks, Solomonic ritual manuals, the Picatrix, the Key of Solomon, the Ars Goetia, Abramelin, the Arbatel, and the modern occult revival.

Rather than treating grimoires as timeless books of secret power, we will look at how they were copied, edited, forged, printed, condemned, commercialised, revived and reimagined across centuries.

Is It Ever Ethical to Curse Someone?

What lies beyond using runes as simple symbols for divination or spellcraft?

In this livestream, I speak with David Linder, author of Advanced Rune Magic: The Greater Mysteries of Nordic Spirituality, about the Elder Futhark as a path of experiential knowledge and self-transformation.

David approaches the twenty-four runes as interfaces with Runa, the greater Mystery. Drawing on the Rune Poems, Eddic mythology, historical context, meditation, galdor, talismans, and lived practice, he explores how runes can shape not only magical workings but the practitioner’s character, relationships, and engagement with the world.

We will also examine where historical reconstruction ends and personal gnosis begins, how modern practitioners can create responsibly within a living tradition, and why Odin’s ordeal on Yggdrasil offers a powerful model of sacrifice, initiation, and the reconstruction of the self.

Is rune magic ultimately about changing circumstances, or about becoming someone capable of changing the world?

We’ll discuss rune magic as a path of self-transformation, the Rune Poems and Eddic sources, galdor, gods and wights, personal gnosis, and the fascinating question of where historical reconstruction ends and contemporary spiritual practice begins.
