The practitioner's encyclopedia of magick

Keep the craft.
Open the Grimoire.

A working temple and a reference for everyone who practises. Thousands of cross-linked entries on tarot and astrology, herbcraft and sigil work, the Akashic Records and ceremonial magick, written by practitioners and meant to be used the same evening you read them.

The Reference Library

A grimoire kept the way a grimoire should be kept

Grimoire treats magick as a living practice and the reader as a practitioner. Every entry tells you what a practice is for, where it comes from, and how to work it, in clear and confident prose. History is told honestly, modern lineages are named as the living traditions they are, and closed practices are described with the respect they are owed. This is a reference you can trust and a temple you can sit in.
