A simple, 2 prim leather bound book. Click it for the notecard containing the actual Grimoire. This is not one of the fancy books whose pages flip or that you attach to your HUD. It’s a glorified notecard dispenser. If nothing else, you have a free low prim book to decorate your home or office with.
This is based on real Pagan/Wiccan/Magick belief and research. The information makes up a real grimoire from a real Witch.
Below you’ll find the Foreword and the Table of Contents for the Grimoire. You’ll see why I didn’t make it the fancy version just by how much info is contained ((the RL book is over 300 pages)). It would have cost a small fortune to make something I planned on just giving away.
It’s copy and transfer so you can hand them out to whomever. Do not sell it, though.

FOREWORD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little history lesson: A Witch traditionally kept two different books: their Book of Shadows and their Book of Light, or Grimoire. The Book of Shadows was where all the spells and charms they knew or used were kept, while the Book of Light was more of a compendium of common knowledge used to make up the spells, potions, etc.
This Grimoire is the Book of Light for my RL coven, The Shady Grove. It is a compilation of many different sources, the ones listed in the bibliography, put together for sheer convenience. I offer it to all freely; I wish to make no profit on it. Most of it is not my own work, but the works of other, far more skilled practitioners who have gone before me. Full credit is owned and deserved by the original authors. I suggest you read their books for further information on a particular topic. You’ll find most of my additions in the Herbology section, just so you know.
This is not the How-To book, that’s a Book of Shadows. This is more the encyclopedia that can tell you what to use for a project you have in mind. Please, feel free to do your own further research, especially into the books used to make this one. They go into far more depth than I do.
Good luck in all good-hearted endeavors
