“To understand the grimoires within their own context, we must not look at them through the eyes of twenty-first century readers with modern sensibilities. We must examine them with the eyes of the medieval magician, who lived in a world much harsher than our own: famine, epidemic illness, religious persecution, and warfare often meant that human life was cheap. As a result, the magic employed by medieval mages to protect home and hearth was a very serious business and not for the faint of heart.”

“The grimoires were already illegal; authoring or possessing them was punishable by torture and death. In that case, listing belladonna as an ingredient in an incense won’t likely be the crime that gets you lynched in a text that tells you how to conjure demons to kill your enemies.”

“One of the greatest assets of this present work is the meticulous attention paid to the subject of theurgy or "god working," which Leitch describes as "the heart of our work." Theurgy is designed to elevate the magician's soul toward the celestial realms by invoking and communicating with angels, archangels, and various levels of deity. The detailed regimen of magical work, purity, humility, and self-control required of a medieval theurgist should leave the reader with little doubt that the spiritual path of the adept magician is a high caliber discipline that takes work, perseverance, and dedication.”
