Crossed Keys

by Michael Cecchetelli

Crossed Keys is a chimeric binding of both The Black Dragon and the Enchiridion of Pope Leo III in a fresh translation by grimoire magician Michael Cecchetelli who was compelled to undertake this work in unorthodox circumstances. They are complementary grimoires, spanning the very earliest example of the genre to the late bibliotheque bleue period. Together they comprise a wealth of spells, spirits, lore, talismans and psalm magic, with their head in the highest heavens and their feet in the deepest hells. This is the first time they have been bound into one volume. Extensively footnoted, the seals corrected re-drawn and restored, with excerpts and workings from the translator's magical record, this is a well armed and practical text which throws light on the Grimorium Verum, Red Dragon and Grand Grimoire. It is a vigorous text, designed to be put to use.

[Lee Tempest · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fascinating book containing sleeps, curses, charms in both divine and infernal. It is well-done, especially with the Author's own piece from his MD about pestering Frimost added in. Some readers of the LHP may get a little... uncomfortable with some part for obvious reasons.

How do you guys do those beginning rituals in the beginning of the book starting with the first evocation I'm not sure on how to set it up

[Skylar Jon Izzard · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really cool piece of Catholic history

[Äsruþr Cyneaþsson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cecchetelli has produced an incredible work. The clarification and correction of many aspects of the enchiridion of Pope Leo reveals a fantastic wealth of occult knowledge and spell work that is readily adaptable to the modern age.

Cecchetelli is an occult worker and scholastic author to be kept an eye on for the future.
