The Red Dragon Grimoire Review
The Red Dragon Grimoire THE GRAND GRIMOIRE
Detailed Review by the Red Dragon Order of France Jacques de Payens
The Red Dragon Grimoire
No matter your occult tradition or location on the planet, the most sought after Grimoire is the Red Dragon Grimoire. Serious occult practitioners in Haiti, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Europe and even China seek out this Grimoire. In the Secret Orders of Europe, each Order has their own special version of this Grimoire. Yes, Seekers, there are many versions of this important Grimoire. The vulgar versions have been translated and published recently for the masses. But, there are secret versions kept for only a select few to use. There are secrets within secrets in Occult Orders few will ever know. The Dark world of the Black Lodge must always be watched and countered, stopping them from gaining too much power and thus enslaving the world. A thin line of White Lodges keep the world safe, at least for now. The Red Dragon Grimoire published in the 1800’s in French was a public version, it was first completely translated into English by Master Occultist Robert Blanchard Ph.D. from the International Guild of Occult Sciences in 1992. While there has been a few recent other “translations” of this Grimoire, they are all using the original Blanchard translation almost word for word. A great compliment to Master Occultist Blanchard. What few know is that there are secrets within secrets in all ancient Grimoires. Encoding, secret systems, hidden Sigils and much more. You will understand only up to your level of White Lodge Initiation, as it was meant to be. What the Grimoire reveals to the average person, is very different then what it reveals to the Initiate. I will detail the vulgar teachings held within the Grimoire and elude to the mysteries. Grimoires were a business much like it is today in ancient times and in the 1800’s. It is interesting to note the forbidden was sought after then as it is now. The Grimoire name is a misnomer. The Red Dragon Grimoire and the Grand Grimoire are very similar but,
PAGE 1
to the Initiate there are huge differences. There are different secret encoding and they were designed for different level Imitates. The Red Dragon Grimoire was designed for higher level Initiates that needed the secret encoded information but, were unable to “publicly” obtain it. It was, for the time mass distributed, and made “sexy” for increased public sales. The title Red Dragon was a provocative title eluding to Demons and Satan. The type of Dragon pictured on the book is a symbol of Satan or Demonic power. Like the most popular books of modern times, there is a strong draw to evil magic. Considering that in ancient times the study of magic was not allowed and was “masked” in religious terminology. The understanding that Demonic forces would help you in the physical material world was a common belief. Angels and Gods were for spiritual needs or protection from evil. They would not assist you in material worldly pursuits. If you needed love, money or success, you needed to call upon a “demon” to assist you. This changes the understanding of what demons really meant to ancient man, compared to the modern understanding. The whole term of Black Magic is totally misunderstood in its proper occult use and has fallen into common slang understanding. But, that is for another detailed article. The first person to translate the bible into English was executed for this terrible act. This is not to say that Occultists of the Middle Ages were pagans, far from it. The ritual magician of the Middle Ages was an educated person brought up in the Christian religion and a strong believer in it. There were still a lot of Pagans or believers in the Old Gods which practiced witchcraft and were more rural based. But, the educated Grimoire user was a semi-educated priest. The only people able to read and write were involved with the church. This was the only way of getting educated. In the 1800’s when there was a magical resurgence in France after the French revolution with the Church having more limited powers, Grimoire became popular and there were more educated people that could read and write. Still, even here there were large numbers of Initiates that could not read or write and were PAGE 2
trained by the old methods of “doing”. Published Grimoires had picture codes in them for the large number of Initiates that needed this type of training. France was one of the few countries that occultism was tolerated in to some degree. Of course, this occultism was Christian based, as were the practitioners. It is wrong to think that practitioners of magic were non-Christian, devil worshippers or pagans. There was well over a thousand years of the new religion of the Christ. Everyone was brought up in this tradition expect for a few Jews and some country folk that followed the old ways. Because of the lack of instant communication and old belief systems, religion was, while having detailed dogma, practiced differently depending on the location or distance from the Pope or Vatican. Many heretical practices were followed in some cases by large numbers of people. The Cather Gnostics is one of these Christian offshoots that had a great following and was finally destroyed by the sword by the Church. Magic was never allowed in the Church as it was not God’s will, it was your will or Satan’s will if magic was used. As a good Christian, you are expected to “follow” God and do as God wants, not as you desire. Magic is about manifesting your desires, whether this be spiritual or material and as such not God’s will. If it is not of God, it is of Satan. This is important to understand for all occultists. It is interesting to see a Satanic Dragon on the cover of the Red Dragon and the Red Dragon itself, is another term for Satan. If you look at the Red Dragon cover you will see a unique type of Dragon that has more of a Satanic look to it with horns, along thin tail, claws, wings etc. are all not the classical Dragon of myths. It is a shadowy figure, a slimy figure of snake or reptile origins, not the strong Dragon figures commonly known and used. Dragon mythology is fascinating and varies greatly from country to country and is far too complicated to detail here. To sum it up for this article, there are three Dragon Orders in Europe. The Black Dragon Lodge or evil occultists, the White Dragon Lodge or positive occultists and the Red Dragon Lodge or
PAGE 3
those that practice the Light and Dark Arts for the good of mankind. To the Initiate seeing the Red Dragon cover and title, it tells him that this is Light and Dark Lodge publication. To the average person it has the forbidden appeal of Satan while actually containing, rituals based in Christian beliefs. The key Sigil in the Red Dragon drawing is the stars in the wings. This represents divine order and its control over chaos and evil. Its actual symbolism is the control or domination of evil. For the common person and the common buyer this is a forbidden text dealing with demonic spirits and thus having greater appeal, resulting in greater sales. A similar Grimoire of similar content was named the Grand Grimoire to have appeal for those not interested in Satanic magic. While these appear similar there are different encoded secrets in each one. The Red Dragon Order of France, is known by this name because of the traditional Red Dragon spirits that guard the vast network of tunnels under our control that house relics and ancient texts. Anyone venturing into these tunnels will come face to face with these Red Dragon spirits. The actual Order’s name is not the commonly used one, it is known only to Initiates.

The Red Dragon Grimoire International Guild of Occult Sciences Edition As I have already stated, this is the only translation that can be used by practicing occultists. All other translations are terribly bastardized from beginning to end and dangerous to use. I warned you, so take responsibly for your own foolish acts. The French-Latin edition was translated from the 1571 manuscript, all those the magic detailed in the books goes back at least a thousand years and more to King Solomon, and was passed on from his magicians to numerous other societies and other Rabbis. Like most grimoires known today, their origins come from ancient Jewish sects, which were greatly influenced by all the cultures in the Middle East, including the Egyptians, Sumerians, Babylonians, Greeks and others. This information filtered into Europe through church scribes and latter reached the educated public in France in mass in the 1800’s. While the Grimoire does instruct you in contacting demons and Satan, it is all done from a Christian magicians understanding. Since the demons stated in the Grimoire are based in Judeo-Christian tradition, they are also controlled by the use of Judeo-Christian gods, i.e., Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit. Something that seems to be missed by ignorant occultists stating that demons do not respect Christian Gods. People forget how powerful and destructive the Old Testament God is, even destroying the entire earth and the population on the earth. The Christian God and his Angels beat and cast out Satan from heaven. A fact Satanists seem to forget, when speaking about how powerful Satan is over God and his Angels. Another twisted fact of disinformation Satanists like to spout. It is not God that is weak, it is his followers that are weak and easily give into evil.

When the Red Dragon Grimoire uses the name of God against demons for general control and protection from, it is doing it in the manner for the Grimoire. It is all based in the same Judeo-Christian tradition. The Demons described in the Grimoire are all from ancient Jewish sources, regardless if the reader wants to believe they were taken from older systems or cultural. It does not matter, as they were brought into the Jewish tradition and as so, are controlled within that system by God. It is interesting to read how the loser Angel Lucifer is given so much credit and abilities when he was defeated and cast out of Paradise to the hell of the earth plane, and some how is now a winner? The feeble minded strike again, giving us their flee belly depth of wisdom. It is important to understand this as the demons used in Grimoires all come under the control of God and his Angels. Thinking these are all powerful demon-gods is a fool’s opinion best left unstated, so you are not looked upon as a total fool, let people think it, instead of knowing it. This is why all evocations in the Red Dragon include protect and control by God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and usually a statement for Satan to stay away. The Grimoire opens with, on page 10 a Sigil of the Solar God, the all mighty Solar God resting atop the Ark of the Covenant. A very important encoded symbol for the Initiates to use. For the common person it just can be noted and understood as a Sigil of the Solar God or the Christ. The Grimoire also states that it took 67 years to write this Grimoire and compile it in this exact form and as such, it must be used exactly as written here. This is important to the user as well, it clearly states to use exactly as written here and further shows how critical the translation is to the user. I am not going to explain each page to you, this is for the new edition coming out in a few years that will take the user through the Grimoire line by line. I will now start to review and sum up the book in general.
PAGE 6
Once you start reading this Grimoire you will see the detailed direct manner it is written in. For a Grimoire is it easy to understand and user safe. It details the “Thunder Rod” and how it prepare yourself for rituals, what to make and wear. It does describe an animal sacrifice commonly used in ancient times and even to this day in Jewish practices. Few seem to know this, for one reason or another. It is important in this system to “charge” the Thunder Rod, as it is the protector of the magician. The ritual sacrifice and the “old ways” can be modified by the skilled magician but, this is the problem with Grimoires in general, they are for advanced occultists with knowledge of ritual magic and how old practices can be modified for use in modern times. What seems to the average “city dweller” today as extreme, because we all believe food comes from the back of the supermarket, the killing of an animal was common place and done by everyone to survive. Not in a cruel factory farm manner of modern times but, in a typical farm fashion as much needed food. The opening ritual is just that type of ritual. A ritual to Summon Lucifer is the first offered with how is done. Spirits need to be commanded and threatened to obey you for personal safely and to get their help period. Without this there is no reason for them to help you, nor should they care about obeying you or attacking you, after all you are not in control of them. That is why spirits are commanded, something modern ignorant magicians do not understand. All the training needed is detailed here. If you think being nice to Lucifer or any demonic spirit will get you results, you need a lot more training, to say the least. The Grimoire also explains how to get a demon to bring you treasures. All the original Sigils, and “illustrations” are given to you in the IGOS edition. Nothing has been changed. I was shocked to read a recent Ad for another Grimoire stating the Seals were corrected, redrawn and restored! Corrected by who in what manner and who gave you the corrected original Seals? This means the writer and
PAGE 7
illustrator took the perfect original Seals and made them look pretty, or in this case destroyed the original Seals and made them not only worthless but, look terrible as well. Taking a compass making a thinned lined circle and inserting blurry scanned images, into these third grade looking circles. Of course, all this from a third rate Satanic thug. The occult public is really getting screwed! If all the illustrations and sigils are not from the original text, the Grimoire is worthless and little more than a comic book. Beware of clash septic tank level Grimoires produced by Black Lodge vermin. The Grimoire details on how to bind and control Lucifer, to bring Lucifer under your control so he brings you treasure and will do your bidding. This includes the exact wording and “contract” to use. This is powerful rare information. If completed exactly as stated, think of the power you could yield with having Lucifer at your command. This is a practical ritual for making a Pact with Lucifer without the negative of giving your soul, it is about Lucifer assisting you or suffering the tortures of God. The next section details on how to talk to the dead. It goes to give more details on how to make Pacts with demons to get them to assist you and how to control everything on earth, minerals, animals and natural life. Lists of demons are given with what demons control other demons. Critical to know who to evoke to command other demons for a particular use. If you do not know what demons are used for what purpose, you cannot evoke and command them successfully and they are not going to volunteer the information. Over eighteen demons are listed with who controls whom and for what purpose. These demons are used for control of women, animals, treasure, wealth, cursing and more. The Grimoire details the Clavicle of Solomon and it is used to control and subdue demons. Here is real magic as practiced in ancient and PAGE 8
medieval times. The silly story of Faust, is nothing but, a trap designed by demons to trap man into offering his soul in return for so-called power. The problem is, why would a person do this? The smart thing is to make a Pact in your favor under threat of torment from God if the demon does not obey you. This is the smart kind of “pact” that so rarely is talked about yet, is the core of this and other Grimoires. Only a fool would deal with the Devil from a point of weakness, after all, the Devil can never be trusted. Yet few occultists understand this basic principle of occultism and know the “gossip” or Black Lodge understanding of Pacts and not the actual facts. This is the reason there is always commanding involved, you are not asking but, commanding spirits. That is why the subtitle of the Grimoire is the “Art of Commanding Spirits”. Why occultists think this is a Satanic Grimoire or Evil in nature is just shocking. It also tells you that these people never read the book. They know only gossip about the Grimoire and what is in it. I can understand not using the Grimoire but, not reading it, that is very odd. The occult is loaded with “do nothing” occultists, many who not only do not perform rituals but, few actually read or study. I have found this true time after time. This Grimoire as the subtitle explains is about Commanding Spirits to do your bidding. Of course these spirits are demon, as they deal with the physical world of love, sex, money and control. Not things that an Angel would be likely to help you with. God and Angels are there for spiritual matters, not base level human desires, this is where the demons come into use. Not only demons but, the highest demon of them all Lucifer. The beaten demonic leader that now can be controlled and used through magic. Not by offering your soul in return for gifts. But, through threats of torture and punishment. I hope everyone understand now and rejects the silly Faust story and the terrible magic that story offers. While the Faust Grimoire is interesting and has unique Sigils, it is based in a false system of magic designed to entrap you and to take your soul. Nothing to practice lightly or get involved in at all. PAGE 9
Here the Grimoire goes into a lot of fascinating rituals to obtain power. Speaking with the Dead is an art that can be most useful, winning Lotteries, Bewitch Firearms, Insensible to Torture, Philosopher’s Stone, Find Treasure, Speak to John the Baptist, make someone dance nude, make someone love you, render yourself invincible, render yourself favorable to Judges, Mutilate Enemies, render yourself unyielding to steel, dissolve a fetus or end a birth, cure tuberculosis, cure edema, cures of a vast many diseases, making of a Solomon’s Mirror for manifesting anything and speaking to spirits, lucky and unlucky days, all detailed in exact terms on how to do it. Not old world language but, translated to be used. There is a wealth of magic offered here that has practical uses. From medical “cures”, to sex, protections of all kinds. Even in modern life, these have use. While some may seem odd, I see little difference from the old time desires to modern.
Part Two of the Grimoire
It is common like in modern publishing, to follow up a successful book with another or add-on to the first volume. Here the Grimoires goes into more detail about the all-important Thunder Ring and Mysterious Rod for finding treasure. Since there were few ways of becoming rich, finding treasure was one of the a few ways you could. Since there were no banks, people often buried treasures of all kinds. Details are given on making these powerful tools. While requiring time to find a few items, it is very possible to make the
PAGE 10
Rod described here. The Grimoire than describes demons that can assist in every possible ability from Alchemy, magic, long life and everything else like invisibility. The demon that controls these powers are detailed. There are hundreds of powers offered here with the demons in charge of them. Arbatel Grimoire magic is discussed as well with added insights given. More information is given on making Pacts with the Devil, Evoking the Dead, Divination by Heavenly Bodies and general medieval Astrology is given in detail, Exorcism, Secret of the Black hen, Secrets of Pentacles, Talismans, Secrets on the Physiognomy, Secrets of Queen Cleopatra, Secrets to render yourself Invisible, Secrets of the Wise Artephius, Secrets of Magical Philosophy, Magic Lore, even for Christmas and New Year. I just listed a wealth of fascinating information accessible to the reader of the Red Dragon Grimoire that is not offered in other texts either at all or properly translated. This Grimoire holds the power to everything you every need- It requires dedication of study and careful evoking and control of demonic spirits. No other Grimoire offers you what this one does. Book II, the Black Dragon completes the Grimoire and your training. While there are secrets within secrets in grimoires, the basic vulgar public text is powerful unto itself. Initiated individuals are allowed access to even more power. Against my wishes, IGOS just released a Grimoire Encoded series, offering some secrets about Grimoires. This is the second level of power Grimoires hold and by far, not the last. With a world dominated by the Black Lodge, only a few secrets can be revealed to the general public. Not only that but, advanced magic and the new extreme magic to come, requires a great deal of monitored, guided instruction, without this, the magic is worthless. This is a must have grimoire for any serious occultist. The following resources are highly recommended and other lots of FREE information. PAGE 11
